delinquite taxes no owner

I have a house in Texas that has fallin thru the cracks the tax man doen’t even know about it, Taxes are about 10k with no living relitive,no will,no trust,no power of attorney,no siblings.
If let the tax man know about it it will be auctioned but, my question is,can I pay the taxes and wait for the right to redimption or do I have to wait for the auction.
