In Texas, a Notice of Trustee's Sale or Substitute Trustee's Sale, related to a foreclosure, must be filed with the county clerk and publicly posted at least 21 calendar days before the sale. This notice provides details about the debt, the property, and the three-hour period during which the sale will occur. The county clerk's role is to file-mark and maintain these notices, not to conduct the auction.
