Texas Tax Sale Excess Proceeds
Court Registry Intelligence Feeds
Under Texas Tax Code § 34.04, funds remaining from a tax warrant or judicial foreclosure sale after satisfying delinquent tax judgments and costs are transferred to the registry of the court for distribution to statutory claimants.
Key Texas Excess Proceeds Framework:
- 1. Two-Year Limitation Period: Claims must be filed within two (2) years of the date of the sale pursuant to Tex. Tax Code § 34.04(a). Unclaimed funds transfer to the county general fund.
- 2. Third-Party Representative Rules: Statutory compensation caps (typically 25% under § 34.045) and strict formal verification requirements govern third-party representation petitions.
- 3. Judicial Petition Requirement: Unlike administrative clerk claim procedures, Texas claims require formal petition filing in the district court where the tax judgment originated.
