In this episode you will learn: - That Texas homestead protection is powerful but has four key exceptions that allow for foreclosure. - Why a purchase money lien, the original mortgage to buy the home, is a primary exception. - How unpaid property taxes create a superior lien that can lead to the forced sale of a homestead. - The strict requirements for a valid mechanic's lien, including a written contract signed by both spouses before work starts. - That defaulting on a home equity loan is another specific exception that can result in losing a homestead.
