Just received information that my great grandmother was part owner (family inheritance) to over 200 acres of land in East Texas and I want to know where to start researching the family inheritance.
Sherry, you will need to go to the County Clerk’s Office of the County where the 200 acres is located. Take any information you have as to the exact location of the acreage/minerals (Abstract #, Section #, Block # and/or Survey name). Also, the folks at some of the County Clerk’s offices are helpful and some are not. Good luck with your search.
What is the legal description of the property? Members here can chime in and provide insight as to what’s going on with your land.
Property IDs: 22126 map id-42.49, 22157 map id-J11-42, 22124 map id-42- & 1985 map J11-42. Not sure if this is what I have.
All are located in Linden, Texas.
Your parcel is highlighted in blue. Not much going on in terms of development. Do you intend to hire a landman, or do the research yourself?
It is being done already. Thanks
