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.

The most common foreclosure process in Texas is non-judicial, which means the lender can foreclose without going to court, so long as the deed of trust contains a power of sale clause. A power of sale clause is a paragraph in the deed of trust that authorizes the non-judicial foreclosure sale.
When can a lender start foreclosure? Most loans from a bank must be 120 days delinquent before any foreclosure activity starts. However, smaller lenders can sometimes start foreclosure even if you are only one day late. The lender is only required to send you two notices before a foreclosure sale.
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.
