Direct property acquisition in Texas
DL Solutions evaluates single-family homes, townhomes, and residential lots across Texas, with active coverage in the Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston metros. Our office is in Oxon Hill, Maryland, and Texas acquisitions close through licensed Texas title companies with documents signed remotely. Send any Texas address; if the property sits outside where we can work, we say so quickly rather than sitting on it.
What is different in Texas
Texas forecloses non-judicially under the power of sale in a deed of trust (Tex. Prop. Code §51.002): a public auction at the county courthouse on the first Tuesday of the month, on at least 21 days' posted and filed notice with certified mail to each debtor, and a residential debtor must first receive at least 20 days to cure. Deficiency judgments are possible within two years (§51.003), and a foreclosure-sale buyer takes the property as-is (§51.009). A direct purchase that pays the loan off at closing can work against that statutory clock when the numbers allow. This is general information, not legal advice; a HUD-approved housing counselor can explain every option.
Texas sellers of residential property (one dwelling unit or less) must deliver a written Seller's Disclosure Notice on or before the contract effective date (Tex. Prop. Code §5.008); the notice covers known condition issues including flood and drainage history, and a seller's failure creates a seven-day buyer termination right after receipt. An honest, complete disclosure is part of how we underwrite an as-is purchase — known items in writing keep the offer durable.
Texas is a non-disclosure state: the actual sale price of a private real-estate transaction generally does not appear in public county deed records (Tex. Tax Code §22.27; Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), so deed-record statistics undercount what buyers actually paid. Separately, the school-district homestead exemption is $140,000 of appraised value, the homestead cap limits appraisal growth to 10% per year once it applies, and a homeowner may protest an appraisal each year through the Appraisal Review Board, with the May 15 deadline (or 30 days after notice) controlling that tax year (Tex. Tax Code §11.13).
