Notes

Texas redeemable tax-deed (judicial tax foreclosure) county. Navarro County tax foreclosure sales follow the standard Texas first-Tuesday-of-the-month pattern at the courthouse area designated by commissioners, conducted by sheriff/constable under Tax Code Ch. 34 after judgment. Foreclosure notices appear via county clerk / EasyDocs-style portals (navarro.easydocs.us/foreclosures). Post-sale redemption: 2 years for homestead/ag/mineral, 180 days for other property, with steep statutory penalties. Corsicana / Rice / Kerens market south of Dallas–Fort Worth along I-45.

Frequency

First Tuesday of the month when judgments are posted; confirm each month's list before traveling

Platform

Navarro County Sheriff/Constable tax foreclosure (courthouse) — notices via county foreclosure portal ↗

Deposit rules

Typical Texas practice: no advance deposit; winning bidders pay cash or cashier's check the day of sale by the officer's deadline. Pre-registration may be required for some officers. Confirm exact payment form and cutoff with the posting constable/sheriff and tax assessor-collector before sale day. Texas Tax Code redemption rights apply after sale.

Title risk

Liens that survive the sale

HOA/POA liens can survive if the association recorded its lien and was not properly joined. Federal tax liens survive (IRS rights). Always search deed records for association and municipal liens before bidding. Redemption period and penalties are statutory — budget for them.

Quiet title

Not legally mandatory, but title companies generally require a completed suit to quiet title before insuring because of redemption rights and possible un-joined lienholders.
