When it runs
Not published by Hansford County. The county website carries no tax sale calendar, no sale notices, and no struck-off property list. Under the statewide rule, Texas tax foreclosure sales run on the first Tuesday of the month between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and a county this small holds one only in months it has properties ready. Call the Tax Assessor-Collector at 806-659-4120 to ask whether a sale is scheduled.
Registration and deposit

No county registration page or bidder packet was found. Texas Tax Code 34.015 requires the winning bidder to produce an unexpired written statement from the county assessor-collector showing no delinquent ad valorem taxes are owed in the county, so request that statement from the Hansford County Tax Assessor-Collector office at 221 Main in Spearman before any sale date. Ask the same office whether Hansford has adopted advance bidder registration under Section 34.011 and what payment it accepts.

Sale format and venue
Treat Hansford County as an in-person sale until the county says otherwise. No online auction platform was verified: the county site links to no auction vendor, and Hansford does not appear on the mvba upcoming Texas tax sales list. The County Clerk does post sale notices, but both documents on that page are non-judicial deed-of-trust foreclosures brought by mortgage servicers, not tax foreclosures, so they are not a tax sale list. The November 3, 2020 clerk notice states the sale place as the Hansford County Courthouse, 15 Northwest Court, Spearman, TX 79081, or the area designated by the Commissioners Court, which indicates the courthouse is the county's designated public sale location. Sale notices for a Texas tax sale are also posted at the courthouse door and published in a county newspaper, so check both.

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.
