The Texas Foreclosure Manual is the expansive practice resource Texas attorneys have been waiting for. This one-volume manual provides:

  • Forms and instructions to take you through the foreclosure procedure from beginning to end
  • In-depth analyses of cases and statutes dealing with a myriad of foreclosure issues
  • Valuable information for representing the mortgagee or mortgagor

The Texas Foreclosure Manual is written with both the general practitioner and the real estate expert in mind. It covers the basics, such as:

  • Giving the notices required by state law while complying with the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
  • Collection of rent before foreclosure by lender.
  • Conducting a valid foreclosure sale.

This manual also provides guidance for more complex situations, such as:

  • Collateral transfers of liens
  • Multiple borrowers or lenders
  • Modifications
  • Federal tax liens
  • Brownfields compliance
  • Second-lien foreclosures

Background searches, deficiency suits, and judicial foreclosures are also covered. In addition to all this, this manual includes 43 articles from the TexasBarCLE Online Library, as well as a county appendix that lists designated sale sites, county Web sites, and appraisal district Web sites to all 254 Texas counties. A digital product containing the entire manual with forms in Word and WordPerfect is included at no additional charge or available for purchase separately.
