Lancaster ISD board unanimously approves Dallas County resale of tax-foreclosed parcel at 613 Pearson Street
Summary
On Oct. 30, 2025, the Lancaster ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution consenting to Dallas County's resale of a tax-foreclosed parcel at 613 Pearson Street. The vote followed a staff request and a resolution reading citing Texas Property Tax Code §34.05; the board recorded no dissent and Smith was absent.
Lancaster ISD trustees voted unanimously Oct. 30 to consent to Dallas County's resale of a tax-foreclosed parcel at 613 Pearson Street in Lancaster.
District staff presented a resolution authorizing the county to resell the property by public or private sale under section 34.05 of the Texas Property Tax Code and asked the board to sign the resolution that same evening. "I'm requesting for you to approve the sale of the property at 613 Pearson Street in Lancaster, Texas 75146," district staff said during the presentation.
Trustee Cortez moved to approve the sale; Trustee Jones seconded. The motion carried unanimously with six votes in favor and one trustee absent. Board President Hamilton read the resolution into the record, which directs Dallas County to act as trustee and authorizes resale to the highest qualified purchaser consistent with the statute.
The resolution attached language that the district cited during the meeting, noting that parcels struck off to taxing units after a sheriff's sale may be resold under Texas Property Tax Code §34.05 and that the county is authorized to execute quitclaim deeds on behalf of the taxing units.
No further details about prospective buyers, sale price, or closing timeline were provided during the meeting. The board did not report any amendments or conditions on the authorization; closed session earlier in the evening included a discussion of real property but produced "no action to take at this time," the board said when it returned to open session.
The board's formal action on the property will be reflected in the signed resolution and the county's subsequent sale process under Texas law.
