How these are sold

Struck-off property: nobody bid at the sheriff's sale, so the taxing units own it in trust and accept written offers. Published by Perdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins & Mott, L.L.P., for the Texas counties, school districts and cities that hold the property in trust.

Read the list's own instructions: most ask for a written offer on their bid form, and some want a no-taxes-due certificate from the county tax office.
Research the property yourself: resales are 'as is' with no warranty, title insurance or survey, and later taxes may be owed on top of the offer.
The taxing units (often a school board) vote on offers; an offer below the minimum bid can be accepted but needs every unit's approval.
If accepted, pay within the deadline on the list; you receive a resale or sheriff's deed. If the original sale's redemption period has not ended, the old owner can still redeem.

Texas Tax Code § 34.05 lets the taxing unit that holds struck-off property resell it by private sale or public auction.

The minimum bid shown is the amount due at the original sale; the list may also show the value at the time of the judgment.

A low minimum bid is not a bargain by itself: liens are usually paid off by the owner (you earn interest, not the property), auctions are bid up, and cheap parcels are often small, landlocked or unbuildable. Read the county's terms and check title before you bid.
