Texas Trustee Sale - property tax implications

[Neha Wadhwani]

Hello,

I am newbie investor and I recently purchased a property at the trustee sale (auction) in Texas in Oct 2014. Am I supposed to pay the taxes for the entire 2014 calendar year or is there a prorated path for dealing with this? I received the the property tax statement from my county and it lists the entire year of taxes but I owned the property for only 3 months. Any advice here would be highly appreciated. Thank you!
