San Antonio: Bexar County recordings, the courthouse sale and the city's Vacant Buildings Program
Bexar County deeds are recorded by the County Clerk's Recordings office in the Paul Elizondo Tower, 101 W. Nueva, Suite 103. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, with Wednesdays open until 5:45. A second office is the Southside Annex, 3505 Pleasanton Road. The clerk requires original documents with original signatures and will not record a copy.
Where the sale happens
The clerk's foreclosure FAQ says the sale is held the first Tuesday of every month between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If that Tuesday is January 1 or July 4, it moves to Wednesday. The location is the west side of the Bexar County Courthouse at 100 Dolorosa, or another spot the Commissioners Court designates. The sales are cash auctions, so a bidder needs cash or certified funds. The county's foreclosure map at maps.bexar.org/foreclosures is updated twice a month: on the first Friday after the auction and about 18 days before the next sale.
Taxes and estates
The county tax calendar says statements start mailing in October and the bill can be paid without penalty and interest through January 31. It also lists half-payment dates of November 30 and June 30. Attorney fees on past-due taxes are added on July 1 unless an arrangement is made by June 30.
Bexar has three probate courts at 100 Dolorosa: Court 1 in Room 117, Court 2 in Room 123 and Court 3 in Suite 1.20. The probate clerk sits in the basement of the Old Courthouse, (210) 335-2241.
Vacant Buildings Program
San Antonio's program is run by Development Services. The city's page says buildings must still be maintained when vacant, registrations renew every year, and the program includes annual inspections. An amendment dated September 21, 2023 added owners of vacant structures within 1,000 feet of a school or licensed childcare facility. The FY 2027 fee schedule lists an annual registration fee of $400 for a single-family structure and $900 for other structures, plus an inspection fee of $0.01 per square foot with a $50 minimum. A late fee of $150 applies after the 90-day registration deadline. The same schedule lists a service charge of $1,000 to $20,000 when the city abates a dangerous premises. The program line is 210-207-7244.

What TX sellers say
Real results from San Antonio-area homeowners
“Job relocation from San Antonio-New Braunfels to Seattle with 3 weeks notice. I couldn't list and wait. They had an offer in my hands the next morning and we closed before I started my new job. The creative finance option was something no other buyer even mentioned.”
James E.
San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX
“The creative financing option was a game-changer. I had plenty of equity in my San Antonio-New Braunfels home but needed time to find my next place. They structured a deal where I got above-market value and had 60 days to relocate.”
Thomas N.
San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX
“I was 5 months behind on my mortgage and the mortgage company was sending scary letters every week. Close With Creative called me back within 4 hours, explained my options clearly, and we closed in 19 days. They literally saved my house from foreclosure.”
Margaret A.
Austin-Round Rock-Georgetown, TX
“My uncle passed and left me her house in Lubbock. It needed everything — structural damage and code violations. I live across the country away and couldn't deal with contractors. They bought it as-is and I had a check in 16 days. The novation option got me $35K more than the cash offer.”
Linda B.
Lubbock, TX
“Going through a divorce in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission is expensive enough without paying 6% realtor commissions. Close With Creative gave us a fair cash offer, handled everything through the title company, and both parties walked away satisfied. Professional and discreet.”
David C.
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX
“I had a triplex in Killeen-Temple with tenants who hadn't paid rent in 5 months. Every cash buyer I called gave me a lowball number. These guys presented four different options — I picked novation and got $22K more than the next best offer.”

Selling a house in San Antonio, TX — common questions
Do you buy houses anywhere in the San Antonio area?
Yes. We buy throughout the San Antonio-New Braunfels area and across Texas, in any condition and any price band. If the property is outside that metro but still in Texas, we still buy it.
How fast can I get an offer on my San Antonio home?
Within 24 hours of telling us about the property. That covers all four structures, not just a cash number. Cash and wholesale close in 7-14 days and 14-30 days; creative finance and novation take longer because they pay more.
How fast can I sell my house in Texas?
Close With Creative provides a competitive cash or creative financing offer within 24 hours of evaluating your Texas property. If you accept, we can close in as little as 7 to 14 days, or on whichever date fits your timeline. Texas closings are handled by title companies.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my Texas home?
No. We buy all Texas properties completely as-is. You do not need to clean, paint, repair the roof, fix the foundation, or address code violations. We handle all maintenance and renovation after closing.
Are there any fees or commissions when selling to Close With Creative in Texas?
Zero. No agent commissions, no listing fees, no closing costs. Texas has no state transfer tax or stamp tax on real estate transactions. We cover all other closing costs. The offer you accept is exactly what you receive at closing.
What types of properties does Close With Creative buy in Texas?
We purchase single-family homes, townhouses, condos, duplexes, multi-family properties, mobile homes, vacant land, and commercial properties throughout Texas. Any condition — fire damage, water damage, outdated, code violations, or perfectly maintained.
How does Texas's foreclosure process work?
Texas uses non-judicial foreclosure through deed of trust with power of sale, one of the fastest in the nation at about 60 days from notice to sale. Selling to Close With Creative before foreclosure completes protects your credit and preserves your equity.
What is the difference between a cash offer and creative financing in Texas?
A cash offer means we pay the full price at closing using our own funds, typically within 7 to 14 days. Creative financing structures the purchase over time, often resulting in a higher total payout — sometimes 90% to 110% of market value. We present both options along with novation and wholesale paths so Texas sellers can choose the best fit.
Can I sell my Texas house if I still have a mortgage?
Yes. Most Texas homeowners who sell to us still carry a mortgage. At closing, your existing mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds through the title company. If you owe more than your home is worth, we may still have creative solutions available.
How do transfer taxes or closing costs work in Texas?
Texas has no state transfer tax or stamp tax on real estate transactions. We cover all other closing costs.
What Texas cities and areas do you serve?
We buy properties across all of Texas's major markets. From the Alamo in San Antonio to the Space Center in Houston, from the Dallas skyline to the Hill Country of Fredericksburg. If it's in Texas, we'll make an offer.
How do you determine the offer price for my Texas property?
We analyze recent comparable sales, current market conditions, property condition, and repair estimates. Texas's median home price is approximately $340,000 with homes selling in about 45 days on market. Our valuation process is fully transparent — we share the data behind every offer.
