I need help. I'm in the last leg of my Right of Redemption phase. I've located the current owner and calculated all the fees including Interest and penalties. I need a Sample Notice Letter of my intention to redeem... and if she refuses to accept the monies tendered, I need to know what will I need to file with the District Clerk's office along the the total sum. I live in Texas. I have only 7 days before my redemption period expires.

@Travis Jeffery That surprises me, here they are very helpful.
I’d suggest a lical real estate attorney then, even though you probably din’t want to spend the extra miney.
Short of that, if you google up your state Statutes regarding Redemption of Tax sales.....the required procedure, exact form, timelines, etc. shiuld be there.
Any mailings of course need to be Certified with Return Receipt I imagine.
If the sale was done by the Sheriff office there, they may be of some help.....every state had a slightly different procedure.

Typically in Texas the tax offices do not have anything to do with redemptions. It's between you and the purchaser. You need to hire a board certified real estate attorney to write you a letter and request the redemption amount from the owner and write you a redemption deed.
You understand you will owe their purchase price,plus anything they have done to preserve, maintain, and secure the property, plus probably taxes for the past 2 years, and 50% penalty on top of all that.
