Tex. Local Gov't Code Section 112.053
Estray Account

(a)

If a notice of an estray is filed with the county clerk, the clerk shall keep an estray account on the debit side of the county finance ledger. The estray account must show the date of the notice, the name of the person who reported the estray, and a brief description of the animal. The clerk shall leave the amount of the charge blank until the sheriff files an account of the sale of the estray.

(b)

When the account of the sale is filed, the county clerk shall enter the net amount due to the county from the sale in the blank in the estray account. When the county treasurer’s receipt is presented to the clerk, indicating the amount paid into the county treasury because of the sale, the clerk shall enter that amount on the credit side of the estray account, showing the date, the name of the person paying, the amount paid, and a brief description of the animal. The clerk shall then charge that amount on the debit side of the county treasurer’s account.
