day" in Uano C ounty and in
every other county in Texas.
Foreclosure notices filled the
the bulletin board on the fhat
floor of the courthouse, the
official posting site for legal
notices. With the number of
foreclosure notices increasing
in recent years, a veteran of

yesterday, “This reminds me

Year will see a decrease in
foreclosure activity and a
return to a bare bulletin board
at the courthouse.
