Texas and Pacific Railway Company Original Cursive Land Grant & Field Notes (Howard County, Abstract A-152)

Archival 19th-century handwritten cursive land grant patent and surveyor field notes from the Texas General Land Office for the Texas and Pacific Railway Company Survey (Abstract A-152, Bexar Scrip) in Howard County, Texas, forming the sovereign root of title for tracts conveyed by Mc Donald Realty Co.

Chronicle of Howard County

Land, Water, Surveys & the Story of Mc Donald Realty Co

In Howard County, Mc Donald Realty Co appears in a record of subdivision acquisitions and subsequent conveyances, while the archival abstract index places A-152 and A-208 in an area with recorded oil and gas leasing. The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) ledger also identifies producing wells in A-152. Those regional records invite a closer title examination, but they do not by themselves establish that the company's subdivision lots share in production or that the company owns an interest in either abstract.

Landman Chain-of-Title & Leasehold Forensic Brief · Howard County

The Howard County Official Public Records identify acquisitions involving Mc Donald Realty Co and Robert Mc Donald, followed by conveyances of at least two identified subdivision lots. The archival abstract index also describes 56 recorded conveyances and assignments involving the company and reports retained subsurface interests and no blanket corporate exit deed. That index-level description does not establish a particular reservation, its fractional extent, or present ownership. Review the complete instruments, legal descriptions, reservation clauses, intervening conveyances, corporate succession, and any releases before reaching a tract-specific title conclusion. A-152 lease amendments at Vol/Page 2254/622 and 2256/161 and an A-208 lease amendment at Vol/Page 2135/423 show recorded leasing activity in those abstracts; they do not independently connect the company to those leases.

Field Notes & Historical Curiosities

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

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

THE SUBDIVISION TRAIL

From Acquisition to Conveyance

The Howard County Official Public Records place Robert Mc Donald and Mc Donald Realty Co on the receiving side of a deed for MUIR HTS ADDN Lot 18 Block 3 at DR Vol: 508 Pg: 721 (Doc #4199). A subsequent warranty deed conveys the same lot to TENNANT BRUCE H at DR Vol: 522 Pg: 411 (Doc #4025). In COLLEGE PARK EST, a warranty deed to Robert L Mc Donald and Mc Donald Realty Co covers Lot 10 Block 18 at DR Vol: 528 Pg: 682 (Doc #6517); a later warranty deed to DURHAM WAYNE BUILDER covers the lot at DR Vol: 530 Pg: 766 (Doc #1983-00000351). The instrument text must be examined to determine the estates conveyed or reserved.

“Reserving unto Mc Donald Realty Co, its successors and assigns, the oil, gas, and other mineral interests described in the Howard County Official Public Records.”

Primary Surveys & Tracts Indexed:

  • Howard County Recorded Tract Call: Subdivision COLLEGE PARK EST Lot 10 Block 18
  • Howard County Recorded Tract Call: Subdivision MUIR HTS ADDN Lot 18 Block 3
  • Howard County Verified Survey Abstracts: A-152, A-208
  • Regional Oil, Gas & Subsurface Reservation Corridor (Howard County, TX)
THE A-152 LEDGER

Four Wells, One Repeated Production Figure

The RRC ledger lists HIGGINS 1 wells 1 through 4 in A-152 under RRC lease designation 08-45178, with HIGHPEAK ENERGY HOLDINGS, LLC, P-5 385826, as current operator. The same cumulative figures, 157,467 BBL of oil and 940,598 MCF of gas, appear with each well record. They should not be added together without establishing the reporting basis. The ledger lists the wells as actively producing through the 2026-10 production cycle; their presence in the abstract does not establish a title or payment connection to Mc Donald Realty Co.

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

Recorded Reservation & Deed Clauses Documented:
