As the area around New Braunfels has grown, a lot of older family property has resurfaced in these cases, often with heirs who didn&#8217;t know they were involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many people, the first contact is a constable or sheriff&#8217;s deputy at the door with a citation and an Original Petition. Having someone hand you legal papers in person is unsettling, and it&#8217;s easy to assume the worst. In these matters it&#8217;s usually just the standard way a civil case over unpaid property taxes begins. It isn&#8217;t a criminal charge, and it isn&#8217;t a scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cause is usually a gap in probate. When an owner passes away and no probate is filed, their interest passes to the next of kin under Texas intestacy laws, while the county&#8217;s records still list the original owner. When the taxes fall behind, the suit is filed and the county researches the family tree to name the living heirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Comal County, taxes run through the Comal County Tax Assessor-Collector (205 N. Seguin Avenue, New Braunfels, TX 78130; 830-221-1353), property values are set by the Comal Appraisal District, and the case is on record with the Comal County District Clerk. All of it is public and can be confirmed before you make any decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, people generally resolve the lawsuit with an attorney, look into a payment arrangement, or sell their portion, which takes them out of the lawsuit without needing everyone else to agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A couple of questions we hear a lot in Comal County:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The land has gotten valuable as the area built up. Is my share worth more now?<\/em> It can be. A higher property value generally lifts the offer, though it&#8217;s still based on your individual share rather than the whole property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Do I have to get everyone in the family on the same page first?<\/em> No. You can sell your own portion without the rest of the family agreeing. Each heir decides separately about their own share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If you&#8217;re looking to remove yourself from a lawsuit and get paid for your interest, no cost to you, call or text us at (469) 708-8003 for an offer today.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: BCP Real Estate is not a law firm and its employees\/owners are not acting as your attorneys.
