Common situations in Hidalgo County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Hidalgo County estates are opened at the courthouse in Edinburg itself. Many Valley families never opened an estate for a parent's house, and the heirs may need a determination of heirship before a title company will insure a sale.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Hidalgo County trustee's sales are held on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse in Edinburg. Some older Edinburg houses were bought under contract for deed instead of a mortgage, which has its own default rules worth checking with an attorney. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
The Hidalgo County Tax Assessor-Collector collects the combined bill for most Edinburg owners. Unpaid taxes can lead to a delinquent-tax lawsuit and a sheriff's or constable's sale, and a homestead sold that way can be redeemed for a period afterward.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The City of Edinburg's code enforcement office responds to overgrown lots, junk, illegal dumping and dangerous or dilapidated buildings.

Edinburg evictions are heard by the Hidalgo County Justice of the Peace court for the precinct where the property is located. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.
More on tired of being a landlord →No fees or commissions, no showings or repairs, and buyers never see your contact details until you choose one. How DealSherpa works.
Selling for cash in Edinburg: questions
My family's Edinburg house was built with rooms added over the years and no permits. Can I still sell it?
Yes. Cash buyers in the Valley regularly buy houses with unpermitted additions and handle any permits or corrections afterward. Let the buyer know what was added and when, so the offer accounts for it.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Edinburg?
Texas sales close through a title company, which pays off the loan, the taxes and any HOA balance before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Hidalgo County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
