Back taxes owed on property, how can I purchase?

What is the name of your state? Texas

Situation: My aunt and her now ex-husband owned 4 acres of land together. She signed a quit claim deed for him to file over 2yrs ago. Unfortunately, ex did not file & she has now been served with papers stating she owed in back taxes for last year. She does not want anything to do with the property & does not know where ex-husband is. Ex-husband is obviously still on paper work. In short, if I am interested in purchasing the property how would I legally go about doing this? I had heard that it is possible to pay only the back taxes owed to purchase. Not sure if ex-husband will pay or not. No home is on land & no occupants, only various items of his stored there. I am not considering to create bad blood, just interested in property & thought if the general public was given the opportunity to purchase for back taxes owed it may as well be me! Thanks for any & all input!
