    II. Out-Conveyances, Plats & Recorded Deed Reservations

    As Snyder Realty, Inc. platted and conveyed individual lots, farm tracts, and rights-of-way out of its parent holdings in Harrison County, deeds recorded in the county clerk's office included written reservations and exceptions: 100% mineral estate severance across rural residential and Veterans Land Board tracts ('Grantor excepts and reserves from this conveyance all oil, gas and other minerals situated under the tract').

    Under TX property law, severed mineral estates, royalty interests, road strips, and easements created by written deed reservation remain in the chain of title long after the original land company finishes selling its surface lots.

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

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

Regional Land History · Surveying & Settlement

How Early Corporate Groups Shaped the Modern Map

From the 1890s through the 1970s, state-chartered townsite, colonization, irrigation, railway, and subdivision corporations laid out the road alignments, utility corridors, and tract boundaries that define the county today. When conveying individual lots or farm parcels, these corporations often reserved road strips, pipeline and utility rights-of-way in gross, or underground mineral estates.

“Long after a nineteenth- or mid-twentieth-century land corporation winds down its sales office, its recorded survey lines and deed reservations remain permanently etched in the county land records.”

Primary Surveys & Tracts Indexed:

  • Elizabeth Carroll Survey, Abstract 135, Harrison County, Texas (Active Comstock Oil & Gas Drilling & 2 District Court Receiverships)
  • Samuel Murphy Survey, Abstract 15, Harrison County, Texas
Archival Deed & Map Notes · Chain of Title

Why Historical Corporate Reservations Endure in County Records

Under property and title law, a severed mineral estate, royalty interest, fee strip, or easement in gross created by express reservation in a recorded deed does not vanish when the corporate grantor later becomes inactive or dissolves. Instead, those rights pass by statute to the corporation's lawful successors or statutory trustees.

“Every Volume-and-Page citation in the county clerk's vault is a permanent public record.”

Recorded Reservation & Deed Clauses Documented:

  • 100% mineral estate severance across rural residential and Veterans Land Board tracts ('Grantor excepts and reserves from this conveyance all oil, gas and other minerals situated under the tract')
  • Zero-Exit-Deed status (0 mineral exit deeds)
