Texas Tax Deed - Taking Possession During Redemption Period
Have you ever had any resistance evicting the former owner of the property prior to the sale from a JP court during the 2 year redemption period?
Example:
Jonh Doe lives at 123 Fictional Street with a homestead exemption. Can I buy the home and file for eviction on his primary residence during the 2 year redemption period and rent it out.
I believe this is possible, but I'd rather ask now and make darn sure I'm right. I understand the deed gives ownership to the auction buyer. I just wonder if it's a grey area - or just plain black and white text.
