Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

I Have been leaving in a house for the past 7 years and paying the taxes I have paid $9000 in taxes. The owner died about 7 years ago and her son who is in jail did not want to lose the house so we made an agreement that I would live in the house as long as i paid the taxes. He sent me a letter that said the house was going to be auction off and he thought the house was paid for how do I file a lien on the house to get my money back?
