Can the lien against my property be released when the the original owner apparently with a tax debt died.?
Assuming you are talking about an IRS lien, then yes. If you were not liable for the taxes, then the lien should not be on your property. The first thing to determine is whether or not the lien actually attached to your property. If the previous owner of the house owned the house at the time the lien was filed, then the lien probably legally attached to the house. If this is the case, this is something you should take up with the title company that did the title work when you purchased the house. More common is that the IRS filed a lien and the address they had on record was still his old house (your house). Just because the lien had that address on it doesn't mean you have a lien on your house. If the property wasn't his, then it did not legally attach. If a title company still has issues with this (if you are trying to sell your house), you may need to get a Certificate of Non-Attachment from the IRS to show them that it's not attached.

How do you get your lien paid when a homeowner sells his house?
The title company handling escrow and the documents should see the lien, which should be recorded, when they do the title search. When the sale goes through, the amount of the lien will be included in the settlement. If there will not be enough money, the debtor should be required to pay the lien and present a paid receipt for it. Possibly you could do a little research if you are aware of the sale of the house and call the title company to be certain that the lien has been found.
What should you do if a credit card company put a lien on my house in California?
If the lien is attached to a valid debt, the only recourse the debtor has is to pay the amount of the lien. If the judgment debtor believes the lien to be faulty he or she has the legal right to file suit to have the lien removed from the encumbered property.

Can a lien be placed against a house in Texas for a car that was purchased in California and then repossessed in Texas?
Yes. The creditor can sue the debtor in Texas and use a judgment award to place a lien against property belonging to the debtor. I'm not a lawyer and would encourage you to call one. But I believe the previous answer is incomplete. If you reside in Texas, and you LIVE in the home in question, a judgment award cannot really be used against that property. If they put a lien on the house, all you need to do is claim "homestead exemption" and tell the creditor to remove the lien. They are required to do that. If they refuse, you can sue them for damages. The creditor can place a lien on OTHER property that you own (i.e. not your primary residence). Or any property that you inherit.
