Deposit rules

Typical Texas in-person pattern: no advance platform deposit; cash or certified funds at sale. Texas Tax Code §34.015 written statement of no delinquent taxes from the Collin County Tax Assessor-Collector is required before a tax-sale deed may issue. Confirm payment method with the selling constable/sheriff precinct for the specific sale notice.

Title risk

Liens that survive the sale

HOA/POA liens can survive a Texas tax sale if the association recorded its lien and was not properly joined/notified in the foreclosure suit. Federal tax liens survive. Always search deed records for association and municipal liens before bidding.

Quiet title

Not legally mandatory, but title companies generally require a completed suit to quiet title before insuring, because of statutory redemption rights and possible un-joined lienholders.
