My mother asked someone if the state can foreclose on her house since she is almost 1 year late paying her personal property tax and she was told that they wont but someone can get a sales tax certificate if that is done in Tx. Can someone tell me what that means and if that is done in the state of Texas?

The county tax district WILL take your mom's home if she doesn't pay her property taxes. TX doesn't have personal property taxes but does have real property taxes and will take the property if the taxes are unpaid.
A sales tax certificate is a totally unrelated item and has nothing to do with real estate taxes whatsoever. Whoever told your mother that was blowing smoke.

A sales tax certificate is obtained from the State Comptroller's office and must be displayed when you have sales. It has nothing to do with personal property tax. Personal property tax is tax you pay on personal possessions like trailers etc. Property tax you pay on your property and you pay it to the county and school district. You can get a homestead exemption which will lower your property taxes a bit on your home only and you have to apply for it, I think at the appraisal district. When your property tax gets in arrears, your case gets turned over to attorney's and they will try to collect from you. If you still do not pay(and now you will also owe attorneys' fees along with late fees) they can foreclose on your house and actually sell it from the courthouse steps. You would do well to contact them and try to set up payments before it progresses that far. Once they are in the process of forclosure, things get more difficult. Other than the state and school district, the only other entity that can take your homestead in Texas is the IRS.

If the vendor has a TN nexus, they need to acquire the TN income tax should you shouldn't have a TN exemption certificates. You can both get the TN exemption certificates or take a credit score for the TN tax for your subsequent GA income tax go back, nevertheless on the way to be constrained to the lesser of the TN tax paid or what GA might have accumulated. Alternatively have the items shipped in your GA deal with and them reship them to the TN seller.
