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

A long record of conveyances and retained interests

The Angelina County Official Public Records index 115 instruments involving conveyances and retained subsurface interests by J & S Development Inc. The archival abstract index identifies no blanket corporate exit deed. Each instrument still requires examination of its granting and reservation language, legal description, and subsequent conveyances before a surviving interest can be identified.

“تی 19562 LVOL 469 PACE 392. RIGHT-OF-WAY DEED [ VOL 7 PACE 504 THE STATE OF TEXAS COUNTY OF ANGELINA X X K”

Primary Surveys & Tracts Indexed:

  • Angelina County Verified Survey Abstracts: A-10, A-450, A-480, A-5, A-585, A-96
  • Regional Oil, Gas & Subsurface Reservation Corridor (Angelina County, TX)
REGIONAL PRODUCTION

Haynesville gas beyond the indexed tracts

The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) ledger lists TITAN GAS UNIT well 2HB, API 42-005-30423, in A-293 with cumulative gas production of 29,338,910 MCF. BPX OPERATING COMPANY is listed as current operator under P-5 085408, and the RRC lease ID is 06-286873. This regional well does not by itself establish production from a J & S Development Inc. tract or that any company interest is held by production.
