In Texas, mortgage foreclosure generally moves through a non-judicial deed-of-trust process under Texas Property Code Chapter 51. That means the timeline is driven by recorded notices and statutory cure and sale windows — not a lawsuit — so the days after a default notice are the most important. Knowing which notice you have and what each deadline means can shape your options across Fort Bend County.
Under Texas Property Code § 51.002(d), the servicer generally must send a breach or cure letter giving at least 20 days to cure before accelerating the loan. Curing usually requires paying the full arrears.
A Notice of Sale must be mailed to the borrower, posted at the courthouse door, and filed with the county clerk at least 21 days before the scheduled trustee sale under § 51.002(b).
Texas trustee sales are generally held on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse during the statutory sale window. Missing that date limits many later options.
Acting before a trustee sale is scheduled gives you the most room to review notices, explore loss mitigation, and consider a separate civil action where appropriate. Waiting until the sale date narrows your choices.
Texas foreclosure is almost entirely non-judicial. Understanding the deed-of-trust steps and their timing helps Fort Bend County homeowners know where they stand.
Once payments fall behind, the servicer tracks delinquency against the terms of the deed of trust — the security instrument that allows a non-judicial trustee sale in Texas.
A breach or cure notice is typically sent giving at least 20 days to cure the default before the loan is accelerated, per § 51.002(d).
At least 21 days before the sale, the Notice of Sale must be mailed, posted at the courthouse, and filed with the Fort Bend County Clerk under § 51.002(b).
The substitute trustee conducts the sale, generally on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse during the statutory window.
Texas generally does not provide a statutory post-sale redemption period after a standard mortgage foreclosure sale. Where a legal defect is alleged, a separate civil action in District Court may be pursued with the help of a licensed attorney.
