Liens that survive

HOA/POA liens can survive a Texas tax sale if the association recorded its lien and was not properly joined/notified. Federal tax liens survive (IRS rights). Post-judgment taxes and unjoined municipal liens may remain — search deed records 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.

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.

How that number is built

Assessed $74,645 ÷ 1 assessment ratio. Texas requires appraisal at 100% of market value as of Jan 1 (Tex. Tax Code § 23.01).

Flat penalty

25%

$10,424

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.
