How the Texas Non-Judicial Foreclosure Process Works

In Texas, ordinary mortgage foreclosure is non-judicial. It generally happens through the power-of-sale clause in your deed of trust rather than a court lawsuit. Here is the typical sequence for Polk County, Texas homeowners.

  1. 1

    Default & 20-Day Cure

    After missing mortgage payments, the lender/servicer may provide notice of default. Under Texas Property Code §51.002 you generally have a 20-day cure window to bring the debt current.

  2. 2

    21-Day Notice of Sale

    If the default isn't cured, the trustee or substitute trustee generally gives at least 21 days' notice of sale, typically posted at the county courthouse and in the county.

  3. 3

    First-Tuesday Trustee Sale

    The public sale is generally held on the first Tuesday of the month at the location designated for foreclosure sales in Polk County, conducted by the trustee/substitute trustee.

  4. 4

    Trustee's Deed & Deficiency

    If sold, the successful bidder receives a trustee's deed. Whether any deficiency can be pursued depends on the loan documents and Texas law — a qualified attorney can advise.
