Texas General Land Office Original Land Grant Patent ยท Abstract A-343 (Nacogdoches Scrip)

Houston Tap and Brazoria Railroad Company Original Cursive Land Grant & Field Notes (Angelina County, Abstract A-343)

Archival 19th-century handwritten cursive land grant patent and surveyor field notes from the Texas General Land Office for the Houston Tap and Brazoria Railroad Company Survey (Abstract A-343, Nacogdoches Scrip) in Angelina County, Texas, forming the sovereign root of title for tracts conveyed by First State Corp.

Chronicle of Angelina County

Land, Water, Surveys & the Story of First State Corp

The Angelina County Official Public Records trace First State Corp through parent acquisition and a schedule of 20 recorded conveyances and retained subsurface interests. The archival abstract index identifies A-343, A-40 and A-96 as the surveys for further title work. Their recorded leasing history points to a mineral corridor that merits examination instrument by instrument, rather than an assumption that the corporation conveyed every interest it acquired.

The archival abstract index identifies A-343, A-40 and A-96 for review. The Angelina County Official Public Records describe parent vesting into First State Corp and a 20-instrument out-conveyance and reservation schedule, but the index alone does not establish present ownership, net mineral acreage, or the effect of any particular reservation. The lease summaries report no active leases held by production in these abstracts. That summary should be tested against the actual leases, amendments, pooling instruments, well locations, production history and current title before any conclusion about a specific tract. For A-343, the index includes El Paso E&P Company LP memo of lease 2008-00243463 and Brazos Gas Company LLC memo of lease 2008-00243395. For A-40, it includes KEN-TEX ENERGY CORPORATION memo of lease 2008-240821. For A-96, it lists HARDING COMPANY lease 2008-240174 twice; the duplicate entry should not be treated as proof of two distinct instruments.

Field Notes & Historical Curiosities

Why the Angelina County Land Records Look the Way They Do Today

Every old subdivision map and deed book in Angelina County is a record of early surveying, local development, and state property law.

THE RESERVATION TRAIL

Twenty instruments, no blanket exit deed

The Angelina County Official Public Records index 20 First State Corp instruments involving conveyances and retained subsurface interests, with no blanket corporate exit deed identified in that schedule. The index does not establish what remains in corporate ownership. Each conveyance and reservation must be examined against the parent vesting and the land actually described.

“IN, TEXAS, its successors and assigns, and to the General Public, a perpetual easement for vehicular, animal and all other traffic on, over and across pro- perty”

Primary Surveys & Tracts Indexed:

  • Angelina County Verified Survey Abstracts: A-343, A-40, A-96
  • Regional Oil, Gas & Subsurface Reservation Corridor (Angelina County, TX)
THE OFFSET WELL

A well in the survey, a question for title

The RRC ledger places the MCLEAN ESTATE No. 1 well, API 42-005-30145, in the BLUFORD MITCHELL A-343 survey. Its RRC lease ID is 06-105461, and the ledger lists a last production cycle of October 2016 and cumulative production of 0 BBL oil and 0 MCF gas. The well's survey location alone does not establish that it produced from First State Corp acreage or held any particular lease.

“Recorded in the Official Public Records of Angelina County, TX.”

Recorded Reservation & Deed Clauses Documented:

  • Express Oil, Gas, Royalty & Mineral Reservations Across 20 Recorded Angelina County Instruments
  • Retained Subsurface Ingress/Egress & Leasehold Rights with Zero Blanket Corporate Liquidation Deeds
