We recently found out that we have rights in Tyler County, but they’re asking for the description which we don’t have. What is the best way to find the description?
How did you find that you have rights? Who told you? If it is a landman, he might have more information. There is a long complicated way to work this out but you would need to know your family history back a few generations.

The best way would depend on what information you do have. I’d start with a Grantee search for any family members names associated with it. A Grantor search might also provide any leases or other conveyances that those family members have done.
Good idea, but the poster needs to know, for example, which side of the family might have been the original owner. And remember Land Grants which might be the original source. If the minerals have been severed, as this sounds like, the deed severing them is very important. The Land Books could be helpful too. (Tyler has them online unlike some counties). And remember the poster might not know how to find the Tyler County documents website. This, as I said, is complicated. But possible!
