When it runs
Registration and deposit
The appraisal district posts the property description and minimum bid for sealed-bid offerings but no bidder registration procedure or bid form online. Texas Tax Code sec. 34.015 requires a purchaser at a tax sale to present a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector showing no delinquent taxes are owed. Contact the appraisal district at 940-864-3805 for sealed-bid instructions and deadlines, and the Sheriff's office at 940-864-2345 for foreclosure sale postings.

Check the state rules that change the bid

Which liens survive is state law, so read what survives a tax deed in Texas before you price the title work.Set a walk-away number
Work out what the parcel is actually worth with the rural land value estimator, then turn it into a ceiling with the tax deed max-bid calculator.
Over-the-counter (leftover) purchases
unsold properties
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.

County notes
- Tax collection for Haskell County taxing units runs through the Haskell County Appraisal District (chief appraiser Jamie Ferguson), not the County Tax Assessor-Collector. Verify payoff and bid figures with the appraisal district at 940-864-3805. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m.
- County Tax Assessor-Collector: Connie Benton, Haskell County Courthouse, 1 Avenue D, Room 1, Haskell, TX 79521, phone 940-864-2181, fax 940-864-6164. This office handles the Texas Tax Code sec. 34.015 written statement that a bidder owes no delinquent taxes, even though it does not collect property taxes.
- Sheriff: Conrad Saucedo, III, Haskell County Courthouse, 1 Ave D, Haskell, TX 79521, phone 940-864-2345. The Sheriff is the officer who conducts tax foreclosure sales under Texas Tax Code sec. 34.01.
- The county website (haskellcountytx.gov) has no tax sale, delinquent tax or foreclosure page, and its Public Notices page carries no tax sale postings. Plan on calling the offices directly rather than watching for an online posting.
- Inventory is thin and sporadic: the most recent sealed-bid offering was a single small town lot in Rochester with a $1,100 minimum bid, which is typical of the deal size in this county.
Texas 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.
