Delinquent Property Tax Sales (< Hyperlink)

Tax sales are conducted periodically throughout the year by our delinquent tax attorney’s McCreary, Veselka, Bragg & Allen. If a tax sale is to be conducted, a list of the properties to be sold, the minimum bid amounts, information regarding properties, and the general rules for bidding will be displayed on the attorney’s website, www.mvbalaw.com. All tax sales are conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Texas Property Tax Code and the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.

Unlike some other states, Texas does not sell tax lien certificates at tax sales.  Texas law requires judicial foreclosure of tax liens held by political subdivisions.  Property which is encumbered by a tax lien securing payment of delinquent taxes is sold at tax sales.
