Sell Texas land fast, from 0 to 5 acres

I buy land from 0 to 5 acres anywhere in Texas, and I am open to any land in that size. That is bare land, a lot with an old mobile home, or a lot that already has water, septic, and power. Text me the address or photos of your land. There is no price list. There are no fees to you, and I pay the closing costs. When the deed is clear, a sale can close in as little as 24 hours. A title problem takes longer.

This is general information from public Texas sources, not legal advice for your tract.

What a cash buyer actually needs

The address is enough to start. These are the papers that decide whether a sale is simple:

The deed, and the legal description in it. A deed is the document that transfers the land. The Texas State Law Library's guide to real property deeds explains that title is the ownership and the deed is the paper. Texas Property Code Chapter 5 is the conveyances chapter. Texas Property Code Chapter 13 is the recording chapter. The deed is recorded with the county clerk where the land sits. A survey is a separate drawing of the tract. If you have one, send it. If you do not, say so.
The county appraisal district account. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts property tax basics page says the appraisal district, not the state, appraises property as of January 1. The Comptroller's local property appraisal and tax directory lists the district for each county. The Comptroller does not have your bill.
Taxes paid, or not. The Comptroller's page on paying property taxes says a tax lien attaches on January 1. Delinquent taxes are a lien. Tell me if they are unpaid. I will not guess the amount.
Other liens. A mortgage or a judgment shows up in a title search. I need to know one exists. I will not quote a payoff from a text.

How closing works

Land usually closes at a title company. They check the deed records and prepare the transfer. I pay the closing costs. There is no fee to you for selling to me. If the chain of title is clean, a sale can close in as little as 24 hours. If the title company has to chase an heir, a release, or a missing deed, it takes longer. That is not a clock I can promise.

If the owner has died

The deed may still show the person who died. The Texas State Law Library's page on informal probate methods says an affidavit of heirship is a sworn statement of who the heirs are. For real property it is filed with the county clerk where the land is located. The library also says it does not carry the same authority as a court proceeding, that buyers and title companies often accept one, and that nothing in the law forces a title company to accept it. The deeds guide says the county clerk does not rewrite the old deed into your name. If a court is already handling the estate, say that. I am not your lawyer, and I will not tell you which paper fits.

What changes the land, without a price

I will not print a price per acre. These are the facts I look at:

Size, from 0 to 5 acres, and whether you can get to it. A shared driveway or no road frontage is an access question. Tell me if the only way in crosses someone else's land.
Frontage on a public road, if there is any.
Utilities already in the ground. Water, septic, and power are covered on the utilities page. Bare land is still something I buy.
Flood. Look up the address at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center. A flood map changes the land. It is not a number I will invent.
Restrictions written into the deed or a subdivision plat. If you have them, send the page. If you do not know, say so.

An old mobile home on the tract is a different paperwork problem, because the home may still have its own Statement of Ownership. That is the old-home lot page. Text me the address either way.

Gather the papers for a small Texas tract

A cash look starts with the address, the deed, the county tax account, and a plain note about access and flood.

Find the deed. It is recorded in the county clerk's real property records and it should contain the legal description of the tract.
Look up the account at the county appraisal district. Ask whether the taxes are paid or delinquent. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts does not keep your local bill.
Write down anything that limits the land: a shared driveway, no road frontage, a deed restriction, or a flood map hit at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
If the owner on the deed has died, say so. An affidavit of heirship or a court paper may be what a title company asks for. That is not something to guess.
Text me the address or photos. Include the acreage if you know it. About 1 acre is enough of an answer. I buy from 0 to 5 acres.

Questions people ask

Do you buy any Texas land, or only lots with mobile homes?

I buy land from 0 to 5 acres anywhere in Texas. That includes a lot with an old mobile home, a lot that already has water, septic, and power, and land with no home at all. I am open to any land in that size range. I do not buy a site-built house.

What do you need before you make an offer on land?

The address or photos, and the acreage if you know it. The deed, or whose name is on it. Whether the taxes are paid. Whether there is a lien, a shared driveway, or a flood concern. I can look before every paper is in hand. I will not pretend a cloudy title is clear.

How does a land closing work?

A land sale usually closes at a title company. The deed is the transfer. There are no fees to you, and I pay the closing costs. When the deed is clear, a sale can close in as little as 24 hours. Unpaid taxes, a lien, or an estate can make it take longer. That is not a promise of a closing time.

What if the land is still in a relative's name?

Say so. The Texas State Law Library explains that a deed transfers ownership and that an affidavit of heirship is a sworn statement filed with the county clerk where the land sits. It does not always prove ownership by itself, and a title company decides what it will accept. This page is not legal advice.

Does a flood map or a restriction set the price?

They change what the land is, not a number I will print here. I do not publish prices. Frontage, utilities, flood, restrictions, and access all matter. Text me the address and I will tell you what I can pay after I see it.
