I was researching taxes on a property in Texas, much to my amazement, I ran along a property that doesn’t have title or anyone paying taxes (I couldn’t believe that someone at the tax office missed this one) but I need some direction. Does someone know realestate law in Texas? How do I get title to the property? Thanks in advance.
The better odds are that SOMEBODY has title to the lot. You would have to do a title and chain of title search (not clear above that you did one). It is probably "part" of another tract of property. My money would be on the idea that the tax department overlooked it and some individual is benefiting by not being billed.

contact a real estate attorney. they may be able to help in finding out old leins or previous owners not listed in public documents. it may cost a little but may pay off big if you can get a great parcel for a cheap price. good luck
