Surveying · R.P.L.S. 5550
A survey is only worth what it can withstand. Ours are built from the deed, the county record, the previous surveyor's notes, and what's actually standing in the pasture — then sealed by a Registered Professional Land Surveyor who has to answer for it.
What we do
Where your property actually ends, established from the deed, the record, and what's on the ground — then monumented and documented so it holds up.
When you need itBuying or selling, splitting a tract, settling a fence line, or before you build anything near a line.
Well locations, pad sites, pipeline routes, unit boundaries, and lease work for operators across North Texas.
When you need itPermitting a well, laying pipe, or proving up a unit.
Subdivision plats prepared to the standards of the city or county reviewing them, with the engineering behind them done in the same office.
When you need itDividing land into lots, or any time a municipality requires a recorded plat.
Easement and ROW research for roads, utilities, and pipelines — including the deed and record work behind it.
When you need itAcquiring an easement, or figuring out what one you inherited actually covers.
Grade, offset, and layout staking so the crew builds what the plan says.
When you need itOnce the design is approved and the dirt work starts.
Topographic and planimetric mapping produced for the design work that follows, not as a standalone deliverable nobody uses.
When you need itBefore site design, drainage studies, or roadway layout.
RTK and static GPS control for large tracts, remote sites, and anywhere running a traverse would take a week.
When you need itBig acreage, rough country, or work that needs to tie to a known coordinate system.
Oil and gas
A good share of what leaves this office goes to oil and gas operators working the Barnett and the surrounding plays. It's deadline work, and the paperwork has to be right the first time or the permit sits.
The advantage
Four generations of Montague County surveyors have handed their records to this office — back through Hardy Seay, B. W. Karsteters, and M. F. Leonard into the 1930s. On a boundary question, starting from a predecessor's field notes beats starting from scratch every time.
