What survives this 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 (IRS rights). Post-judgment taxes and unjoined municipal liens may remain — search deed records and the appraisal district before bidding. Sheriff/constable deed is without warranty.
