Tax deed sale
- Run by
- Andrews County Sheriff's Office conducts the sale on the county courthouse steps. The Andrews County Tax Assessor-Collector (Robin Harper) issues the written statement of no delinquent taxes that bidders must have, and the county's delinquent-tax law firm, Perdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins & Mott, L.L.P. (PBFCM), files the suits and publishes the Andrews County bid sheets.
- Frequency
- annual
- Typical timing
- First Tuesday of the month, starting at 10:00 a.m. The Andrews County bid sheet states: "Tax foreclosure sales are conducted by the Sheriff or a Constable of the county where the property is located. These sales are held on the first Tuesday of the month between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on the courthouse steps at a place designated by the commissioners' court." That sheet is headed "ANDREWS COUNTY SALES FOR FEBRUARY 7th, 2022 / SCHEDULED FOR 10:00 A. M." Andrews does not sell every month. PBFCM has posted only occasional Andrews bid sheets (file names 02-2023andrewstaxsale.pdf and 03-2024andrewstaxsale.pdf), and as of this check the Andrews entry on the PBFCM sale list is hidden, meaning no Andrews sale is currently scheduled.
Registration and deposit
Bidders must obtain a written statement from the Andrews County Tax Assessor-Collector showing no delinquent property taxes owed in the county (Tax Code 34.015). PBFCM's tax sale FAQ states that "Bidders must request a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector of no delinquent taxes due" and that the officer cannot deliver a deed without it. The commissioners court may also require bidders to register with the county tax assessor-collector before the sale begins, so requirements vary by county. Sales are for cash, and most counties accept cash or cashier's checks. Confirm current registration and payment rules with the Tax Assessor-Collector at 432-524-1409 before bidding.
Andrews County runs an in-person sheriff's sale on the courthouse steps. No online auction platform was found for this county, so no platform URL is given. The county tax office's own "Property Tax Sale" page carried no list of its own; it pointed bidders to the delinquent tax attorney, Perdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins & Mott, at pbfcm.com/taxsale.html and pbfcm.com/taxsalefaq.html, and hosted the Andrews bid sheet PDF. That tax office site (andrewscountytax.com) no longer resolves as of this check, and the county's Tax Assessor-Collector page now redirects to the payment portal at andrews.propertytaxpayments.net, so the sale-page evidence comes from an archived capture of the county's own site. Andrews sales are sporadic rather than monthly. PBFCM's sale page carries a standing warning that "This list changes frequently, and properties may be pulled from the tax sale at any time without advance notice." A recent Andrews bid sheet listed nine tracts with estimated minimum bids from $6,700 to $30,000, a mix of city lots in Andrews and small acreage tracts out of P.S.L. survey sections. The bid sheet also gave a PBFCM contact for sale questions: "Should any questions regarding the Sheriff's Sale, please contact ESTHER at (806) 775-5506". Under Texas Tax Code 34.21 the purchaser takes a redeemable deed: two years at a 25 percent or 50 percent premium for homestead, agricultural-use, and mineral interests, and 180 days at 25 percent for other property, running from the date the sheriff's or constable's deed is filed with the county clerk. The county clerk also posts a separate "Notice of Trustee Sales" page covering private foreclosures for the last 90 days, which is not the tax sale. In person, on the Andrews County courthouse steps
Over-the-counter (leftover) purchases
Texas has no over-the-counter certificate list. Parcels that draw no sufficient bid are struck off to the taxing unit that requested the order of sale, and that unit may resell them at any time by public or private sale. A public resale requested through the sheriff or constable may be sold for any amount. A private sale generally may not go below the lesser of the market value stated in the judgment or the total judgments against the property, unless every taxing unit entitled to proceeds consents. Ask the county or its delinquent-tax law firm for the current struck-off inventory.

Texas statewide rules
- Redemption
- The redemption clock runs from the date the purchaser's deed is filed for record, not from the sale date. Property that was the owner's residence homestead or was land designated for agricultural use when the suit or the warrant application was filed, and any mineral interest, may be redeemed on or before the second anniversary of that filing. Every other property may be redeemed only through the 180th day after the deed is filed. When a parcel is struck off to a taxing unit instead, the period runs from the date the taxing unit's deed is filed for record. The former owner has no right to use, possess, or collect rent from the property while the redemption right runs, and the right of redemption cannot be sold or transferred: any instrument purporting to transfer it is void.
- Deed deposit
- The Tax Code sets no statewide deposit and no buyer premium. Section 34.01 directs the officer to conduct the sale the way similar property is sold under execution, so payment terms are set locally by the officer who runs the sale. Most Texas counties collect the full bid in cash or by cashier's check on the day of the sale. Confirm the terms with the county before you bid.
- Homestead deeds
- Texas sets no separate opening bid for a homestead. What changes on a homestead parcel is the exit: a residence homestead, land designated for agricultural use when the suit or warrant application was filed, and a mineral interest all carry a two-year redemption right instead of 180 days, and the premium the owner pays can reach 50 percent in the second year. Price a homestead parcel for that longer clock.
- Surplus proceeds
- The officer pays any excess proceeds to the clerk of the court that issued the order of sale. The clerk holds the excess for two years after the sale and notifies the former owner when the amount exceeds $25. A claim must be filed before the second anniversary of the sale. The court pays established claims in statutory priority: a purchaser at a sale later adjudged void, taxing units for post-judgment or omitted taxes, other lienholders, taxing units for unsatisfied judgment amounts, and then the former owner. Anything unclaimed is distributed to the taxing units.
A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
