03 · How to pull the records

Pulling the records

01
Start with the county clerk — the online portal or the recording desk. Deeds, leases, and assignments are filed there by recording date.
02
For mineral ownership, the county appraisal district carries mineral accounts; the Railroad Commission carries well and lease records.
03
Older chains and runsheets live at the local title or abstract plant. Online aggregators mirror the index for convenience; coverage dates vary, so check each source's span.
04
If any acreage traces to Permanent School Fund or Relinquishment Act land — or to University Lands (PUF) — the state holds that mineral lease record, not the county.

Keep the deal documents organized

Scout doesn't run title — that stays with you and your title shop. Once you've pulled the records, Scout keeps the resulting documents (leases, deeds, curative, W-9s) organized against each deal.
