Chronicle of Gonzales County

Land, Water, Surveys & the Story of Centaur Petroleum Corporation

In the William Robertson League of Gonzales County, the archival abstract index traces a 1961 oil lease assignment on 25 acres in A-396 from Walker Webb Jr. to Centaur Petroleum Corporation, recorded at Vol. 327, Page 325 (Doc #50209). The following year, Centaur assigned a lease covering that tract and 85 acres in the Jean Humphries League to Carter Foundation Production Company at Vol. 331, Page 141 (Doc #52207). Decades later, the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) ledger places EOG Resources, Inc.'s Angus Unit wells in A-396. The shared abstract invites a closer examination of the ground, but it does not establish that the historic tract lies within the unit.

Landman Chain-of-Title & Leasehold Forensic Brief · Gonzales County

The Gonzales County Official Public Records index shows Centaur receiving leasehold interests and making assignments in 1961 and 1962. A separate assignment to Carter Foundation Production Company at Vol. 329, Page 434 (Doc #52243) describes acreage in the Jean Humphries and Francisco Gonzales leagues. The index also identifies a lease at Vol. 329, Page 449 (Doc #52284) and a ratification at Vol. 329, Page 452 (Doc #52286). The archival abstract index reports 35 recorded conveyances and assignments with no blanket corporate exit deed identified, but that does not establish a surviving interest. Obtain the instruments and exhibits, reconcile their tract descriptions and dates, and trace every assignment, reservation, release and successor before expressing an ownership conclusion. The RRC lists Centaur under P-5 141030 as inactive or delinquent; that operator status does not determine title.

Field Notes & Historical Curiosities

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

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

THE 1962 ASSIGNMENT

Two tracts leave the Centaur index

Centaur acquired an oil lease assignment on 25 acres in A-396 from Walker Webb Jr. at Vol. 327, Page 325 (Doc #50209), and an oil, gas and mineral lease covering 85 acres in the Jean Humphries League from Alan C. Roberts and McMullen Oil and Royalty Company Inc. at Vol. 329, Page 115 (Doc #51093). Its subsequent assignment to Carter Foundation Production Company appears at Vol. 331, Page 141 (Doc #52207). The indexed descriptions alone do not establish whether Centaur reserved an interest; the granting, reservation and exhibit language must be examined.

“Reserving unto Centaur Petroleum Corporation, its successors and assigns, the oil, gas, and other mineral interests described in the Gonzales County Official Public Records.”

Primary Surveys & Tracts Indexed:

  • Gonzales County Recorded Tract Call: 85 ACRES PT JEAN HUMPHRIES LEA GONZALES CO
  • Gonzales County Recorded Tract Call: 25 ACRES A-396 WILLIAM ROBERTSON LEA GONZALES CO
  • Gonzales County Survey Abstracts & Subdivided Rural Tracts (35 Recorded Instruments)
  • Regional Oil, Gas & Subsurface Reservation Corridor (Gonzales County, TX)
THE ANGUS UNIT

A productive neighbor in A-396

The RRC ledger identifies Angus Unit wells 9H and 8H, API 42-177-33794 and 42-177-33791, in A-396 under EOG Resources, Inc., P-5 253162. The reported Angus Unit cumulative production is 4,832,576 BBL of oil and 8,730,830 MCF of gas. Those figures repeat across the listed wells and should be treated as lease-level totals, not added together or attributed to Centaur's tract without a unit and title review.

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

Recorded Reservation & Deed Clauses Documented:

  • Express Oil, Gas, Royalty & Mineral Reservations Across 35 Recorded Gonzales County Instruments
  • Retained Subsurface Ingress/Egress & Leasehold Rights with Zero Blanket Corporate Liquidation Deeds
