By virtue of execution issued by the clerk of the [designation] Court of [county] County, Texas, which was delivered to me as [Sheriff/Constable] of [county] County, Texas, I was commanded to seize and sell the property of Defendant, [name of defendant].

The real property hereinafter described was pointed out to me as being subject to sale under execution.

On [date], at [time] [a.m./p.m.], I levied on all the estate, right, title, claim, and interest that Defendant had in the premises hereafter described. On the first Tuesday of [month], [date], between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., as prescribed by law, I did sell the property at the [designation] courthouse in [city], Texas, having first given public notice of the authority under which the sale was to be made, the time of levy, the time and place of sale, and a description of the property that was to be sold.

At the sale, the property was sold to the highest bidder, [name of buyer], for the sum of [amount] dollars ($[amount]) subject, however, to the superior lien indebtedness on the prop­erty.

Therefore, in consideration of the property in the judgment and execution and of the payment of the sum of [amount] dollars ($[amount]), I, [name], [Sheriff/Constable] of [county] County, Texas, do grant, sell, and convey to [name of buyer] all the estate, right, title, interest, and claim that Defendant had on [date], or at any time afterwards, in and to the prop­erty described in the execution, and further described as follows: [legal description].

To have and to hold the above-described property unto [name of buyer], [his/her/its] heirs and assigns, forever, as fully and absolutely as I can convey.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my hand this [date].
