Re: Foreclosure
A foreclosure in CA will probably not impact your ownership of the home in Texas unless the lender on the Texas home is allowed (under the terms of the mortgage) to accelerate the note if you suffer a foreclosure. Check your documents and check with a Texas lawyer.
Also, a forecolsure will show on your credit. Sell it or try to get a lender-approved short sale. Avoid foreclosure if possible.
