Pre-Foreclosure

Texas is one of the fastest foreclosure states in the country. We reach owners at the first default notice, weeks before the first-Tuesday auction.

Texas is non-judicial, so once a servicer sends the default notice the clock moves fast: a 20-day cure window, then a posted Notice of Sale, then a first-Tuesday auction. We deliver the owners while they still hold title. Skip-traced, DNC-scrubbed, pulled fresh. Filter by county or ZIP across all 254 counties. $0.22 a row, $0.50 minimum, no subscription.

The Texas window

A fast, non-judicial clock, not a court case

Texas foreclosures run on a power-of-sale deed of trust under Property Code 51.002. Three public steps, and our list is the first, while the owner can still act.

Your list
Stage 1 · default notice
20-day cure window

The servicer serves a certified-mail default notice giving at least 20 days to cure before any sale notice. Owner still on title and reachable, the workable moment.

Stage 2 · Notice of Sale
21-day posting

A Notice of Substitute Trustee Sale is filed with the county clerk and posted at the courthouse, at least 21 days before the sale. The countdown to the first Tuesday.

Stage 3 · first-Tuesday auction
Auction / REO

A public auction on the first Tuesday of the month, 10am to 4pm, at the county courthouse. Owner gone. One of the fastest timelines in the country, often 60 days or less.

Who works Texas pre-foreclosure

A fast, high-volume non-judicial market

The short Texas timeline makes the default window urgent, and the owner is motivated. Four buyer types work it four different ways.

Cash-buyer wholesalers

14-day-close wholesale

The core buyer. Cash offer around 60-70% ARV, owner avoids a foreclosure on their credit report. Needs hard-money or private-capital backing.

Loss-mit specialists

Short-sale + DIL

Negotiate a discounted payoff with the lender on the owner behalf. Lower margin per deal, more deals per list.

Hard-money lenders

Bridge loan to cure

Lend enough to cure the default, take a first-lien position, refi out later. Low conversion, high ticket.

Defense attorneys

Foreclosure defense

Owners hit with a default notice are actively searching for help, and direct attorney outreach at this window converts well.

Best for

  • Wholesalers running Texas cash-offer, fast-close campaigns
  • Loss-mitigation and short-sale services inside the cure window
  • Hard-money and bridge lenders on Texas equity
  • Foreclosure-defense attorneys challenging a non-compliant sale

Not for

  • Post-auction REO or trustee-sale-result tracking (owner already gone)
  • Buyers who need the exact default date, amount or sale date in the file
  • Anyone who wants a forced monthly subscription bundle
  • List-renters expecting exclusive, single-seat data
How Texas foreclosure works

The default-and-sale-notice signal, not a soft-proxy guess

Most "pre-foreclosure" lists are dressed-up proxies: 90+ days late plus high loan-to-value. Texas gives a faster public signal, and we use it.

Non-judicial, power of sale

Texas runs foreclosure without a lawsuit, on a deed of trust under Property Code 51.002. The default notice and the posted Notice of Sale are the public steps, not a court case. Texas returns about 22,000 active, the order of magnitude of true inventory, not a six-figure proxy dump.

The fast window

A 20-day cure period, then a Notice of Sale at least 21 days before a first-Tuesday auction. That is the narrow window where the owner still holds title, is motivated, and is reachable. Speed is the whole game in Texas.

Enriched, ready to dial

Owner identity, skip-traced phones and emails, estimated equity, mortgage balance and lender. 90+ columns, so you score a Texas deal before you call.

What we do not ship

The recorder-document detail (exact default date, amount, posted sale date) is not in the file. You get the flag, the owner, the equity picture, and the contact path, pulled fresh. Filings are public record, so we do not promise exclusivity.

Pay-as-you-go, not a forced subscription

Every other Texas pre-foreclosure tool makes you subscribe first

The tools usually recommended for Texas pre-foreclosure data are $50-100-a-month subscriptions, billed whether or not you pull a single list. We charge by the row, with an optional plan for high-volume teams.
