Non-Judicial Foreclosure definition
Non-judicial foreclosure is the process by which a trustee sells property under the power of sale in a deed of trust, without filing a lawsuit. Texas relies on this method for most home loans. The trustee follows the Texas Property Code: the lender gives notice of default and a chance to cure, then the trustee gives notice of sale and conducts a public auction.
Texas foreclosure sales occur on the first Tuesday of the month, during set hours, at the county courthouse, after notice is posted and filed in advance.
