If you're behind on your mortgageāor know someone who isā**you are not alone**. Thousands of Texas families face foreclosure every year, not because theyāre careless, but because life happens: job loss, medical debt, rising bills, or just bad timing.
The good news? **Foreclosure doesnāt happen overnight.**
And the law gives you options to fight backāif you act early.

ā³Understand the Timeline
In Texas, foreclosure can move fastāespecially **nonjudicial foreclosures**. Hereās a simplified version of how it plays out:
* **Missed Payments** ā Lender sends **Notice of Default**
* **20 Days Later** ā Lender can issue a **Notice of Sale**
* **21 Days After That** ā Home can be sold at auction on the **first Tuesday of the month**
Thatās just **41 days** between the first warning and losing your home.
But during that window, you still have rightsāand options.

š ļø Explore Your Options
Donāt ignore the mail or avoid phone calls. Instead:
* **Request a loan modification** (lower payments, new terms)
* **Apply for forbearance** (temporary pause on payments)
* **Refinance** with a different lender
* **Sell the property** before the auction and walk away with equity
* **File bankruptcy** (if needed, to halt the process and reorganize debt)
The key? **Talk to someone who understands the process**.
At NOFA, weāve helped dozens of families find the right legal or financial move before itās too late.

š¤ Donāt Fight Alone
The system is designed to be confusing. Lenders count on fear and silence to speed things up. But you're not powerless.
We connect homeowners with:
* Foreclosure defense attorneys
* Mortgage workout specialists
* State and nonprofit resources
* Exit strategies that protect your dignity and your familyās future

What If the Home Is Already Lost?
If your home was sold at a foreclosure auction, that doesnāt mean the story is over. In many cases, the home sells for **more than what was owed** on the mortgage. That leftover money is called an **overage** or **surplus**.
And that money could still be rightfully yours.
