Understanding the Foreclosure Process in Texas

Foreclosures in Texas are typically nonjudicial, allowing lenders to act swiftly. In some cases, foreclosures may become judicial, requiring court involvement. Either way, time is limited once the lender issues a Notice of Default or Notice of Sale. Texas law mandates only a 20-day window to respond before your property could be auctioned.

This urgency means you need experienced legal support. At Machi & Associates, P.C., we examine your case, identify any lender violations, and help you implement the most effective legal strategies to halt foreclosure.

Legal Solutions to Stop Foreclosure in Fort Worth, Arlington & Dallas

Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy places an automatic stay on foreclosure proceedings. This allows you to reorganize your debts and catch up on mortgage payments over time. Timing is critical—bankruptcy must be filed before your home's sale date. Our team ensures you meet all deadlines and file correctly.

Other proven strategies to avoid foreclosure include:

Reinstating your mortgage by catching up on missed payments
Negotiating a loan modification to reduce monthly costs
Requesting forbearance or repayment plans due to hardship
Refinancing your loan to better terms
Short sale with lender approval
Deed in lieu of foreclosure (voluntary transfer to the lender)

Foreclosure FAQ – Fort Worth, Arlington & Dallas

How long does the foreclosure process take in Texas?

In Texas, foreclosures can happen quickly—sometimes in just 60 to 90 days after a missed payment. That’s why it’s vital to act immediately if you receive a Notice of Default or Sale. Our team can help you halt the process and evaluate your legal options.

Will bankruptcy stop a foreclosure?

Yes. Filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy stops foreclosure with an automatic stay. It also allows you to repay past-due mortgage payments through a structured plan. This must be done before the foreclosure sale occurs.

What’s the difference between a short sale and a deed in lieu?

A short sale involves selling your home for less than what’s owed, with lender approval. A deed in lieu means you voluntarily give your home back to the lender. Both avoid formal foreclosure and may reduce credit damage.

Can I stay in my home during the foreclosure process?

Yes. You may remain in your home throughout the foreclosure process unless and until an eviction order is issued after the sale. Legal defenses can buy you more time or stop foreclosure altogether.

What if the lender refuses to work with me?

Our attorneys can step in to negotiate on your behalf. Lenders are often more responsive when dealing with experienced legal counsel. We advocate for your best interest using proven legal tools.
