In Norris v. Harry Hott & Assocs., Inc., 612 S.W.2d 630 (Tex. Civ. App. --Dallas 1981, no writ), when the State filed its tax foreclosure suit, two parties--Hott and Runnymead--each had a deed in their favor to the land in question on file in the deed records of Dallas County. Id. at 631. While Runnymead was made a party in the State's tax suit, Hott was not. Id. at 632. Observing that a tax foreclosure suit must include the record owner and all parties owning or claiming any interest in the property, the Dallas Court of Appeals held that the State's foreclosure judgment remained valid as to Runnymead (the party named in the tax suit), but did not bind Hott (the party not named in the tax suit). Id. at 632.
