Located Vacant Home, Now What?

[Sean Romero]

Situation:  I have spotted a vacant home in my neighborhood. 4/2 3988 sq. ft. built in 2005 in a nice neighborhood with comparable homes on same street. Only about 4-6 properties in the entire neighborhood of about 50+ homes are for sale.

Actions: I have asked the neighbor of the vacant home about the owner and he said he took off. I have checked the mailbox of the home and the mailbox says "Do no put mail in here --Vacant." I know the owners name because I have checked the county website for tax information but his mailing address is the vacant home address (owes the county tax money). There is no mobile number information provided.

Location: South Texas

Is there anything I can do, that I haven't already, to try to communicate with this owner? Would someone be able to provide a current address or phone number or is that personal information that will never be given to someone else? Am I just going to have to wait and see if this property ever goes into foreclosure for tax/mortgage purposes? 

Thank you for reading and responding, have a great day.
