Question I just found your website and saw a question from an individual that is in almost the exact same situation as I. I have inherited approximately 700 acres of royalty located on the border between Montague and Wise Counties, Texas. I have the legal description but do not know how to find the physical location. Can you help?
Answer I would call or email the tax assessor for each county and see if they can tell you where the property is located; here is the information you need.
