Land, Water, Surveys & the Story of H. F. S. Land Co.

    I. Founding & Land Assembly by H. F. S. Land Co.

    Organized by South-Central Texas Land Incorporators (1970s-1980s Active Grantor Era), H. F. S. Land Co. assembled parent acreage, survey tracts, and rights-of-way across Gonzales County (TX), recorded in the county clerk's books at Gonzales County Deed Records (56 Recorded Rural Tract & Subdivision Deeds).

    Primary lands surveyed and indexed to the company include Gonzales County Surveys A-15, A-25, A-155, A-162, A-238, and A-418, laid out for regional townsite, agricultural, lakeside, or oil and gas development.

  2. Subdivision & Conveyance Era Gonzales County Deed Records · Gonzales County Deed Records (56 Recorded Rural Tract & Subdivision Deeds)

    II. Out-Conveyances, Plats & Recorded Deed Reservations

    As H. F. S. Land Co. platted and conveyed individual lots, farm tracts, and rights-of-way out of its parent holdings in Gonzales County, deeds recorded in the county clerk's office included written reservations and exceptions: Reserved Oil, Gas & Mineral Estates Across 56 Gonzales County Deeds.

    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.
