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

Thirty-Seven Instruments, No Blanket Exit

The Angelina County Official Public Records index 37 instruments under OCR Body Key 1989_2682 involving conveyances and retained subsurface interests of Hodges Lovejoy Inc. The absence of an identified blanket corporate exit deed makes each conveyance and its reservation language important to reconstructing the remaining estate.

“and the same are hereby TRANSFERRED AND ASSIGNED to said DIBOLL STATE BANK, SAVE AND EXCEPT, and there is hereby reserved unto Grantors, their heirs and assigns, all oil, gas, liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons owned by Grantors herein, in and”

GAS IN THE REGION

A Strong Ledger, an Unproven Connection

The RRC ledger reports cumulative gas production of 29,338,910 MCF for TITAN GAS UNIT well 2HB, API 42-005-30423, in A-293, and 27,708,253 MCF for DRACOREX GAS UNIT well 2H, API 42-005-30426, in A-314. Both are listed as active producing through the 2026-10 production cycle. Their listed abstracts differ from A-52 and A-88, so production alone does not establish a connection to Hodges Lovejoy Inc.
