Texas foreclosure moves quickly once a Notice of Default is issued. Understanding the notices and responding during the cure period gives Montgomery County homeowners the most options.
After a Notice of Default, Texas law generally allows 20 days to cure by paying the past-due amount. Once it passes, the process advances toward a sale.
A Notice of Sale must be given at least 21 days before the trustee sale, which is typically held on the first Tuesday of the month.
A complete loss mitigation application — loan modification, forbearance, or repayment plan — can pause the process while your servicer reviews it.
