Sale list
Foreclosures / Tax / Trustee Sales (Concho County notices)
When it runs
First Tuesday of the month, at the Concho County Courthouse in Paint Rock, between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., beginning at 10:00 a.m. The most recent posted notice reads: "will offer for sale the following properties, on the first Tuesday in May, 2026, the same being the 5th day of said month, at the Courthouse of the said County, in the City of Paint Rock, Texas, between the hours of 10 o'clock a.m. and 4 o'clock p.m. on said day, beginning at 10:00 AM." Only that one tax sale notice was posted on the county's Foreclosures / Tax / Trustee Sales page as of July 2026, so Concho County appears to hold sales occasionally rather than every month.
Registration and deposit

No county registration portal or pre-registration form is published. The notice states the officer "will proceed to sell for cash to the highest bidder," so bidders show up at the courthouse on sale day with certified funds. Statewide, Texas Tax Code section 34.015 requires a bidder to present a written statement from the county assessor-collector showing no delinquent property taxes are owed; in Concho County that office is the Tax Assessor-Collector at 152 N. Roberts, Paint Rock, phone (325) 732-4312. The county's own posted notice does not describe a registration process, so confirm the written-statement procedure with that office before the sale.

Sale format and venue
Concho County sells redeemable tax deeds at an in person sheriff's sale on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse in Paint Rock. There is no online bidding platform and no county auction site. The county posts each notice of sale as a PDF on its Foreclosures / Tax / Trustee Sales page; the same page also carries private trustee (deed of trust) foreclosure notices, which are a different process and are not tax sales. Delinquent tax suits are brought in the name of Concho Central Appraisal District, which also collects property taxes for the county's taxing units, and are prosecuted by Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP. The notice directs bidders: "For more information, contact your attorney or LINEBARGER GOGGAN BLAIR & SAMPSON, LLP, attorney for plaintiffs, at (325) 655-0442." The May 5, 2026 notice listed eight tracts in Paint Rock and Eden plus rural acreage, with adjudged values from about $1,050 to $132,500 and estimated minimum bids from about $1,050 to $31,163. The notice explains the minimum bid rule: "The Minimum Bid is the lesser of the amount awarded in the judgment plus interest and costs or the adjudged value. However, the Minimum Bid for a person owning an interest in the property or for a person who is a party to the suit (other than a taxing unit), is the aggregate amount of the judgments against the property plus all costs of suit and sale." It also warns: "ALL SALES SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE. THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL TAXES DUE ON THE PROPERTY WHICH HAVE BEEN ASSESSED SINCE THE DATE OF THE JUDGMENT." The notice confirms the redeemable character of the deed: any property sold "shall be subject to the right of redemption of the defendants or any person having an interest therein, to redeem the said property, or their interest therein, within the time and in the manner provided by law." In person at the Concho County Courthouse, Paint Rock, Texas. No online auction platform.

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.
