Can I sell a house in foreclosure in Texas?

Can I sell after a notice of sale is posted?

Usually yes. Posting a notice does not transfer ownership, so a sale that closes before the foreclosure sale can pay off the loan. Ask the lender for a payoff quote early.

Does the lender have to agree?

Not if the sale pays the loan in full. If it doesn't, the lender must approve a short sale.
