FAQ
Texas homeowners Most foreclosures are non-judicial types. This means court approval isn't required and speeds up the process. Many Texas foreclosures take 160 days. This is much faster than the national average of 922 days in foreclosure for the second quarter of 2021.
Non-judicial is the most common foreclosure process in Texas, and it can be frightening for any homeowner struggling to make payments on time. Not only are you at risk of losing your home, but the non-judicial process can happen much more quickly since there's no need to involve the court.
Texas is a power of sale jurisdiction, meaning that a lender can go through with the sale of your property without having to go to court. As a result, foreclosures in Texas can be very quick, sometimes being completed about two or three months after the process begins, though this is quicker than average.
In the complaint, the plaintiff asks the court for a judgment and for permission to sell the home at a foreclosure sale.
The Stages of Foreclosure Stage 1: Default of Payment. Stage 2: Notice of Default. Stage 3: Notice of Sale. Stage 4: Foreclosure Sale. Stage 5: Eviction.
One way to attack a foreclosure is to argue that the foreclosing party does not have standing to foreclose. If the foreclosing party cannot produce the promissory note on which the loan is based, the court likely will dismiss the case.
To contest a judicial foreclosure, you have to file a written answer to the complaint (the lawsuit). You'll need to present your defenses and explain the reasons why the lender shouldn't be able to foreclose. You might need to defend yourself against a motion for summary judgment and at trial.

For homeowners facing immediate foreclosure, filing for bankruptcy or obtaining a temporary restraining order (TRO) can be effective solutions. Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy creates an “automatic stay,” which temporarily halts all collection activities, including foreclosure auctions.
