To protect landowner privacy and chain-of-title integrity, individual Net Revenue Interest (NRI) decimals, living heirship trees, unredacted lease expiration schedules, and complete sovereignty-to-present abstract runsheets are withheld from public display and quoted on demand based on page volume, instrument count, and unit value.
Every old subdivision map and deed book in Jasper County is a record of early surveying, local development, and state property law.
The Jasper County Official Public Records index 31 conveyances and assignments involving Ballard and various Jasper County grantees. The schedule reports retained subsurface interests and no blanket corporate exit deed. That is a reason to investigate the individual instruments, not proof that any particular mineral interest remains vested in Ballard.
“Reserving unto Ballard Exploration Company Inc., its successors and assigns, the oil, gas, and other mineral interests described in the Jasper County Official Public Records.”
Primary Surveys & Tracts Indexed:
The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) ledger lists Ballard as current operator of the Harris County Channelview Townsite "B" gas lease, RRC lease ID 03-171232, with cumulative production of 29,436,080 MCF. It also lists Ballard as current operator of West Channelview Townsite, RRC lease ID 03-177910, with 28,670,710 MCF. These Harris County entries do not establish production or title in Jasper County.
“Recorded in the Official Public Records of Jasper County, TX.”
