Market Nuances
Padgett’s Texas practitioners are highly experienced in the state’s non-judicial foreclosure process, which allows lenders to foreclose without court involvement when all statutory requirements are properly met. Texas offers one of the fastest foreclosure timelines in the country, making compliance and precision critical. When foreclosures are contested, Padgett’s Texas team is fully equipped to handle litigation and effectively navigate the complexities of the local legal system, including jurisdictional differences and related bankruptcy matters.
While foreclosures in Texas are primarily non-judicial, there may be circumstances that dictate foreclosure through judicial means, such as in the Show Me case. Padgett’s team is also well-versed in handling judicial foreclosures in state or federal court to obtain marketable title from foreclosure and recoup on client assets via the judicial process in what may generally be a non-judicial state.
With in-depth knowledge of Texas foreclosure law and a strong record of success across the state’s diverse counties, Padgett is uniquely positioned to provide efficient, strategic, and results-driven representation. Whether managing high-volume portfolios, resolving contested foreclosures, or addressing bankruptcy-related issues, our team is committed to protecting your interests at every stage of the process, statewide.
