Harris County First Tuesday Auctions — What Investors Need to Know
Under Texas Property Code §51.002, all non-judicial foreclosure trustee sales in Harris County must take place on the first Tuesday of each month between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Auctions are held at Harris County Family Law Center — east steps, 1115 Congress Ave.
The timeline from lis pendens filing to First Tuesday auction is typically 21 days minimum — which means the clock starts the moment a notice of default or substitute trustee's notice is filed. That's your window to contact the homeowner, negotiate a pre-foreclosure deal, or position for the courthouse auction.
Foreclosures Now notifies you the instant a filing is recorded in Harris County, giving you the full 21-day window — not the 2-day window you get from manual research or delayed data aggregators.
