Why Acting Fast Matters in Texas

Texas has one of the most aggressive foreclosure timelines in the country. Once your lender files a Notice of Default, the foreclosure sale can happen in as few as 21 days. Unlike many states, Texas uses a non-judicial foreclosure process — meaning no court approval is required to take your home.

Every missed payment adds late fees, damages your credit score, and brings you closer to a foreclosure that stays on your record for 7 years. A foreclosure can drop your credit score by 100 to 160 points and make it difficult to buy another home, rent an apartment, or even secure certain jobs.

The good news: you still have options. If you act before the foreclosure sale date, you can sell your home, pay off your mortgage, protect your credit, and walk away with cash in hand. Alpha Cash Buyers specializes in helping homeowners in exactly this situation.

Know Your Options

Options When You're Behind
on Mortgage Payments

Loan Modification

Your lender may agree to modify your loan terms — extending the length, reducing the rate, or adding missed payments to the balance. This can take 30 to 90 days and is not guaranteed.

Forbearance

A forbearance agreement pauses or reduces payments temporarily. However, you still owe the full amount later. This buys time but doesn't solve the underlying problem.

Short Sale

If you owe more than the home is worth, a short sale lets you sell for less than the balance with lender approval. This process typically takes 60 to 120 days and requires extensive paperwork.

Sell for Cash (Fastest)

Sell directly to Alpha Cash Buyers and close in as few as 7 days. Your mortgage is paid off at closing, you keep remaining equity, and there are zero fees or commissions. The fastest and most certain option.

How Alpha Cash Buyers Helps

When you're behind on mortgage payments, you need a solution that's fast, certain, and doesn't add more costs to an already stressful situation. Here's exactly how we help homeowners in Dallas-Fort Worth avoid foreclosure and move forward:

Close Before Your Foreclosure Date

We can close in as few as 7 days. Because we buy with cash, there's no waiting for bank approvals, appraisals, or buyer financing. If you have a foreclosure sale date approaching, we prioritize your timeline and coordinate directly with the title company to get to closing as fast as possible.

Your Mortgage Is Paid Off at Closing

The title company pays off your remaining mortgage balance directly from the sale proceeds at closing. You don't need to come up with any money. If there's equity remaining after the payoff, that cash goes directly to you.

Zero Fees, Zero Commissions

When you sell to Alpha Cash Buyers, there are no real estate agent commissions (typically 5–6% of the sale price), no closing costs, and no hidden fees. Our offer is your net amount. When every dollar counts, this makes a real difference.

Protect Your Credit Score

A foreclosure can drop your credit score by 100 to 160 points and remain on your credit report for 7 years. By selling before the foreclosure sale, you avoid that mark entirely. Late payments still affect your score, but the damage is far less severe than a completed foreclosure.

Avoid Deficiency Judgments

In Texas, if your home sells at a foreclosure auction for less than what you owe, your lender can pursue a deficiency judgment for the remaining balance. By selling on your terms before foreclosure, you control the outcome and avoid this risk.

The Texas Foreclosure Timeline

Understanding the Texas foreclosure process is critical to protecting yourself. Here's what happens after you miss payments:

Day 1–30: Missed Payment. Your lender contacts you about the missed payment and assesses a late fee (usually 4–6% of the payment). After 30 days, the late payment is reported to credit bureaus.

Day 60–90: Notice of Default. After multiple missed payments, your lender sends a formal demand letter. This is your warning that foreclosure proceedings are being considered.

Day 90+: Notice of Sale. Texas law requires at least 21 days' notice before the foreclosure sale. The sale happens on the first Tuesday of the month at the county courthouse. Once the sale occurs, you lose the home.

The window to act is narrow. The earlier you contact us, the more options you have. Even if your sale date is days away, call us — we've closed deals on tight timelines before. Learn more about selling a home in foreclosure.

Behind on Payments FAQ

Can I sell my house if I'm behind on mortgage payments?
Yes. You can sell your house at any point, even if you are several months behind on payments. When you sell to Alpha Cash Buyers, your mortgage is paid off directly at closing through the title company. You keep any remaining equity as cash.
What if I owe more than my house is worth?
If you owe more than the home's current market value, a short sale may be an option. This requires lender approval to accept less than the full balance. Alpha Cash Buyers has experience negotiating with lenders on short sales and can help you explore your options at no cost to you.
Will selling my house stop the foreclosure process?
Yes, as long as you sell and close before the foreclosure sale date. Once the home is sold and the lender is paid off at closing, the foreclosure process ends. Selling for cash is the fastest way to close before that deadline because there's no waiting for bank approvals or buyer financing.
How fast can Alpha Cash Buyers close?
We can close in as few as 7 days. If you are facing a foreclosure deadline, we prioritize your timeline and coordinate with the title company to close as quickly as possible. You pick the date that works for you.
Do I need to tell my lender I'm selling?
You are not required to notify your lender before selling. The title company handles the mortgage payoff at closing. However, if a short sale is needed (when you owe more than the home is worth), lender communication and approval is required — and we help coordinate that entire process.
What happens to my remaining equity after the sale?
After your mortgage balance and any liens are paid off through the title company, you receive the remaining equity as cash at closing. Alpha Cash Buyers charges zero fees and zero commissions, so more of the sale price stays with you.
What about a short sale — is that different from selling for cash?
A short sale occurs when the home sells for less than the mortgage balance and requires lender approval, which can take 60 to 120 days or longer. If you have equity in the home, a direct cash sale with Alpha Cash Buyers is much faster — closing in as few as 7 days. If a short sale is your best option, we can help with that process too.
