I inherited mineral interests in Texas but I’m having a HARD TIME knowing how to look-up information based the legal description I received. I’ve been able to look-up oil permit and APIs in New Mexico and Oklahoma using SECTION, TOWNSHIP AND RANGE, but the legal descriptions for Texas are much different and I don’t know which search tool to use to get oil permit, API and completion information.
Here are two examples of legal descriptions I’m trying to decipher:
CROSBY COUNTY E/2 = 1/4, N/2 SW/4 = 1/8 mineral interest in N/2 SW/4 Section 75 Block 8, H&GN Ry. Cert. 12-2382
GARZA COUNTY 1/4 mineral interest SW/4 Section 63, Block 8 H&GN Ry., 160 acres
Here’s link to a post on the forum that I found. It has some useful information. Let me know if this helps.
Thank you.
