Act Early

Act Early — Texas Moves Fast

Texas is one of the fastest foreclosure states in the country because the process is non-judicial and does not require a lawsuit. Once the 21-day Notice of Sale is posted, the first-Tuesday auction can be as little as a few weeks away. Acting early gives you the best chance to protect your home.

Respond to Every Notice

If you receive a notice of default or a notice of sale, do not ignore it. Deadlines under Texas law and your deed of trust can pass quickly, and the earlier you respond, the more options you preserve.

Gather Your Documents

A complete loss mitigation application is key. Having your mortgage statement, hardship explanation, and income documentation ready can help move your loan modification or reinstatement forward faster.

The Texas Non-Judicial Foreclosure Process

Texas does not require a lawsuit for most residential mortgages. Instead, the lender proceeds under the power-of-sale clause in the deed of trust, with the sale handled by the trustee or substitute trustee. Here is how the process typically moves.

  1. 1

    Default & 20-Day Cure

    Once you are in default on your mortgage, the lender may give notice under the terms of the loan and the Texas Property Code. For many home loans, you can cure the default within 20 days of receiving the required notice (§51.002).

  2. 2

    Notice of Sale (21 Days)

    The trustee files and posts a Notice of Sale and serves it at least 21 days before the sale date, as Texas law requires for most home loans. The notice identifies the date, time, and location of the sale as well as the property involved.

  3. 3

    First-Tuesday Auction

    The sale is held on the first Tuesday of the month at the location designated for foreclosure sales in Gaines County, as stated on the Notice of Sale. The property is sold to the highest bidder.

  4. 4

    After the Sale

    After the sale, the trustee executes a Trustee's Deed to the buyer. Texas generally provides no statutory right of redemption after the sale for most residential mortgages, and a deficiency may be pursued depending on the loan details — so acting before the sale is critical.

Loan Modification

A loan modification changes the terms of your loan to make payments more affordable, such as a lower rate, extended term, or deferred arrears. It can be an option for Gaines County homeowners who have the income to sustain the new payment.
