About

Texas General Land Office (TxGLO) public GIS service. Oil & gas: active and inactive leases with 42-field records (lease number, status, primary-term and effective dates, original/current gross/net acres, lessee, lease type, royalty rates for oil/gas/sulphur, depth restrictions, field name, county, and polygon geometry), plus oil & gas units (active and inactive), Permanent School Fund Lands (~21.9K), miscellaneous easements (~5.9K, no county column), offshore structures (~3.4K), lease-sale nominated tracts (~56), and hard minerals (~130). Coastal, environmental, and land: upland surface leases (~1.6K), coastal lease points (~9.2K) and polygons, state submerged tracts (~11K), public beach & bay access (~607), state agency lands, navigation districts, priority protection habitat areas, Environmental Sensitivity Index shoreline (~48K lines), in-situ burn exclusion areas, plus boundary overlays (Coastal Zone, Three Marine League / Three Nautical Mile lines, dispersant pre-approval zone). 23 ArcGIS FeatureServers in total, no auth. Date columns are MM/DD/YYYY strings, so date filters are applied client-side. ORIGINAL_LESSEE is the original lessee, not the current operator. Counties always returned in Title Case. The getExpiringLeases method ranks active leases by days until primary-term expiry, useful as an acquisition-signal feed for state-lands.
