Original grantee
J A Denson's name on the Rains County index reflects the standard 19th-century Texas pattern: a certificate, headright, bounty, donation, or scrip, located against open land and patented once the GLO accepted the field notes. The GLO indexes it as Nacogdoches 3rd file 001222. The GLO patent file remains the controlling root document for any chain of title that runs through J A Denson.
Oil & gas activity
No recent leasing or permitting activity on A-57 in the last five years, though the abstract carries 1 historical drilling permits (last in 1994). 2 wells sit on the polygon, 2 plugged and abandoned, operated by ARKLA EXPL, CONTINENTAL OPERATING.
Source authority
