Claiming surplus funds in Kerr County
Surplus from sales in Kerr County is held by the county office that conducted the sale, typically the clerk, auditor, or treasurer. We confirm the holding office before anything is filed.
Tex. Prop. Code ch. 51 governs deed-of-trust foreclosure, with § 51.0075(e) requiring proceeds to be disbursed as law requires; the deed and lien-priority law determine the overage recipient after expenses and secured debt. Chapter 51 sets no universal initial owner surplus filing deadline. Ask the trustee promptly for accounting and distribution; a later civil action follows its own claim and limitations period. Property-redemption rules are separate.
