In Texas delinquent property owners can turn to private enterprise who will pay all your delinquent taxes, secure a lien against your home, and allow you to make monthly payments.
You pay a lot less interest than the interest and fees the state charges you.
I suspect this woman, for whatever reason, refused to pay the measly thousand bucks she owed the state and then owed that tax lien firm who bought the debt.
Sounds like she brought his all on herself.
I object to interactions between the state and private companies in which private companies are taking on the duties that were previously only performed by the state.
This feels too much like fascism to suit me.
The state can claim a private home when it's tax bill equals it's appraised value. That is reasonable and equitable.
But of course that's not how any of these criminal minded bastards think. They want to be literal "Lords" of the peasants.
