Notes

Texas redeemable tax-deed. Hood County (Granbury / DFW southwest lake market) holds court-ordered tax sales on the first Tuesday of the month, 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., in the 2nd floor courtroom of the Historic Hood County Courthouse, 100 E. Pearl Street, Granbury. Hood CAD posts the next scheduled tax sale (listed September 1, 2026 as of research) and Constable Precinct 4 publishes tax-sale information with notices at the County Annex, Hood County News, Linebarger (publicans.com / taxsales.lgbs.com), and the courthouse public board. Separate mortgage substitute-trustee sales also run first Tuesday at the Historic Courthouse—distinguish tax order-of-sale from trustee notices.
