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 filed in the county's courts that hear probate. When a parent died years ago without a will, the heirs may need either a probate case or an affidavit of heirship that a title company will accept.

Hidalgo County trustee's sales are held on the first Tuesday of the month after a notice is filed with the County Clerk and posted. Some Valley houses are bought under contracts for deed, which have their own rules for default. 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 for the county and many local taxing units. Long-unpaid taxes can lead to a tax suit and a public sale.

Selling for cash in McAllen: questions
My parents' McAllen house is still in their names, and they've both passed. Can we sell it?
Usually yes, once the heirs are clear. A title company will tell you whether it needs a probate case or an affidavit of heirship, and a cash buyer can wait while that paperwork is done.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in McAllen?
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.
