How do I find the activity on the following described land:
“A Part of Sections 87 and 88 of the George H. Paul Subdivision of the Driscoll Ranch” I believe that this is within the Andres de la Fuente known as “Puenticitas” original Grant shown as State Abstract 111?
I can find A-111 but this is clearly a subset of that and should be 200.69 acres.

Probably on old failed townsite in South Texas, of which there are many. See the article. Most of these have been absorbed within ranches, and is probably in A-111 somewhere.

Wade, I read that article again and I now believe it is the NW portion of Abstract 111. Thank you.
