Tracing transfer of real property

I can offer a small suggestion, may or may not help. Read the property descriptions carefully. The property may be described by referencing a transaction that happened
several generations ago. This is legal, yet raises a red flag. If you do not see a clear conveyance path in the grantor/grantee index, something is amiss. Also in Texas you have two parts to consider when land transfers, the mineral estate, legally the superior estate, and the surface estate. Look at the deeds to see what is being conveyed. Usually, often, the grantor will reserve some of the mineral estate when selling the surface estate. One thought, if all three are mentioned in one deed, their
respective interests should be mentioned, undivided interests perhaps? I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, just from my own experience. I have found that probably most land men and lawyers are trustworthy, some are not, and you just cannot know. Best of luck to you.
