Surveying In Texas:
A Unique Challenge
In the early days of Texas settlement, land was
granted under the jurisdiction of Spain, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, and the State of
Texas. Therefore, unlike most states, Texas does not have an organized, easily understood
public land system.
Each of these original granting entities had unique instructions for surveyors who
worked at different times in history. Consequently, there is still a great deal of
confusion as to how the land has been conveyed. The date of every original survey of Texas
land is extremely important as it indicates the law that governed decisions of those early
surveyors, as well as the subsequent decisions made by those who still follow and
interpret their intent years later. Therefore, it is important that 
any surveyor operating in Texas have a solid
understanding of the history of law of original governing bodies and the subsequent
retracement. These issues include many unique applications such as senior rights, the
dignity of calls, case and common law and the ownership of mineral rights and river beds.
