Trust Deed Foreclosures in Texas
In Texas, a public auction must be held in the county courthouse for the foreclosure sale of a property conveyed by a deed of trust. The auction must occur on the first Tuesday of a month, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in the county courthouse.[4]
A lawsuit is not required to initiate the foreclosure (known as a “non-judicial foreclosure”).
