DeWitt County, TX foreclosures & upcoming trustee sales

How foreclosure sales work in DeWitt County

Foreclosure auctions in DeWitt County are set by state law rather than by each lender. Texas Property Code §51.002 puts non-judicial trustee sales on the first Tuesday of the month, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the area designated by the DeWitt County Commissioners Court in Cuero.

Where the DeWitt County sale is held: the Commissioners Court designates the sale area at the courthouse in Cuero and records that designation in the county real property records; each notice of sale also states the county and the earliest time the sale will begin. Check the notice and the County Clerk before you go.

At least 21 days before a sale the notice of trustee sale must be posted at the courthouse and filed with the DeWitt County Clerk, which makes the clerk the official source. The clerk publishes posted notices online here: DeWitt County foreclosure notices. Tax-foreclosure auctions follow a court judgment and are handled by the sheriff or a constable, not a trustee.

Many posted sales never happen: borrowers reinstate, lenders postpone, or the notice is withdrawn, sometimes on the morning of the sale. A trustee sale also generally transfers the property as is, with no inspection and no title guarantee.

Due-diligence tip: treat any list, including ours, as a starting point. Read the full notice at the DeWitt County Clerk, look for other liens and back taxes, drive by the property, and verify the sale status with the trustee before auction day.

This is general information, not legal, financial or investment advice. Talk to a Texas real-estate attorney before you bid.
