For land near Midland, treat mineral ownership, oil-and-gas activity and surface use as separate due-diligence questions. A Railroad Commission well or pipeline map can help you locate records to investigate, but it does not establish who owns a mineral interest or where a feature lies on the ground. Start with the tract's legal description and survey, then have a title company or Texas real-estate attorney review the recorded chain of title and the title commitment for the specific property.
Midland County's Official Public Records include deeds, mineral deeds and oil-and-gas leases. The County's online search supports party, subdivision, document-type and document-number queries, with index-only and full-text options. The Texas General Land Office explains that mineral-title ownership requires examining the deed and lease records affecting the claim; its original land-grant files do not replace the later conveyance records kept with the County Clerk. Search results are a starting point, not a title opinion: related documents, older reservations, assignments, amendments and releases may matter. Ask the title professional which records and exceptions remain unresolved.
Use the Railroad Commission of Texas Public GIS Viewer to screen mapped wells and pipelines, then follow a relevant feature into the associated well or regulatory record. The Commission says its viewer is updated nightly, but it also warns that map data is informational, approximate and not an authoritative public record, survey or legal determination. Confirm material locations and rights using the survey, recorded easements, title documents and qualified professionals. Call 811 before excavation.
If you plan to divide or develop acreage, establish whether the tract is inside Midland city limits, in the City's ETJ or in unincorporated Midland County. Midland County says City subdivision rules apply in the ETJ and County rules apply outside it, subject to statutory exceptions. The County's current Subdivision Regulations page lists an executed version dated September 21, 2026; request current requirements from the responsible authority and a Texas surveyor or engineer. Use the Land Readiness Passport to track documents, sources, dates and unanswered questions. It organizes research; it does not determine ownership, legal rights or project approval.

No. Railroad Commission maps and well files describe regulatory and operational records. They are not a mineral-title determination. The Texas General Land Office says mineral ownership requires examining the deed and lease records affecting the claim; have a title professional or Texas real-estate attorney review the parcel's chain of title.
Start with Midland County's Official Records Search and the County Clerk's Official Public Records information. Search by the parties and tract identifiers available to you, and ask the title company or attorney to interpret the complete chain rather than relying on a single document or search result.
Do not use a tax account or appraisal map as a mineral-title opinion. Review the recorded instruments and title commitment with a qualified title professional or attorney to determine which interests are covered and what remains unresolved.
No. The Commission says its map data is approximate and may not be suitable for legal, engineering or surveying purposes. Use it as an initial screen, then verify the tract and any material features with recorded documents and qualified professionals. Call 811 before excavation.
