Harris County Recovery Procedure & Verification

When a tax deed auction or sheriff's tax sale closes above the upset bid in Harris County, the clerk deposits excess funds into the statutory court registry. Under Tex. Tax Code § 34.04, junior lienholders have initial notice priority, after which remaining funds belong to the record titleholder or heirs.
