Storage Auction Redemption Rights

Summary

In Texas, the owner can redeem the property before the auction by paying the balance. If the winning bidder fails to pay, the property does not automatically go to the storage facility. You may file a complaint with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Charging more than the owed amount might be considered unfair. Contact the Texas Office of the Attorney Generals Consumer Protection Division for assistance.
