To the best of my recollection, TX is a tax deed state. That would mean that no one has been buying the tax liens.
Once the statutory period has expired and the property goes to sale, the person with the winning bid would get the deed.
Rlynne, you need to check your local law library for the proper information on "Adverse Possession", though I'm not even certain if TX is a common law state.
In Tax Lien states like California, yes, a person can bid on tax certificates. But he or she doesn't automatically get a tax deed at the end of 5 years, right? If I'm not mistaken, if the owner (or someone else) pays the delinquent taxes it fulfills the certificates.
