When it runs
First Tuesday of the month, on the courthouse steps, with bidding starting at 2:00 PM. The posted notice reads: "I have on March 6, 2026, seized, levied upon, and will offer for sale the following properties, on the first Tuesday in April, 2026, the same being the 7th day of said month, at the South door of the Courthouse of the said County, 100 W. Live Oak Street in the City of Coleman, Texas, between the hours of 10 o'clock a.m. and 4 o'clock p.m. on said day, beginning at 02:00 PM." Sales are held only when a notice is posted, so check the appraisal district Tax Sales page before traveling.
Registration and deposit

Bidding is in person at the courthouse. The notice states the sheriff "will proceed to sell for cash to the highest bidder all the right, title, and interest of the defendants." Neither the county nor the appraisal district publishes a county-specific bidder-registration page or form, so the statewide rule governs: under Texas Tax Code section 34.015 a bidder must obtain a written statement from the county tax assessor-collector showing no delinquent property taxes are owed. Request that statement from the Coleman County Tax Assessor-Collector at (325) 625-2153 before the sale. Questions on specific tracts go to Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP at (855) 643-1864, the number printed on the notice.

Sale format and venue
Coleman County runs a traditional in-person redeemable tax deed sale. There is no online auction platform. The sheriff sells at the South door of the Coleman County Courthouse, 100 W. Live Oak Street, Coleman, TX, on the first Tuesday, with bidding opening at 2:00 PM inside the statutory 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM window. The only published property list is the Notice of Sale PDF posted on the Coleman County Appraisal District Tax Sales page; the April 7, 2026 notice carried four tracts with adjudged values from $860 to $1,230,900 and minimum bids from $860 to $30,307. The notice states the minimum bid "is the lesser of the amount awarded in the judgment plus interest and costs or the adjudged value," that "ALL SALES SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE," and that "THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL TAXES DUE ON THE PROPERTY WHICH HAVE BEEN ASSESSED SINCE THE DATE OF THE JUDGMENT." It also confirms the buyer takes subject to the owner's statutory right of redemption. The County Clerk's first-Tuesday trustee and foreclosure sales listed on the county website are deed-of-trust foreclosures, not tax sales, and that office states it has no information on them.

Over-the-counter (leftover) purchases

Texas has no over-the-counter certificate list. Parcels that draw no sufficient bid are struck off to the taxing unit that requested the order of sale, and that unit may resell them at any time by public or private sale. A public resale requested through the sheriff or constable may be sold for any amount. A private sale generally may not go below the lesser of the market value stated in the judgment or the total judgments against the property, unless every taxing unit entitled to proceeds consents. Ask the county or its delinquent-tax law firm for the current struck-off inventory.

Texas rules

Redemption
The redemption clock runs from the date the purchaser's deed is filed for record, not from the sale date. Property that was the owner's residence homestead or was land designated for agricultural use when the suit or the warrant application was filed, and any mineral interest, may be redeemed on or before the second anniversary of that filing. Every other property may be redeemed only through the 180th day after the deed is filed. When a parcel is struck off to a taxing unit instead, the period runs from the date the taxing unit's deed is filed for record. The former owner has no right to use, possess, or collect rent from the property while the redemption right runs, and the right of redemption cannot be sold or transferred: any instrument purporting to transfer it is void.
Deed deposit
The Tax Code sets no statewide deposit and no buyer premium. Section 34.01 directs the officer to conduct the sale the way similar property is sold under execution, so payment terms are set locally by the officer who runs the sale. Most Texas counties collect the full bid in cash or by cashier's check on the day of the sale. Confirm the terms with the county before you bid.
Homestead deeds
Texas sets no separate opening bid for a homestead. What changes on a homestead parcel is the exit: a residence homestead, land designated for agricultural use when the suit or warrant application was filed, and a mineral interest all carry a two-year redemption right instead of 180 days, and the premium the owner pays can reach 50 percent in the second year. Price a homestead parcel for that longer clock.
Surplus proceeds
The officer pays any excess proceeds to the clerk of the court that issued the order of sale. The clerk holds the excess for two years after the sale and notifies the former owner when the amount exceeds $25. A claim must be filed before the second anniversary of the sale. The court pays established claims in statutory priority: a purchaser at a sale later adjudged void, taxing units for post-judgment or omitted taxes, other lienholders, taxing units for unsatisfied judgment amounts, and then the former owner. Anything unclaimed is distributed to the taxing units.
Governing statute
Tex. Tax Code Chapter 34

A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
