I inherited mineral interests in Texas but I’m having a hard time knowing how to look up information based on 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 a link to a post on the forum that I found. It has some useful information. Let me know if this helps.

I’m having trouble correlating the deed property descriptions to the royalty receipts I receive. A forum member showed me how to find well records (both current and historic) in Oklahoma, and this seems to answer my questions for Oklahoma. What do the other states have similar type databases available?

Thank you.
