While a lienholder ordinarily may pursue either a judicial or non-judicial action to foreclose on a real property lien, see id. at 927, a home equity lien requires a court order for foreclosure through either a judicial foreclosure action or a judicial proceeding under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 736, Curry v. Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC, No. H-15-3089, 2016 WL 3920375, at *2 (S.D. Tex. July 14, 2016); but see Deutsche Bank Nat.

A promissory note is a negotiable instrument governed by Article Three of the Uniform Commercial Code.21 Section 3.205(b) of the Texas Business and Commerce Code provides: If an endorsement is made by the holder of an instrument and it is not a special endorsement [payable to an identified person], it is a ‘blank endorsement.’ When indorsed in blank, an instrument becomes payable to bearer and may be negotiated by transfer of possession alone until specially indorsed.22 16 Aff. of Karen Finnegan, Ex.
