Thank you for the additional information.

The entire foreclosure process can take about 3 months. (Click here to read about Texas foreclosure laws)

If you remain in the property after the foreclosure, the eviction process will begin. (Tex. Prop. Code §24.00 et seq (see Appendix "B").) Generally speaking, once the Sworn Petition is filed, it takes ten days to two weeks to obtain a hearing. Consequently, a typical eviction usually takes approximately one month depending upon how quickly service may be obtained and how quickly the Justice of the Peace Court with jurisdiction over the case moves its docket along.

These are general timelines, and not absolutes.

Let me know if you would like more information.
