Culberson CAD Mineral Roll ZIP Source Control

Direct answer for mineral owners

Start at the official Culberson CAD Data and Records page, preserve the exact current certified mineral-roll ZIP URL, retrieval time, MIME, compressed bytes, and complete-file hash, then inventory only generic ZIP central-directory metadata. Do not extract or read members, expose row data, perform matching, or use the archive to decide an appraisal, tax, protest, legal, valuation, or sale question.

Key takeaways for mineral owners

Preserve the official Data and Records page and the exact linked ZIP as separate source-control objects because they prove different relationships.
Record complete-file identity and generic central-directory metadata only; do not extract, open, read, search, index, transform, copy, display, or summarize member content.
The recorded archive contained seven non-directory and unencrypted members with generic PDF, TXT, and CSV extensions, but those facts do not establish row accuracy or completeness.
Use only source-recorded, not-displayed, source-conflict, controlled-record-stop, or authorized-human-stop as document-control states.
Stop before row-data access, matching, enrichment, private-data review, individualized interpretation, appraisal judgment, tax guidance, legal interpretation, valuation, or sale advice.

Source-control boundary. This page identifies the current official Culberson County Appraisal District Data and Records page, its displayed 2026 Certified Mineral Appraisal Roll ZIP link, the exact linked archive, complete-file retrieval facts, generic central-directory metadata, retrieval provenance, hash, and document-control states. It does not extract or read a member, expose row data, perform a lookup, match another dataset, decide appraisal or tax treatment, direct a protest, interpret law, calculate value, 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 Culberson CAD certified mineral roll ZIP is linked from the official district Data and Records page. A source-control record should preserve that publisher-page relationship and the exact linked archive before it records even generic archive metadata.

That is the limit of this public job. The record can identify the complete downloaded container and inventory its central directory without extracting or opening a member. It cannot expose or interpret any row.

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 accurate, complete, applicable, current for a later retrieval, appraised, taxable, protestable, legally sufficient, accepted, valuable, or controlling.

Establish the official source chain

Start with the Culberson CAD Data and Records page. During the recorded 2026-08-27 review, that page displayed a 2026 Certified Mineral Appraisal Roll (Zip) link in its 2026 certified-roll section. Preserve the publisher-page URL first. It supplies the current display context and link relationship.

Preserve the exact linked certified mineral-roll ZIP as a second evidence object. The archive supplies the complete downloadable bytes and its generic central-directory metadata. A retained ZIP without the publisher-page relationship does not by itself show that the district still presents that file under the same label.

Create a source header before inspecting the archive container:

Source-control field	Neutral entry for the retrieved source
Publisher surface	Culberson County Appraisal District Data and Records
Displayed link	`2026 Certified Mineral Appraisal Roll (Zip)`
Exact ZIP URL	Preserve the complete current URL without shortening it
Retrieval method	Complete-file GET
Retrieved	Date, time, and time zone of the actual retrieval
MIME	Record the response content type literally
Compressed bytes	Record the complete downloaded file length
Complete-file reference	SHA-256 or approved controlled-copy pointer
Source limitation	Container identity and generic central-directory metadata only
State	One permitted document-control state

During the recorded review, the complete-file GET returned HTTP 200. The archive contained 7,211,706 compressed bytes and matched SHA-256 079f40f486f0a4ade5342d93ccf89cd73d386a91c6e310f1f8813767bf778d73. A later reader should recheck the live official page and linked file. The recorded hash identifies one retrieved binary; it does not claim that every future download will match.

Do not put an owner name, address, account number, property description, legal description, lease, operator, Railroad Commission identifier, interest fact, jurisdiction, production value, appraisal amount, tax amount, exemption, protest detail, notice fact, contact value, or row data 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 this record may preserve	What it must not decide
Culberson CAD Data and Records page	Current publisher surface, displayed year, link label, and link relationship	Whether an archive row is accurate, complete, applicable, or controlling
Linked ZIP	Complete-file bytes, hash, MIME, retrieval result, and generic central-directory metadata	What any member or row says, means, proves, or should be used for
Texas Comptroller Culberson directory	Official district website and county-directory context	Which person, office, recipient, channel, or action a reader should use
Texas Tax Code Chapter 25	Statutory provenance for appraisal-record and appraisal-roll subjects	How a provision applies or whether a row or notice is correct
Texas Tax Code Chapter 26	Statutory provenance for assessment and tax-rate subjects	Which jurisdiction or rate applies or what tax is due

The Texas Comptroller Culberson County directory can confirm official district website context. It does not select a contact or filing path. Texas Tax Code Chapter 25 and Chapter 26 provide governing-source provenance only. This record does not interpret either chapter.

Inventory the container without reading a member

A ZIP central directory describes the archive container. Its metadata can include member names, compressed and uncompressed sizes, directory flags, encryption flags, timestamps, and compression methods. Recording selected generic metadata is not the same as opening a member, but the boundary must remain explicit.

During the recorded review, a central-directory-only inspection reported:

Archive observation	Recorded result
Non-directory members	`7`
Directory entries	`0`
Encrypted members	`0`
Aggregate uncompressed bytes	`73,410,872`
Generic extensions present	`.pdf`, `.txt`, `.csv`
Member extraction	Not performed
Member-content access	Not performed

The generic member names were 7. MASTER INVENTORY LISTING.PDF, 1. MINERAL APPRAISAL ROLL.PDF, 2. MINERAL FILE LAYOUT.pdf, 3. MINERAL DATA FLAT TEXT FILE.TXT, 4. MINERAL DATA CSV FILE.CSV, 5. MINERAL RECAP.PDF, and 6. YR X YR APPRAISALS.PDF.

Those names are container metadata only. A filename can describe a member without proving the member’s contents, accuracy, completeness, currency, applicability, legal effect, or fitness for a purpose. Do not infer a row count, data-field layout, appraisal conclusion, owner fact, property fact, tax result, trend, or year-to-year change from a filename.

Do not extract, preview, or sample

The public record ends at the archive boundary. Do not extract a member to a temporary directory. Do not open a PDF, text file, or CSV. Do not display a first row, header, sample, count, summary, thumbnail, preview, or search result. Do not transform a member to another format.

Keep these distinctions literal:

Permitted container record	Prohibited content action
Exact complete-file URL	Opening a member URL or copied file
Complete-file bytes and hash	Hashing an extracted row or displaying member content
Generic member name and extension	Reading a header, field layout, page, line, or cell
Aggregate uncompressed bytes	Calculating row counts or content statistics
Directory and encryption flags	Bypassing controls or testing private-data access
Retrieval timestamp	Treating the archive as current for a later date without rechecking

A temptation to inspect one harmless-looking header is still member-content access. A request for one sample owner, one account, or one property is row-data access. Both require a stop outside this public artifact.

Do not match the archive to another source

Even if a future authorized workflow can lawfully access row data, this article does not provide that workflow. It does not match a name, address, account, property description, lease, operator, regulatory identifier, production record, appraisal notice, tax bill, offer, or owner-supplied record against the archive.

Do not use the container metadata or member names to build analytics, enrich a lead, select a contact, segment an audience, infer ownership, estimate value, identify a protest candidate, or recommend a transaction. Do not create a join key or a matching rule.

If the next question depends on a row, mark controlled-record-stop. If it asks what a row means for a person or property, mark authorized-human-stop. Route the issue through a system and human process with appropriate authority, data controls, retention rules, and professional review.

Preserve source drift instead of normalizing it

The publisher may replace the ZIP while retaining a similar display label, change the link target, revise a filename, or publish another year. Never overwrite the earlier source record silently.

For each retrieval, preserve:

Publisher-page URL and displayed link label.
Exact final ZIP URL after redirects.
Retrieval date, time, time zone, and method.
HTTP status and MIME.
Complete compressed bytes and SHA-256.
Generic central-directory member count, names, extensions, aggregate uncompressed bytes, directory count, and encryption flags.
Source limitation and document-control state.

If any item differs, create a new observation and mark source-conflict until an authorized process resolves which copy belongs in its controlled context. Do not merge member lists, choose a controlling version, or infer what changed inside a member.

Use the five source-control states literally

Source-recorded

Source-recorded means the official publisher relationship, exact archive URL, retrieval result, complete-file identity, or permitted central-directory metadata was captured from the retrieved source. It says nothing about row accuracy, completeness, appraisal correctness, tax treatment, legal effect, value, or an owner result.

Not-displayed

Not-displayed means the permitted publisher-page or container metadata does not show the expected item. It does not mean the item does not exist inside a member, in another system, or in another official record.

Source-conflict

Source-conflict means two preserved source observations differ in URL, label, hash, bytes, MIME, member inventory, or another permitted metadata field. Preserve both observations. Do not harmonize them or select a controlling copy through this article.

Controlled-record-stop

Controlled-record-stop applies before any member extraction, member-content access, row-data access, private-data handling, matching, enrichment, or evidence review. The public source-control record ends there.

Authorized-human-stop

Authorized-human-stop applies when the question asks what a row means, whether an appraisal is correct, which law applies, whether to protest, what tax is due, what minerals are worth, or what transaction action to take. Those questions require a separate authorized process and may require qualified appraisal, legal, tax, engineering, or transaction professionals.

Keep the recorded labels narrow

The terms certified, mineral, appraisal roll, and open records appear in the publisher or file naming. This article preserves those labels to identify the source. It does not independently certify the archive, determine who may use a member, declare every row public, or interpret disclosure obligations.

Likewise, the existence of PDF, TXT, and CSV members does not establish that they contain identical information, compatible fields, complete records, or current facts. Their extensions are generic central-directory observations only.

Apply the final stop check

Before saving a source-control record, ask:

Did I preserve the official publisher page and exact archive URL separately?
Did I record only complete-file identity and generic central-directory metadata?
Did I avoid extracting, opening, reading, searching, indexing, transforming, copying, displaying, or summarizing a member?
Did I avoid every owner, address, account, property, legal-description, lease, operator, regulatory, interest, production, appraisal, tax, protest, notice, contact, and row value?
Did I avoid matching, enrichment, analytics, outreach, appraisal, tax, protest, legal, valuation, and sale conclusions?
Did I preserve source drift rather than normalizing it?
Did I use only one of the five permitted source-control states?

If any answer is no, stop before the record leaves the controlled process. This page documents a public source container. It is not a row-access tool, ownership lookup, appraisal review, protest plan, tax calculation, legal interpretation, valuation, or sale recommendation.

MRX provides educational information and resources only and does not buy mineral rights. An owner remains free to keep the minerals, seek other offers, obtain independent professional advice, or decline a transaction.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Culberson CAD currently link the certified mineral-roll ZIP?

The official Culberson CAD Data and Records page displays a 2026 Certified Mineral Appraisal Roll ZIP link in its 2026 certified-roll section. Preserve both the records-page URL and the exact linked ZIP URL because they prove different source relationships.

What did the source-control review record about the ZIP?

The recorded complete-file GET returned HTTP 200. The archive contained 7,211,706 compressed bytes, matched the stated SHA-256, and had seven non-directory and unencrypted central-directory members totaling 73,410,872 uncompressed bytes.

Does this article open or summarize any archive member?

No. It records only complete-file identity and generic ZIP central-directory metadata. It does not extract, open, read, search, index, transform, copy, display, reproduce, summarize, match, or interpret any member content or row data.

Does the certified label prove that a mineral row is accurate?

No. Certified Mineral Appraisal Roll is preserved as the publisher link label. This source-control record does not test a row, prove completeness, decide applicability, or make an appraisal, tax, protest, legal, ownership, valuation, or transaction conclusion.

What if a future ZIP or link differs from the recorded source?

Preserve the new publisher-page relationship, exact URL, retrieval time, complete-file hash, bytes, MIME, and generic central-directory metadata as a separate observation. Mark source-conflict and stop before merging versions, reading rows, selecting a controlling copy, or applying either archive.
