What are next steps after win Tax Auction in Texas?

I stumbled into a Tax Auction while doing some business at the courthouse so decided to throw my hat in the ring.

I ended up with 9 properties for $3,500

I knew nothing about these properties beforehand but could tell what part of the city they were in by the legal description and I would also peek at other bidder's sheets and they'd have actual street addresses for some properties that I knew.

Anyhow, when I cashed out all I was told is that I would receive a Sheriff's Title to these properties within ten days.

So, now what do I do?

Some of these places are vacant land in "no good" areas so I got them for $200 or $400

for a .33 acre lot.

Others are off in the country with ragged mobile homes sitting on them (I google mapped after I got home)

One has a house on it that needs to be razed.

Anyhow, they don't have an instruction booklet for the "after" steps so I'm curious as what do I do?

These were all tax resales so that 6 month or 2 year waiting period is almost over for all of them if not, it is very near the end of the period.

Thanks
