Austin County (Bellville, Sealy, Wallis, San Felipe) is west of Fort Bend. It is not the City of Austin in Travis County, and it is not a sale on Congress Avenue. Mortgage trustee sales are the first Tuesday.
Where Austin County mortgage sales are called
Notices commonly name the foyer of the Austin County Courthouse, One East Main Street, Bellville, TX 77418, or the area designated by Commissioners Court under Property Code §51.002.
The clerk files notices. The clerk does not run the auction and cannot give legal advice. Courtesy postings: Austin County. Tax sales are a different file; catching up the mortgage does not automatically stop a tax sale. See tax sale vs. mortgage foreclosure.
How to get there
Bellville, not Austin. From Houston: US 290 west through Hempstead, then Texas 36 south. One East Main is the courthouse on the square. Sealy (I-10) and Wallis sit on the Fort Bend / Waller edge — still use the county on the notice.
Brenham is the next town north on 36, in Washington County, which is not on this list. If you are already in Brenham, you are in the wrong county for this sale. Bellville is about fifteen to twenty minutes south. If you have time to kill in Brenham anyway, people go to Blue Bell. The trustee will not be at the creamery.
The calendar
First Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. If that Tuesday is January 1 or July 4, the sale is the first Wednesday. Twenty-one-day notice still applies. Dates: 2026 first Tuesdays (next is November 3).
What to do today
- Copy date, time, and “1 E. Main, Bellville” (or whatever the notice says).
- Call the trustee and loss mitigation.
- Call a HUD counselor: Who to call, HOPE 1-888-995-HOPE.

Frequently asked questions
This is not Travis County / the City of Austin?
Correct. Austin County’s seat is Bellville. A Travis County notice is a different state of problems and a different website.
I live in Sealy. Is that Fort Bend?
Sealy is Austin County. Nearby edges can be Fort Bend or Waller. The notice names the county that will call the sale.
