About this source

Texas General Land Office state lands. No auth. O&G: searchActiveLeases (~7.3K) ⭐ royalties+primary-term dates, getExpiringLeases ⭐ acquisition feed, searchInactiveLeases (~12K), getLeaseDetail, searchLeaseUnits, searchPSFLands (~21.9K), searchEasements, searchOffshoreStructures, getNominatedTracts. Coastal/land: searchUplandLeases, searchSubmergedTracts (~11K), searchBeachAccess, searchCoastalLeases (~9.2K), searchStateAgencyLands, searchNavigationDistricts, searchPriorityHabitatAreas, searchEsiShoreline (~48K lines), searchInSituBurnExclusion + boundary getters (Coastal Zone, 3-league/3-mile lines, Dispersant Zone, lease polygons). getServiceInfo for schemas. Quirks: MM/DD/YYYY string dates; most non-lease layers have no COUNTY column; ESI/boundary layers return line geometry.
