Extends the redemption period for elderly persons to reclaim their homesteads sold at tax sales.

This bill amends the Texas Tax Code to extend the redemption period for elderly persons who lose their homesteads in tax sales. Specifically, it allows individuals aged 65 and older who owned their homesteads at the time of the tax sale to redeem their properties within four years of the deed being filed for record. This extended period applies regardless of whether the property was sold to a private purchaser or a taxing unit. The changes will take effect on January 1, 2026, contingent on voter approval of a related constitutional amendment.
