Field Notes & Historical Curiosities

Why the Rusk County Land Records Look the Way They Do Today

Every old subdivision map and deed book in Rusk County is a record of early surveying, local development, and state property law.

THE CORPORATE TRAIL

An inactive operator and an unfinished title inquiry

The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) ledger lists Templeton Energy, Inc. under Form P-5 number 841380 as inactive with a delinquent P-5. Its officers included J C Templeton, chairman and president, and vice presidents Robert J. Berteau and R.A. Oxenreiter. The county index reports no blanket corporate exit deeds among the identified instruments, but that alone does not prove that the company or its successors still own minerals.

“bject to the following terms, conditions and reservations, to wit: Assignor EXCEPTS and RESERVES unto itself, its successors and assigns, an undivided eleven and one quarter percent (11.25%) over- riding royalty interest payable out of prod”

THE A-1 LEAD

A well in the same survey

The RRC ledger identifies the Cecil Bunn No. 1, API 42-401-35361, in Rusk County's A-1 survey, with cumulative production of 84 BBL of oil and 705 MCF of gas. Its entry reports a last production cycle of 2026-10 while also labeling the well inactive, a status that requires reconciliation. A shared survey abstract does not establish that the well penetrates a Templeton tract or pays a Templeton interest.

“Recorded in the Official Public Records of Rusk County, TX.”

Express Oil, Gas, Royalty & Mineral Reservations Across 26 Recorded Rusk County Instruments
