What we buy with the violations
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to finish repairs, clean the house, or clear it out to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the property and its notice; we can discuss the house in its current condition.
What can affect closing in Texas
A code notice may set a deadline to correct the problem. If it is not addressed, a city can issue a citation or arrange work and bill the owner. For a substandard building, Texas law allows a city to order repairs or removal and, in qualifying cases, record a lien for its costs with the county clerk. Texas law also provides a lien route for some municipal nuisance-abatement costs.
A lien generally remains until it is paid and may be handled from the sale proceeds at closing. Selling does not automatically end an open order or court case. The title company can review recorded liens and the notice or order that applies to the property.

Questions about selling with code violations
Can I sell a Big Spring house with code violations?
Usually, yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Open notices, orders, bills, or liens may still need to be addressed, and a sale does not automatically end an order or court case.
Does selling the house clear a city order or lien?
No. A sale does not automatically end an open order or court case. Some city repair or cleanup costs can become a lien that must be paid; the title company reviews the specific property record and what remains due.
What should I tell you about the code notice?
Start with the Big Spring property address and what you know about the house. If you have a notice, deadline, city bill, or court paper, we can review it with you as we talk through the property.
