Surplus Property Public Auctions

The state of Texas auction is conducted quarterly by a private auction company at the:
Travis County Exposition Center
7311 Decker Lane
Austin, Texas

Visit the Auctioneer’s Internet Site for upcoming auction dates along with auction terms and conditions.

Since it is not economically feasible for TxDOT to bring vehicles and equipment in from around the state to a central auction site, TxDOT sells their auction units through a slide presentation. The auctioneer displays a digital photo of the front and rear view of the vehicle or equipment item to be sold, starts the bidding process, and sells the item to the highest bidder. This process is repeated until all items have been sold.

Generally two to three weeks before the scheduled auction date, interested buyers can visit the Auctioneer’s Internet Site to view TxDOT vehicles and equipment that will be sold the day of the auction.

All potential bidders are strongly encouraged to personally examine the vehicle(s) or equipment item(s) they may be interested in purchasing prior to the scheduled auction.

Please call the District Equipment Administrator (as shown on the auctioneer's internet site under TxDOT Vehicles) to arrange a date and time to examine auction vehicles and equipment items located in each district.

The district's preferred viewing times for auction vehicles and equipment begins two weeks prior to the auction on Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Please note that in the future the preferred viewing times may become mandatory.

If you are interested in receiving auction pamphlets or brochures on a regular basis, you can contact the auctioneer and request to be placed on their mailing list.

You must pay in cash, cashier's check, certified check, bank or postal money order or checks with ORIGINAL Bank Letter of Guarantee.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS ARE ALLOWED.
