Commissioners approve multiple tax-sale property transactions, reject one bid
Summary
Brooks County Commissioners approved several tax-sale property sales and one rejection during the June 20 meeting after Linebarger presented bidder offers; votes and bid amounts were recorded for each parcel.
The Brooks County Commissioners' Court approved multiple tax-sale property transactions on June 20 after Paul Chapa of Linebarger presented bids for several parcels in the City of Falfurrias.
Paul Chapa outlined offers for multiple tracts that had resulted from tax-sale proceedings. The court accepted bids and instructed county staff to proceed with sales or rejections as recorded on the agenda. Approved sales included a bid of $1,000 from Bryan Nunez for Tract 2 (Lot 22, Block 7, Addition No. 1) and a $1,800 bid from Krystal Mata for Lots 23 and 24 in Block 13, La Colonia Mexicana. The court also approved a $2,000 bid from Liam F. Ferguson for Lot 15, Block 1, R. A. McMullin Addition, with a recorded 4–1 vote in that instance. Another parcel (Lots 23 and 24, Block 7, Addition No. 1) sold to Bryan Nunez for $2,200. One offer—the $500 bid from Krystal Mata for Lot 21 in La Colonia Mexicana—was rejected by the court.
Commissioners provided recorded votes where noted. Several motions to approve sales were moved by Commissioners Eduardo “Eddie” Garza, Aaron Trevino and Nora Salinas and seconded by other members; where a vote split occurred the minutes identify the dissenting commissioner. Paul Chapa remained the county’s outside tax-foreclosure representative on the record presenting the offers.
