This survey on one page to print, with its wells and a scale.

This does not tell you who owns the minerals

A survey boundary, a well or a permit on this land says nothing about who owns the minerals under it, or in what share. Your deed does, and the county clerk keeps the deeds. Where to find them.

About the boundary

Survey shapes come from the Railroad Commission survey layer, converted from its NAD27 coordinates to the coordinates the well points and the map use. They are close, not surveyed: a well near a boundary may belong on the other side of the line. A survey boundary or nearby well does not establish ownership. Crossing entries compare surface and bottom-hole endpoints; they are not surveyed lateral paths.

What is recorded on A-796

Railroad Commission wells, leases and permits tied to this abstract. Dates and names are as the state publishes them.

Wells the Railroad Commission ties to A-796: either the operator’s filing names the abstract, or the well’s mapped point falls inside the survey shape. A well here may produce from a unit that takes in other land too.

County deed records

Ask the Smith County Clerk

We have not written up Smith County’s deed records yet. The county clerk keeps the deed records for land in the county. You can call, write or visit, and the office can tell you what is online and what a copy costs.

The deed is what shows who received the minerals. A map of the land, like the one on this page, does not.

Volume and page is the address of a deed in the county’s books.

What to ask the clerk for

  • The deed that describes this land, by its recording number: the volume and page, or the instrument number.
  • The grantor and grantee index for the names on your family's deeds, so you can find the later deeds too.
  • Copies of any mineral deeds, royalty deeds or probate records that mention the land.

Take this with you
