Notes

Texas redeemable-deed county. Maverick County (Eagle Pass / US–Mexico border) delinquent tax properties sell via sheriff/constable auction on the first Tuesday pattern when orders of sale post, plus attorney-driven resale lists for struck-off inventory held by taxing units (private resale packets have been published by tax counsel firms). Tax Assessor-Collector Ruben Montemayor (830-773-9273 per Comptroller directory). Online property tax search at esearch.co.maverick.tx.us. Confirm sale location, minimum bid, and certified-funds rules before first Tuesday. Border industrial (Eagle Pass port) and floodplain DD essential.

Auction logistics

Format

In-person (sheriff/constable tax sale; plus periodic resale lists)

Frequency

First Tuesday of the month when posted; struck-off resale lists published separately by tax counsel

Platform

Maverick County Sheriff / Constable — tax foreclosure sale ↗

Deposit rules

Typical Texas practice: winning bidders pay cash or cashier's check the day of sale for the full amount; pre-registration or no-taxes-due statement may be required. Resale (struck-off) purchases follow the selling attorney's packet — often as-is resale deeds without warranty. Confirm with Tax Assessor-Collector (830-773-9273) and selling officer.

Title risk

Liens that survive the sale

HOA/POA liens can survive if not properly joined. Federal tax liens survive. Always search deed records for association and municipal liens before bidding. High statutory redemption premiums apply after sale.

Quiet title

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