Jones County approves multiple tax‑forfeited property sales and rescinds two prior approvals
Summary
Jones County Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a slate of tax‑forfeited property sales and to rescind two prior bid approvals from Oct. 14, 2025. The actions include individual sales with stated bid amounts and several administrative advertising and procurement steps.
Jones County Commissioners Court on Feb. 9, 2026 approved the sale of multiple tax‑forfeited properties and rescinded two prior bid approvals from October 2025.
The court approved agenda items 3–5 as a single action after Commissioner Lonnie Vivian moved for combined consideration and Commissioner Roy Spalding seconded. The approved sales listed on the agenda include a $1,000 bid from Jeremy Robert Walker for R27697 (Lot 4, Block 199, Johnson Addition, City of Anson), a $1,200 bid from Jonathan Darling for R15798 (a .321‑acre tract in the City of Anson), and a $25,000 bid from Gabriel L. Menken and Brenda L. Menken for R13254 (lots in the Original Town of Stamford). The agenda states court costs were waived for items 3–5.
Separately, the court approved bids submitted by Raveendranath Chouttapalli for several parcels: $700 for R17357 and $1,700 for R17356 (both listed under Cause No. TX011717, with court costs of $1,343.65 noted), and $847 for R24720 (Winkles Lueders Block 2, Lots 10–12), for which court costs were listed as $837. Commissioner Vivian moved and Commissioner Spalding seconded those approvals; each motion passed with all commissioners voting aye.
Commissioner Vivian also moved to approve a $2,000 bid from Timothy Daniels and Rebecca Daniels for R27498 (Ericsdale Lueders Block 18, Lots 1–8), with court costs noted at $1,358.65; the motion passed unanimously.
The court voted to rescind earlier approvals of bids submitted by Chasa Rogers and Cody Rogers for R28038 and R22058 that had been approved on Oct. 14, 2025. That rescission was moved by Commissioner Vivian, seconded by Commissioner Spalding and approved by the court.
Why it matters: disposition of tax‑forfeited property affects county revenues, local property records and future redevelopment options. The court recorded bid amounts and court‑cost waivers as part of approving the sales.
Next steps: The minutes record the approvals; deeds and closing procedures will follow county processes for trustee sales and conveyance.
