IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION REGARDING THE ELIGIBILITY OF PERSONS TO PURCHASE PROPERTY AT TEXAS TAX SALES, AS PROVIDED BY HOUSE BILL 335, PASSED BY THE 78TH REGULAR SESSION OF THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE:

Beginning with Texas Tax Sales conducted on or after October 1, 2003, purchasers at tax sales must present to the sheriff conducting the sale a written certification statement issued to the purchaser by the county tax assessor-collector. This written certification states that on current properties owned by the purchaser, there are no delinquent taxes due to the county or any school district or city with territory in the county. House Bill 335 further prohibits the sheriff or constable from delivering a tax deed to any purchaser who fails to present to the office the required statement issued by the county tax assessor-collector.

  • The above new law is effective with the October 7th, 2003 Sheriff's Tax Sale.

  • On the form, a potential bidder must list all current property owned in Bexar County including legal description.
  • On the form, a potential bidder must also list previously owned Bexar County property and provide proof of sale.
