Crane CAD Reappraisal Plan Source Locator

Direct answer for mineral owners

Start at the official Crane CAD Data and Records page, preserve the exact current 2025-2026 plan URL, displayed identity, 56-page count, file hash, and retrieval time, then record only broad section locators. The oil-and-gas-reserves section begins on PDF page 22; its broad contents run through page 29. Do not copy formulas, inputs, deadlines, owner facts, or property facts, and do not apply the plan to a notice, account, valuation, protest, tax position, or sale.

Key takeaways for mineral owners

Use the official Crane CAD Data and Records page to establish the current link relationship, then preserve the exact linked PDF URL as a separate evidence object.
Record the 56-page count, displayed plan identity, oil-and-gas section identity, displayed date and contractor, retrieval time, hash, and broad page locators without reproducing operational details.
Treat displayed source categories as category observations only; do not enter or infer an owner, property, account, lease, regulatory, production, division-of-interest, price, expense, discount-rate, or value fact.
Use only source-recorded, not-displayed, source-conflict, controlled-record-stop, or authorized-human-stop as document-control states.
The locator does not decide applicability, property classification, data selection, appraisal treatment, notice correctness, protest strategy, tax position, value, transaction terms, or an outcome.
Owner-specific interpretation belongs with an authorized human and, where appropriate, qualified appraisal, legal, or tax professionals.

Source-locator boundary. This page identifies the current official Crane County Appraisal District records-page link, the linked 2025-2026 reappraisal-plan PDF, the PDF’s displayed identity, 56-page count, broad plan structure, oil-and-gas-reserves section locators, displayed date and contractor context, broad displayed source categories, retrieval provenance, hash, and document-control states. It does not collect private data, reproduce formulas or model inputs, review an account or notice, decide applicability or classification, select appraisal data, calculate value, interpret appraisal or tax treatment, direct a protest, advise a sale, contact an office, submit anything, or promise a result. MRX provides educational information and resources only and does not buy mineral rights.

The current Crane CAD oil and gas reappraisal plan is linked from the official district Data and Records page. A source locator should preserve that page relationship and the exact linked PDF before recording any section name. The retrieved PDF contains 56 pages. Its displayed oil-and-gas-reserves section begins on PDF page 22 and continues through a displayed timeline on page 29.

That is the limit of this public job. The locator tells a reader where a broad subject appears and how to preserve the source. It does not turn the plan into instructions for an owner, property, account, appraisal, protest, tax position, valuation, or transaction.

Use only source-recorded, not-displayed, source-conflict, controlled-record-stop, or authorized-human-stop. These labels describe source-control status. They do not mean applicable, accurate for an owner, complete, timely, accepted, appraised, taxable, sufficient, valuable, or controlling.

Establish the current official source chain

Start with the Crane CAD Data and Records page. Under Reappraisal Plans, the page displays a 2025 - 2026 link. Preserve the records-page URL first. It supplies the current publisher surface and link relationship.

Preserve the exact linked 2025-2026 reappraisal-plan PDF as a second evidence object. The PDF supplies the displayed document identity and page-level evidence. A retained PDF without the records-page relationship does not by itself show that the district still links that file as current.

Create a source header before indexing a section:

Source-control field	Neutral entry for the retrieved source
Publisher surface	Crane County Appraisal District Data and Records
Records-page URL	`https://www.cranecad.org/home/DataRecords`
Exact linked PDF URL	Preserve the complete current URL without shortening it
Displayed document	Crane County Appraisal District plan for periodic reappraisal
Displayed period	`2025/2026`
Displayed page count	`56`
Retrieved	Date, time, and time zone of the actual retrieval
Controlled-copy reference	Approved hash or repository pointer, if policy permits
Source limitation	Identity and broad section locator only
State	One permitted document-control state

During the recorded 2026-08-27 review, the PDF returned HTTP 200 as application/pdf, contained 2,597,070 bytes and 56 pages, and matched SHA-256 8fdab92769947c1513343a7af82254b1a408ffffa7c42caeb6ae622369369757. A later reader should recheck the live official page and linked file. The recorded hash does not claim that every future revision will match.

Do not put an owner name, account number, property description, lease name, Railroad Commission identifier, division-of-interest fact, production value, price, expense, discount rate, model input, appraisal amount, notice fact, deadline, or private-record detail into this public source header.

Keep each source role separate

The source set contains five official surfaces with different roles. Do not merge them into one authority claim.

Source	What the locator may record	What it must not decide
Crane CAD Data and Records page	Current publisher surface and displayed plan link	Whether the plan applies to an owner, account, notice, or property
Linked plan PDF	Displayed identity, page count, broad headings, locators, date and contractor context	Which data, method, input, calculation, or conclusion belongs in an appraisal
Texas Comptroller Crane directory	Official district website and directory context	Which person, office, recipient, channel, or action a reader should use
Texas Tax Code Chapter 23	Statutory provenance for a chapter referenced by the plan	How a provision applies, which method controls, or what a property is worth
Texas Tax Code Chapter 25	Statutory provenance for appraisal-record and reappraisal subjects	Whether a record or notice is correct, timely, protestable, or controlling

The Texas Comptroller Crane County directory can confirm the official district website context. It does not select a contact or filing path. Texas Tax Code Chapter 23 and Chapter 25 provide governing-source provenance only. This locator does not interpret either chapter.

Map the broad plan structure first

The plan’s opening table of contents displays broad subjects that include tax-code requirement, revaluation decision, performance analysis, available resources, planning and organization, mass appraisal systems and processes, data collection, pilot study, valuation, the written reappraisal plan, and value defense.

A safe structure map records the displayed subject and a page locator. It does not reproduce a method, formula, amount, schedule, deadline, model, or decision rule.

Broad region	Safe locator record	Prohibited transformation
Cover and contents	Displayed plan identity, period, and broad contents	A statement that every listed subject applies to a mineral owner
General plan body	Broad section name and starting page	An operational checklist or appraisal instruction
Oil-and-gas section	Displayed section identity and page range	A property-level model, input list, or valuation method
Displayed timeline	Page locator and label only	A personalized deadline or required owner action
Other appendices	Presence and broad identity only	A conclusion about a mineral account or another property class

If a heading appears in a retained copy but not in the current linked file, record the difference. Do not silently normalize spelling, page numbers, labels, dates, contractor names, or section order.

Locate the oil-and-gas-reserves section

The retrieved PDF displays an oil-and-gas-reserves section beginning on PDF page 22. The section cover identifies the Crane County Appraisal District, Oil and Gas Reserves, 2025-26 Appraisal Procedures and Reappraisal Plan, an August 7, 2024 date, and Thomas Y. Pickett & Company, Inc.

Preserve the displayed identity literally. Do not turn the displayed contractor name into an endorsement, a contact instruction, an agency claim, or proof about a particular appraisal.

The following is a broad locator, not a method summary:

PDF page	Broad displayed locator	Boundary
22	Oil-and-gas-reserves section cover	Identity and starting page only
23	Executive Summary and Overview	Heading location only
24	Assumptions and Limiting Conditions	Heading location only
25	Property Discovery and Data Collection Process; Procedure	Heading location only
26	Continued source-category discussion; Valuation and Analysis begins	Broad category and heading location only
27	Continued broad approach discussion; Review and Testing	Heading location only
29	Displayed reappraisal timeline	Timeline location only, with no personalized date or action

Page locators can help a reader find the official text. They are not a substitute for current professional review and do not authorize copying an operational detail into an owner workflow.

Record broad source categories without copying private fields

The oil-and-gas section displays broad source categories associated with regulatory records, agency reports, owner- or agent-supplied records, prior records, and published sources. A public locator may record that a category appears and where it appears. It must not reproduce a property-level field, identify a particular record, state a private value, or decide whether a category is complete or appropriate.

Use a category-only record:

Locator field	Safe public entry
Broad category	Regulatory source, agency source, owner-controlled source, prior-record source, or published source
Displayed location	PDF page and heading
Observation	Category is displayed in the retrieved source
Limitation	No owner, property, account, lease, production, value, or method fact captured
State	One permitted document-control state

Do not list an actual account, lease, permit, Railroad Commission identifier, division-of-interest statement, completion record, rendition, production amount, price, expense, discount rate, reserve input, appraisal record, or owner submission. The fact that the plan names a category does not prove that a specific record exists, applies, is accurate, is sufficient, may be disclosed, or should be used.

Use controlled-record-stop when the next step would require opening or creating a private or owner-specific record. The public locator ends there. It does not grant access, establish a permitted purpose, or authorize retention or disclosure.

Do not operationalize the displayed methodology

The plan contains appraisal-related discussion. This page does not reproduce or translate that discussion into a model, formula, calculation, decision tree, spreadsheet, or owner instruction.

Keep these boundaries explicit:

The locator may say	The locator must not do
A heading appears on a stated page	Restate the heading’s contents as an appraisal method
A broad source category is displayed	Select a source or decide which data should be used
The section discusses valuation and analysis	Build, calibrate, validate, or recommend a model
A review-and-testing heading appears	Test an appraisal or declare a value accurate
A timeline appears on page 29	Calculate a deadline or direct an owner action

Do not extract or restate prices, expenses, discount rates, formulas, assumptions, escalation factors, schedules, dates, production facts, model inputs, appraisal amounts, ratios, or conclusions. Do not compare the plan with an account, notice, appraisal, offer, tax record, lease record, or owner evidence.

An owner’s question about a mineral account, appraised value, notice, protest, classification, input, or tax result is outside this public artifact. Route it through an authorized controlled process and, where appropriate, a qualified appraisal, legal, or tax professional.

Use the five source-control states literally

Source-recorded

Source-recorded means the records-page relationship, exact URL, displayed document identity, page count, heading, page locator, broad category, date, contractor context, or hash was captured from the retrieved source. It says nothing about applicability, appraisal accuracy, tax treatment, value, or an owner result.

Not-displayed

Not-displayed means a defined item was not found in the specific retrieved source during the recorded review. It does not prove that the item never existed, should appear, is required, or has legal or appraisal significance.

Source-conflict

Source-conflict means the live records page, linked PDF, retained official copy, or other official source displays a different URL, identity, period, page count, heading, page locator, date, contractor attribution, category, or file hash. Preserve each source separately. Do not merge versions or transfer private facts between them.

Controlled-record-stop

Use controlled-record-stop when the next step would expose or require an owner, account, property, lease, regulatory, division-of-interest, production, price, expense, discount-rate, model, notice, appraisal, protest, tax, communication, submission, or transaction record. The label identifies a boundary. It does not authorize access.

Authorized-human-stop

Use authorized-human-stop before applicability, ownership, interest-type, property or account classification, data selection, method selection, model input, calculation, appraisal treatment, notice review, protest strategy, tax position, legal interpretation, valuation, representation, contact, submission, payment, or sale advice.

The public workflow ends at either stop. It does not open credentials, collect private data, inspect evidence, perform a calculation, contact an office, draft a protest, submit a record, make a payment, or promise a result.

Handle source drift without merging copies

Source drift can appear as a changed records-page link, filename, period, page count, section title, page locator, displayed date, contractor attribution, category, or hash. When a retained official copy differs from the current source:

preserve the live records-page URL and exact current linked PDF URL;
preserve the retained official URL or controlled-copy reference;
record retrieval date, time, and time zone for each source;
record each file’s page count and approved hash or pointer;
describe the exact displayed difference without normalizing it;
mark source-conflict; and
stop before merging sections, copying private facts, choosing a controlling version, or applying either source.

A newer timestamp does not authorize this page to decide legal or appraisal priority. A matching title does not prove that page locations, details, or effects are unchanged. A different hash proves only that the bytes differ; it does not explain why.

Prepare a neutral controlled-review handoff

A neutral handoff may contain the source-locator ID, official records-page URL, exact linked PDF URL, displayed plan identity and period, page count, file hash or controlled pointer, retrieval timestamp, displayed oil-and-gas section identity, broad page locators, displayed date and contractor context, broad source-category index, exact conflict note, source limitation, one document-control state, and one unresolved question.

A safe unresolved question is: Which current official source and authorized review are required before an owner-specific record, interpretation, calculation, or action enters scope?

Before any private data, evidence, or individualized work begins, an authorized person should verify role, purpose, minimum necessary data, approved source, recipient, system, channel, retention requirements, and whether qualified appraisal, legal, or tax review is needed. Keep the reusable public locator free of owner-specific facts and conclusions.

The adjacent Form 50-150 confidentiality-boundary map illustrates source-control separation for a different official document and a different reader job. It is not a comparison or selection guide. Never infer from the two pages which document, record, method, office, or action belongs in an owner’s situation.

Final verification checklist

Before closing the locator, confirm that:

the current official Crane CAD Data and Records page was checked;
the complete exact linked 2025-2026 PDF URL was preserved separately;
the displayed plan identity, period, 56-page count, retrieval timestamp, and approved hash or pointer were recorded;
the displayed oil-and-gas-reserves section identity, date, contractor context, and broad page locators were checked against the retrieved PDF;
broad source categories have locators and limitations but no owner-specific or property-specific facts;
no formula, amount, schedule, deadline, price, expense, discount rate, model input, production fact, or appraisal conclusion was copied or operationalized;
the directory and statute sources retain separate provenance roles;
no source observation was converted into applicability, classification, appraisal, protest, tax, valuation, sale, or outcome advice;
any source difference remains preserved as source-conflict without merging;
any private-data or evidence need forces controlled-record-stop;
any owner-specific interpretation, calculation, or action forces authorized-human-stop; and
no credential use, contact, upload, submission, payment, representation, or promised result occurred.

The completed artifact should remain deliberately narrow: a source-controlled locator for one current official plan and its broad oil-and-gas section boundaries. It is useful because it preserves provenance and page-level orientation without pretending that a public plan can answer an owner’s individualized appraisal, protest, tax, valuation, legal, or transaction question.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Crane CAD currently link the 2025-2026 reappraisal plan?

The official Crane CAD Data and Records page lists Reappraisal Plans and provides the current 2025-2026 link. Preserve both the records-page URL and the exact linked PDF URL because they prove different source relationships.

Where does the oil-and-gas-reserves section begin?

In the retrieved 56-page PDF, the displayed Oil and Gas Reserves section begins on PDF page 22. Record the page locator and displayed identity only; do not turn the section into property-specific appraisal instructions.

Does the plan tell me whether my mineral account or notice is correct?

No. This locator does not compare an account, notice, appraisal, lease, production record, ownership record, or property fact with the plan. An owner-specific review requires an authorized controlled process and may require qualified professional judgment.

Can I use the plan to calculate mineral value?

Not through this locator. It deliberately excludes formulas, prices, expenses, discount rates, model inputs, data selection, property facts, calculations, and appraisal conclusions. It provides source identity and broad section locations only.

What if my retained PDF differs from the current link?

Preserve both URLs or controlled-copy references, retrieval times, hashes, page counts, and exact displayed differences. Mark source-conflict and stop before merging versions, transferring private facts, choosing a controlling copy, or applying either source.
