Hey @Jason Jinks you have to put in the date range of the properties. BUT you have to know about foreclosures in Texas to know what date range to put in.
Foreclosures in Texas happen on the 1st Tuesday of the month. The trustee foreclosing has to post 21 days before the sale. SO you have to look search the dates that are AFTER the last cutoff date and 21 days or more before the first Tuesday of the next month.
Kinda confusing.
Today is August 8. First tuesday was August 6. July 16 was the cutoff for August 6. I would search from July 17 to today for the September 3 sale. Keep doing this until August 13 (which is 21days before September 3). After August 13 you are searching for the properties that will happen in October.
There are really only 2 ways to get the information. You buy it from a service or you go directly to the county and get it. I wish I had some super secret knowledge for you, but its pretty simple. All it takes is a google search and a few phone calls.
Rick I hope you can help clarify something for me. I am on the county clerks website and have found both the map and list of “foreclosures.” However are all these home already fully foreclosed upon or are some still in the pre-foreclosure status? If there are some still in pre foreclosure how do you tell the difference between the two?

@Micah Manor you'd mostly get tax delinquent list on the county websites. You need to email or call the county and request for a list. They will give it to you for free.
Sometimes you can get from the county. You probably want to figure out how to limit the data so you don't get stuff you don't want. Like properties where the appraised value is between $50,000-$500,000 with single family house on it. I find you probably also want to see houses that are at least 3 years delinquent. Some counties it is a simple phone call and they email you a file. Some you have to talk to 10 people first. Some you get from the tax assessor and some from the appraisal district. Some are free some want to charge you big bucks. Some you may have to get through a freedom of information request.
If you have more money than time and want less headaches, you might try a paid service like this one.
