Do this first, or they cannot deed it to you
Texas counties gate this two ways and we do not hold which one this county uses — the sale notice does. Either you register with the officer on the day and show photo ID, or you bring a written statement from the assessor-collector that you owe the county no delinquent taxes. The statement takes up to ten business days — for this sale the ten-day window has already closed, so if it wants one, call the assessor-collector and ask whether they will issue it faster. Without the right one the officer cannot deed you the land. This county's list is published by Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson.
The opening bid is the tax owed, not a valuation
— $5,377.97 against $102,430 on the appraisal record, a gap of 19×. That gap is the size of a spread, not a discount: the opening bid is what is owed in tax, which has nothing to do with what the land is worth. The judgment itself puts the value at $110,620 — the court's finding, a different number from the appraisal roll. Verify condition, access, liens and flood risk before you act.
The risk you are taking
You can be bought out, and the premium is not profit. On ordinary land the former owner has 180 days to repay you plus 25%. On a homestead, a farm or a mineral interest it is two years — 25% in year one, 50% in year two. The clock starts when your deed is recorded. If they redeem you get back your bid, the recording fee, the taxes you paid and your reasonable upkeep — but only costs you itemise in writing within ten days of their asking, and nothing at all for improvements or renovations.
