Texas tax sale calendar
First Tuesday of every month. Every county. The clock you don't want to run out.
In Texas, tax foreclosure sales happen on the first Tuesday of each month, on the courthouse steps of the county where the property sits. If your property is on the list for that day, you usually still have a way to stop it — but only if you start a few weeks early.

What stops a tax sale
Four real options, in plain English.
Pay the back taxes off in full.
Stops the sale immediately. Sounds obvious; we mention it because if the amount is reachable for you or your family, this is the cleanest path and we'll tell you that on the first call.
Enter an installment plan with the county.
Most Texas counties offer installment agreements if the property is your homestead. They will not advertise it; you have to ask. We can walk you through how to apply before the sale date.
Sell the house before the sale.
If a sale would happen and you'd walk away with nothing, selling before — to us or anyone — usually puts cash in your pocket instead. We close in days, not weeks, when the clock is tight.
Let it go to sale, then redeem.
In Texas, if your homestead is sold at a tax sale, you have up to 2 years to redeem it by paying the buyer back plus a premium. This is a last-resort option and usually expensive, but it exists and we'll explain how it works if you want to know.
We are not lawyers or tax counselors. For final legal advice on stopping a tax sale, talk to a Texas real-estate attorney or a HUD-approved counselor. We can refer you to either.
Compassionate. Confidential. No pressure.
