Mortgage Assignments and HOA Liens in Texas
Navigating mortgage assignments in Houston can be complex. Typically, these are cataloged not by traditional methods but rather indexed solely under the lender's names. With prevalent banks such as Wells Fargo and Bank of America, sorting through numerous assignments to find pertinent ones can be daunting. Additionally, some HOA liens in Texas may have super lien status, potentially overriding prior mortgages unless otherwise specified in the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs).
Understanding Tax Mortgages in Texas
In Texas, tax mortgages, also known as Tax Deed of Trust or Tax Lien Contracts, generally take precedence over other mortgages, regardless of the recording dates. This arrangement involves a third-party agreement to pay a homeowner's property taxes, creating a first-priority lien on the property.
