Liens that survive

Judgment extinguishes interests of named defendants; unjoined owners/lienholders can survive. Federal liens may retain rights. Post-judgment taxes often remain buyer’s responsibility. HOA/city demo-mow liens may survive. Deed is without warranty; title insurance difficult until redemption ends.

Quiet title

Title companies generally require quiet title after redemption expires before insuring free-and-clear marketable title.

Verify before you bid

This record was compiled from the published sale list. Parcels are pulled, redeemed, and re-priced up to the moment of sale. Confirm the lot is still in the sale, and confirm the opening bid, directly with the county.

Your assumptions

After-repair value (ARV)

Override the derived estimate with real comps

Rehab budget

You cannot inspect before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition

Known surviving liens

Municipal code enforcement, special assessments, federal tax liens

Target margin — 30%

Required profit as a share of ARV. 30% is a common floor for tax-sale flips.

How that number is built

Assumed floor, not a valuation of this parcel. No assessed value, provider estimate or comps were available, so this is the opening bid of $9,500 times 2.57 — the conservative quartile of the value-to-opening-bid ratio across 669 TX parcels where both figures are known (measured 2026-08-11). The middle half of those parcels ran 2.57x to 10.99x, so the true figure could plausibly be $104,405. Treat this as a starting magnitude for research, never as a reason to bid — enter real comps before you do.

If the owner redeems

Flat penalty

25%

You'd receive

$2,703

Window

730 days

A 25% flat penalty applies if the owner redeems. It is a penalty, not annual interest — the rate does not change with how early they redeem.

homestead and agricultural-use property (2 years); all other property is 180 days

Quoted elsewhere as 51% annualised — true only if they redeem on the last possible day and you immediately redeploy the capital. Treat the flat penalty as the real number.

Before you bid

Rehab is assumed to be $0. You cannot inspect these properties before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition.
Surviving liens assumed $0. The 180-day vs 2-year window turns on the property's use at the time of sale, which the sale list does not state — treat any homestead-looking residential parcel as potentially 2-year.
This ceiling rests on an assumed floor, not a valuation of this parcel. It is a research starting point, not a green light — get comps or an assessor figure before bidding.
