Texas Land Survey Converter
Texas uses the Original Texas Land Survey (OTLS) system: Abstract, Block & Section, and Survey-name descriptions across all 254 counties. Paste any TX legal description for a GPS centroid and polygon boundary, free. Then pull the RRC wells, GLO leases, and production on that tract.
The Three Texas Legal Description Shapes
Township America's parser handles every TX legal description convention you'll see in a deed, lease, or RRC filing.
Abstract-only
East TX (Piney Woods) and Coastal Bend are dominated by abstract-only descriptions.
A-123 Reeves County, TX Block & Section
West Texas O&G country. Permian Basin counties use Block + Section keyed to T&P, GC&SF, and H&TC surveys.
Block 5, Sec 14, T&P RR Co. Survey, Reeves Survey-name
South Texas leagues and labors: Spanish/Mexican-era grants identified by the original surveyor's name.
