DG Enterprises v. Cornelius

An order issuing a tax deed is not void and subject to collateral attack because of failure to include address and phone number of county clerk in publication and certified mail take notices that were required to be sent to the delinquent owner prior to the issuance of the tax deed. Due process standards were not violated where certified mail notices to the owner were returned unclaimed. Whether the unclaimed notices included address and phone number of county clerk has nothing to do with whether notices were reasonably calculated to reach respondent. Alternative relief may be available to estate of deceased former owner of properly under indemnity provisions of Tax Code. (GARMAN, FREEMAN, KILBRIDE, KARMEIER, BURKE, and THEIS, concurring.)
