Galveston County (Galveston, League City, Texas City, Dickinson, Friendswood’s Galveston side, and nearby) uses the same first-Tuesday calendar as the rest of Texas. Mortgage trustee sales and tax sales are not always in the same place.
Where Galveston mortgage trustee sales are called
Many notices set the sale in the first-floor lobby of the Galveston County Courthouse, 722 Moody (21st Street), Galveston, TX 77550, or “the area designated by Commissioners Court.” Times on the notice (often 10 a.m. or 1 p.m., within a three-hour window) control. Trust the paper you were mailed.
How to get there
The island, downtown, not League City City Hall. From Houston: I-45 south onto the island, then Broadway (87) toward 21st / Moody. 722 Moody is the courthouse a few blocks off the Strand. First Tuesday plus island traffic is a bad mix — leave early, especially in summer.
If you drove to the League City municipal complex because that is on your water bill, turn around. The mortgage sale is usually in Galveston unless your notice says otherwise.
Tax sales are often online
Galveston County has moved many delinquent tax sales to an online sheriff platform (RealAuction / related county pages). Execution sales may still be in person at the courthouse. Do not assume the bank’s trustee sale is online because the tax sale is. See tax sale vs. mortgage foreclosure.
Sheriff sale information: Galveston County Clerk — property foreclosures.
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 of trustee sale: how the notice works. Dates: 2026 first Tuesdays (next is November 3).
