Culberson CAD Mineral Category Codes Source Locator
Preserve three official category-label sources, their exact page locators, retrieval provenance, literal labels, and document-control states.
Direct answer for mineral owners
Start at the official Culberson CAD Data and Records page and preserve the exact current mass-report and annual-report links. The mass report displays local mineral labels on PDF page 7, the annual report displays a Category G Mineral row on PDF page 3, and the current statewide guide displays Category G labels on printed page 20, PDF page 23. Keep each source separate and do not infer equivalence or classify a property.
Key takeaways for mineral owners
- Preserve the Culberson CAD publisher page and each exact linked report as separate source objects because they prove different relationships.
- The mass report displays a local mineral-category family on PDF page 7; record the labels literally without inferring equivalence or applicability.
- The annual report and current statewide guide have separate source roles and must not be merged into the local code table.
- Record no parcel count, market value, ratio, formula, method, schedule, deadline, owner fact, property fact, row data, or appraisal conclusion.
- Use only source-recorded, not-displayed, source-conflict, controlled-record-stop, or authorized-human-stop as document-control states.
- Stop before ZIP work, property search, row-data access, classification, appraisal, protest, legal, tax, valuation, or sale guidance.
Source-locator boundary. This page identifies the current official Culberson County Appraisal District Data and Records page, the linked 2025 Mass Appraisal Report and 2025 Annual Report, the current Texas Comptroller property-classification guide, their complete-file identities, broad section locations, literal displayed mineral category labels, retrieval provenance, and document-control states. It does not inspect the certified-roll ZIP, access row data, reproduce numerical roll results, infer code equivalence, search or classify a property, 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 exact Culberson CAD mineral category codes recorded here are literal labels found in current official documents. The 2025 mass report displays its local category table on PDF page 7. The 2025 annual report displays a Category G Mineral row on PDF page 3. The current Texas Comptroller guide displays statewide Category G labels on printed page 20, which is PDF page 23 in the retrieved file.
Those are three separate observations. A shared letter, number, or word does not prove that the sources use a code identically. This public locator records where a label appears and then stops.
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 equivalent, applicable, accurate, complete, classified, appraised, taxable, protestable, legally sufficient, accepted, valuable, or controlling.
Establish the current official source chain
Start with the Culberson CAD Data and Records page. During the recorded 2026-08-27 review, that page displayed links to a 2025 Mass Appraisal Report and a 2025 Annual Report. Preserve the publisher-page URL first. It supplies the current link relationship.
Preserve the exact linked 2025 Mass Appraisal Report and exact linked 2025 Annual Report as separate evidence objects. Each PDF supplies its own displayed document and page-level evidence. A retained PDF without the publisher-page relationship does not by itself show that the district still presents it under the same label.
Create a source header for each file:
| Source-control field | Neutral entry |
|---|---|
| Publisher surface | Culberson County Appraisal District Data and Records |
| Exact linked PDF URL | Preserve the complete current URL without shortening it |
| Displayed document | Record the title from that specific retrieved file |
| Page count | Record the PDF page count without importing document results |
| Retrieved | Date, time, and time zone of the actual retrieval |
| Complete-file identity | Bytes and SHA-256 or an approved controlled-copy pointer |
| Locator scope | Broad section, literal label, and page location only |
| State | One permitted document-control state |
The mass-report GET returned HTTP 200, 6,060,966 bytes, 21 pages, and SHA-256 c52e51781fb5c21e0153abb7664582c3a329083d2edfe58ecec765a7adcad64f. The annual-report GET returned HTTP 200, 1,322,738 bytes, five pages, and SHA-256 1ce0ab490fbfd8352a339e1d3e7325139677c885ccad5b66295d5ce05b6cd396.
A later reader should recheck the live publisher page and exact links. A recorded hash identifies one retrieved binary; it does not claim that a future download will match.
Keep all five source roles separate
The source set contains five official surfaces. Do not merge them into one authority claim.
| Source | What the locator may preserve | What it must not decide |
|---|---|---|
| Culberson CAD Data and Records page | Current publisher surface and displayed report links | Whether a document or code applies to a person, account, or property |
| 2025 Mass Appraisal Report | Document identity, page count, broad section locators, and literal local labels | Code equivalence, property classification, appraisal method, value, or result |
| 2025 Annual Report | Document identity, page count, broad category-section locator, and literal Category G row label | Numerical roll results, jurisdiction conclusions, notice or appeal results, or account treatment |
| Texas Comptroller classification guide | Current statewide source identity, page locator, and literal statewide labels | Whether a statewide label is identical to a local code or applies to a property |
| Texas Tax Code Chapter 25 | Statutory provenance for appraisal-record and appraisal-roll subjects | Interpretation, applicability, timing, filing, protest, tax, or owner-specific legal guidance |
The Texas Tax Code Chapter 25 link is governing-source provenance only. This page does not interpret a provision or decide how it affects an owner, record, appraisal roll, notice, or deadline.
Locate the local mass-report category table
The retrieved mass report displays a parcel-category summary on PDF page 5 and a PROPERTY CATEGORY CODES table on PDF page 7. This locator records only those broad locations and the literal local mineral labels displayed on page 7:
| Local displayed label | Source locator | Permitted observation |
|---|---|---|
G Minerals | 2025 Mass Appraisal Report, PDF page 7 | Literal source-recorded label |
G1 Oil, Gas & Mineral Reserves | 2025 Mass Appraisal Report, PDF page 7 | Literal source-recorded label |
G2B Mineral-Producing Sulphur | 2025 Mass Appraisal Report, PDF page 7 | Literal source-recorded label |
G2D Mineral-Producing Clay | 2025 Mass Appraisal Report, PDF page 7 | Literal source-recorded label |
G3A Mineral-Non-Producing Oil & Gas | 2025 Mass Appraisal Report, PDF page 7 | Literal source-recorded label |
G4A Lease Hold Equipment | 2025 Mass Appraisal Report, PDF page 7 | Literal source-recorded label |
Spelling, punctuation, capitalization, spacing, and hyphenation are preserved as displayed. Recording a literal label does not adopt it as an MRX classification, declare it current for a later file, or decide what it covers.
The page 5 summary is a locator only. This article deliberately does not reproduce or use any parcel count or value from that page. It also does not reproduce formulas, methods, assumptions, ratios, schedules, deadlines, or appraisal conclusions from elsewhere in the report.
Preserve the annual-report locator independently
The retrieved annual report contains five pages. Its PDF page 3 displays a Property Categories section and a G Mineral row. This public artifact may record that broad section, literal row label, and page location.
It must not reproduce the row’s numerical contents or use them to describe the district, a jurisdiction, an account, an owner, a property, or a mineral market. It does not reproduce notice totals, appeal results, market values, parcel counts, operating statistics, or other document results.
Treat the annual-report locator separately from the mass-report table. The shorter annual-report label does not prove that it covers every local sublabel displayed on PDF page 7 of the mass-appraisal report. It does not establish a hierarchy, mapping, validation, or contradiction.
If the two documents display different wording, preserve each wording with its own URL, page, retrieval time, and file identity. Use source-conflict if a controlled workflow expected the labels to match. Do not normalize them into an invented common code.
Separate the statewide guide from local labels
The current Texas Property Tax Assistance Property Classification Guide is a 36-page statewide source. The retrieved file returned HTTP 200, contained 1,170,975 bytes, and matched SHA-256 81d36ed8286ae58a17a464ab2a7772a04dfebce6ad9a9a4556fc6e3abf3cf218.
Its printed page 20, which appears as PDF page 23 in the retrieved file, displays statewide mineral-category labels:
| Statewide displayed label | Source locator | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
G Oil, Gas and Other Mineral Reserves | Statewide guide, printed page 20, PDF page 23 | Literal statewide heading only |
G1 Oil and Gas | Statewide guide, printed page 20, PDF page 23 | Literal statewide label only |
G2 Minerals | Statewide guide, printed page 20, PDF page 23 | Literal statewide label only |
G3 Other Subsurface Interests | Statewide guide, printed page 20, PDF page 23 | Literal statewide label only |
This table is not a crosswalk. Do not infer that a local Culberson label equals, contains, replaces, or maps to a statewide label merely because a character or subject resembles another source. Do not apply the guide’s examples to a particular account or property.
If a future official source expressly supplies a relationship, preserve that source separately for authorized review. This public locator does not establish the relationship itself.
Do not apply a category code
A code locator is not a classification workflow. It cannot answer which code should appear on a record, whether an existing code is correct, how property should be appraised, whether a notice should be challenged, or what an interest is worth.
Keep these boundaries literal:
| The locator may do | The locator must not do |
|---|---|
| Record an exact source URL and file hash | Search an owner, account, or property |
| Record a broad heading and page locator | Read, copy, or match row data |
| Record a displayed label literally | Infer code equivalence or applicability |
| Preserve a source difference | Choose a controlling code or normalize labels |
| Mark a document-control state | Decide classification, appraisal, tax, protest, legal, value, or sale consequences |
Do not combine the labels with an appraisal roll, notice, tax bill, ownership record, lease, legal description, Railroad Commission record, production record, offer, or owner-supplied evidence. Do not create a crosswalk, matching rule, classification questionnaire, lead segment, valuation input, protest position, or transaction recommendation.
The adjacent certified mineral-roll ZIP source-control record ends at complete-file and generic central-directory metadata. It does not authorize this page to open an archive member or inspect a row. Keep the two public jobs separate.
Use the five document-control states literally
Source-recorded
Source-recorded means a publisher-page relationship, exact URL, document identity, page count, complete-file hash, broad section, page locator, or literal displayed label was captured from the retrieved source. It says nothing about equivalence, applicability, accuracy, completeness, classification, appraisal, tax treatment, protest position, legal effect, 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, appraisal, tax, or valuation significance.
Source-conflict
Source-conflict means the current publisher page, linked PDF, retained official copy, or another official source displays a different URL, title, page count, hash, section name, page locator, category label, spelling, or code. Preserve each source separately. Do not merge wording, infer equivalence, or choose a controlling source.
Controlled-record-stop
Use controlled-record-stop when the next step would require ZIP access, archive-member access, row data, private data, an owner, account, property, notice, appraisal, tax, lease, legal description, regulatory, production, protest, contact, communication, submission, payment, or transaction record. The label identifies a boundary. It does not authorize access.
Authorized-human-stop
Use authorized-human-stop before code-equivalence judgment, applicability, account or property classification, evidence review, appraisal treatment, notice review, protest strategy, timing, 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 a row, classify property, contact an office, draft a protest, submit a record, make a payment, or promise a result.
Handle source drift without normalizing labels
Source drift can appear as a changed records-page link, filename, document title, page count, hash, section name, page locator, label, code, spelling, or punctuation. When a retained official copy differs from a current source:
- preserve the live publisher-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, bytes, and approved hash or pointer;
- describe the exact displayed difference without correcting it;
- mark
source-conflict; and - stop before merging labels, inferring equivalence, choosing a controlling source, opening row data, or applying a code.
A newer timestamp does not authorize this page to decide priority. A matching title does not prove that labels or page locations 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 locator ID, official publisher-page URL, exact PDF URLs, displayed document identities, page counts, complete-file hashes or controlled pointers, retrieval timestamps, broad section names, literal displayed labels, page locators, 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 any label relationship, property record, classification, interpretation, or action enters scope?
Before private data, row 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.
Final verification checklist
Before closing the locator, confirm that:
- the current official Culberson CAD Data and Records page was checked;
- the complete exact mass-report and annual-report URLs were preserved separately;
- the three PDF identities, page counts, byte counts, hashes, and retrieval provenance were recorded;
- mass-report page 7 local labels were transcribed literally without an inferred crosswalk;
- annual-report page 3 remains a separate source-role and contains no reproduced numerical result;
- statewide printed page 20, PDF page 23, remains a separate source-role;
- no parcel count, market value, ratio, formula, method, assumption, schedule, deadline, account fact, owner fact, property fact, row data, or appraisal conclusion was reproduced;
- no label was converted into equivalence, applicability, classification, appraisal, tax, protest, legal, valuation, sale, or outcome advice;
- any source difference remains preserved as
source-conflictwithout merging; - any row-data or private-record need forces
controlled-record-stop; - any individualized interpretation, classification, calculation, or action forces
authorized-human-stop; and - no credential use, ZIP work, property search, contact, upload, submission, payment, representation, or promised result occurred.
The completed artifact should remain deliberately narrow: a source-controlled locator for three official category-label sources and their literal page-level observations. It is useful because it lets a reader find the current source language without pretending that a public label can classify a property or answer an owner’s appraisal, protest, tax, valuation, legal, or transaction question.
Frequently asked questions
Where does Culberson CAD currently link the two reports used by this locator?
The official Culberson CAD Data and Records page links the 2025 Mass Appraisal Report and the 2025 Annual Report. Preserve the publisher-page URL and each exact linked PDF URL separately because they prove different source relationships.
Where does the mass report display local mineral category labels?
The retrieved 21-page mass report displays its PROPERTY CATEGORY CODES table on PDF page 7. This locator records literal labels and a page location only; it does not apply a label to an account or property.
Does a matching letter or number prove that local and statewide codes are equivalent?
No. The Culberson mass report and the current Texas Comptroller guide are separate sources. Similar-looking labels must remain source-specific unless an authorized review establishes a supported relationship outside this public locator.
Does the annual report tell me how my mineral interest is classified or valued?
No. This locator records only that the retrieved annual report displays a Property Categories section and a Category G Mineral row on PDF page 3. It does not reproduce numerical results or decide classification, appraisal, tax, protest, value, or sale consequences.
What if a current report differs from the source recorded here?
Preserve each URL, retrieval time, page count, bytes, hash, displayed label, and page locator separately. Mark source-conflict and stop before merging labels, choosing a controlling source, applying a code, or transferring row data.
