Judicial foreclosure is required in certain situations such as foreclosures involving home equity loans, reverse mortgages, or property owners' association assessments.
In order to qualify for a non-judicial foreclosure, the lienholder must have a deed of trust with a "power of sale" clause, giving them the authority to sell the property. These foreclosures are governed by Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code as well as the contractual documents.
It is important to note that Texas is primarily a non-judicial foreclosure state, meaning most foreclosures occur without court supervision. ³⁷ However, you always have the right to challenge an improper foreclosure in court.
Judicial foreclosure refers to foreclosure proceedings that take place through the court system. This foreclosure process occurs when a mortgage lacks a power of sale clause, which would legally authorize the mortgage lender to sell the property if a default occurred.

The administrator usually sends a notice about the available funds to the borrower sometime after the foreclosure sale asking if the borrower wants to make a claim.
