We buy houses in Texas City, tenants and all
Almost half the occupied homes in Texas City are rented, so the seller is often a landlord. We buy rentals and owner-occupied houses for cash, in the condition they are in, and the lease can come with the sale.

Do you buy rental houses in Texas City?
Yes. We buy Texas City rental houses with the tenant still living there, and we buy owner-occupied homes too. The Census Bureau counts 56.5% of the city's occupied homes as owner-occupied and leaves about 43.5% rented.
A Texas City seller may be a landlord who is done with repairs and turnover, an owner who rented the house out after moving, or a family selling the home it lives in. Each gets the same written number built from sales near the property. Texas City is 13.9 miles from our Stewart Road office, which Google Maps times at 23 minutes, so a walkthrough is easy to set up.

Selling a Texas City rental with the lease in place
A tenant who pays on time is worth something to us, so you do not have to empty the house before you sell. We read the lease, confirm the rent and the deposit, and take over as landlord on closing day. The tenant is told in writing who the new landlord is and where the next payment goes.
A tenant who has stopped paying or will not allow showings is the harder case, and it is where a listing usually stalls. We still make an offer. It accounts for the time an eviction or a negotiated move-out could take, and you are not the one handling it after closing.
Rent is $1,307 a month at the median here (Census ACS 2020-2024). If your house rents well below or above that, tell us: it affects what the property is worth to an investor and therefore what we can pay.
Buying older Texas City houses
The median Texas City home was built in 1984, and 13.9% of its housing units date from before 1960, according to the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 survey. We buy them near Texas City Memorial Park, Bay Street Park and Rainbow Park, and in ZIP 77591 around Carver Park.
On a house that age we expect to find original plumbing, an electrical panel that an insurer may question, and windows and siding that have seen a few storms. We look at all of it on one visit and list what we found next to the price, so you can see how the number was reached. Owners who would rather start with the process can read who we are and how we price first.
Ask what we would pay for your Texas City house
The form asks a few questions about the house. Saying no to our number is free and ends the conversation.
We buy houses in Texas City and the next towns over
Our offers cover every part of Texas City, from the streets around Kohfeldt Elementary School and Godard Park to the homes out near the Moses Lake Boat Ramp. Owners with property in more than one town can ask about all of it at once. We also buy in La Marque, in Hitchcock and in Dickinson.
When you are ready, send the house details or call.
Questions from Texas City owners and landlords
My tenant is month-to-month. Does that change your offer?
Not much. A month-to-month tenant gives everyone more room: you can sell with the tenant staying, or end the tenancy with the notice the agreement and Texas law call for before closing. Tell us the rent, how long the tenant has been there and whether rent is current, and we price the house either way so you can compare the two options side by side.
What happens to the security deposit when you buy my rental?
It moves to us at closing. The title company credits the tenant's deposit to the buyer on the settlement statement, along with any rent you collected for days after the closing date. From then on we hold the deposit and answer to the tenant for it, so you are not left owing a refund after the house is no longer yours.
Why would a house in 77590 get a lower offer than one in 77591?
Because the sales nearby are lower. Zillow's typical value in ZIP 77590 was $183,902 in September 2026, against $238,848 in 77591, and our offer is built from recent sales close to the house. Condition still matters more than the ZIP, so a well-kept house in 77590 can draw a higher number than a worn one across the line.
The city sent me a code violation notice. Can I still sell?
Yes. Send us a copy of the notice with the house details. An open code case usually stays with the property, so the work it calls for becomes the new owner's job, and we price that work into the offer. Any fines that have become a recorded lien are paid from the sale at closing, and the title company confirms the amount first.
I own several rentals in Texas City. Will you buy them together?
We can make an offer on each house and close them on the same day or one after another. Every house is priced on its own sales and condition, so a strong property does not subsidize a weak one. Send us the list of addresses, current rents and lease end dates, and we will tell you which ones we would buy and at what price.
