Ector CAD 2027-2028 Reappraisal Plan Oil and Gas Section Source Locator

Direct answer for mineral owners

Start at the official Ector CAD home page, preserve its current Reappraisal Plan link and the exact 120-page PDF, then use physical PDF pages 1, 3, 14, and 55 through 59 as a bounded source path. Those pages locate the 2027-2028 plan identity, a high-level mineral planning note, and the oil-and-gas section; they do not supply owner instructions, prove an appraisal or tax result, or determine market value.

Key takeaways for mineral owners

• Preserve the Ector CAD home page and exact plan PDF as separate evidence objects because one establishes the publisher link and the other supplies the file identity and page evidence.
• The recorded 120-page PDF displays Tax Years 2027/2028, an August 5, 2026 adopted date, and a September 15, 2026 effective date on physical page 1.
• Physical page 3 points to the Oil and Gas Mineral Property Valuation Process on page 55; physical page 14 supplies a high-level mineral-planning note.
• The bounded oil-and-gas section runs from physical page 55 through page 59, but this locator does not reproduce formulas, model inputs, schedules, property data, or appraisal conclusions.
• Stop before applying the plan to an account, notice, property, tax, protest, title, value, offer, or sale decision.

Reappraisal-plan source-locator boundary. This page preserves the current official Ector CAD home-page link, exact 2027-2028 reappraisal-plan file identity, complete-file retrieval provenance, and broad physical-page path to the oil-and-gas section. It does not reproduce formulas or model inputs, apply the plan to an account or property, interpret law, authenticate an adoption, judge an appraisal or notice, calculate tax or value, direct a protest, establish title or ownership, evaluate an offer, advise a sale, contact an office, submit anything, or promise an outcome. MRX provides educational information and resources only and does not buy mineral rights.

The current Ector CAD 2027-2028 oil and gas reappraisal plan is linked from the official district home page. In the recorded 2026-08-28 retrieval, the exact PDF contained 120 physical pages. Page 1 displayed the 2027/2028 plan identity and two document dates. Page 3 pointed to the oil-and-gas process at page 55, page 14 displayed a high-level mineral-planning note, and pages 55 through 59 formed the bounded oil-and-gas section.

That is the public job. These locators help a reader find and preserve the official source. They do not convert the plan into owner instructions or establish how any account, notice, property, appraisal, tax, protest, title, value, offer, or sale should be handled.

Preserve the publisher-to-file chain

Start at the Ector County Appraisal District home page. During the recorded review, its public resource list displayed a Reappraisal Plan link. Preserve that publisher surface before opening the file.

Preserve the exact linked reappraisal-plan PDF as a second evidence object. The home page supplies the publisher relationship. The PDF supplies the displayed document identity, page count, and page-level observations. A downloaded file without the current home-page relationship does not by itself show what the district currently links.

One complete-file retrieval on 2026-08-28 returned HTTP 200 as application/pdf, contained 1,901,263 bytes and 120 physical pages, supplied Last-Modified: Wed, 05 Aug 2026 20:56:20 GMT, and matched SHA-256 ee9903cd6741dc132fc80688c84b39e98e561ef808d65f96f45e912853f6149a. Those facts identify one retrieved source state. A later file with different bytes, pages, dates, or headings must be recorded separately.

Map the bounded physical-page path

Use physical PDF pages, not an assumed printed-page offset. The following map records broad displayed identity and location only.

Physical PDF page	Broad displayed locator	What this page may preserve	What it cannot decide
1	Ector County Appraisal District Reappraisal Plan, Tax Years 2027/2028	Plan identity plus the displayed adopted and effective dates	Authenticity, legal effect, compliance, timeliness, or an owner deadline
3	Contents entry for Oil and Gas Mineral Property Valuation Process at page 55	Section name and starting-page locator	Applicability, method selection, or an appraisal instruction
14	Mineral Property Appraisal	Presence of a high-level mineral-planning note	A formula, model input, account treatment, or property result
55	Oil and Gas Mineral Property Valuation Process begins	Section identity and first physical page	A valuation model, calculation, input, or recommendation
56-58	Continuation of the same section	Continuation boundary only	Extracted methods, data fields, assumptions, tests, or owner instructions
59	Value Review Procedures, Performance Tests, and Market Area Analysis	Broad closing headings and final physical page	Appraisal correctness, ratio conclusions, market value, or a transaction decision

Physical page 1 displays ADOPTED on AUGUST 5, 2026 and EFFECTIVE as of SEPTEMBER 15, 2026. This page preserves those literal display facts as document identity. It does not authenticate the displayed adoption, decide when legal effect begins, or direct an owner action.

Keep the five official sources in separate roles

The Texas Comptroller Ector County directory supplies limited official district-directory and website context. It does not establish the Ector home-page display, PDF bytes, or page content.

Texas Tax Code Chapter 6 supplies current statutory provenance for appraisal-district administration and written reappraisal-plan subjects. Texas Tax Code Chapter 25 supplies current statutory provenance for appraisal-record and periodic-reappraisal subjects. This source locator does not interpret either chapter, decide compliance, or apply a provision to an owner or property.

Source	Evidence role	Explicit limit
Ector CAD home page	Current public publisher surface and displayed plan link	No PDF-byte, page-text, property, or result claim
Exact Ector CAD plan PDF	File identity, page count, displayed cover facts, and bounded page locators	No formula, model, property application, or appraisal conclusion
Comptroller Ector directory	District-directory and official-site context	No plan identity, page, contact-selection, or owner-action claim
Texas Tax Code Chapter 6	Current governing-source provenance for plan administration	No legal interpretation or compliance conclusion
Texas Tax Code Chapter 25	Current governing-source provenance for periodic reappraisal	No property treatment, tax result, protest direction, or legal conclusion

Keep each Ector document in its own evidence lane

The Ector CAD 2026 Mineral Appraisal Parameters Source Index owns a separate 60-page parameters PDF, its contents map, source-year roles, and printed parameter-page boundary. It does not supply this plan’s identity or page path.

The Ector CAD 2026 Mass Appraisal Report Mineral Section Page Crosswalk owns a separate 45-page report, its physical page 10 locator, and physical pages 42 through 45. The Ector CAD 2026 Certified Mineral Appraisal Roll ZIP Source-Control Record owns a separate archive container and never supplies plan-page evidence.

Do not merge a parameter, report statement, ZIP filename, plan heading, account record, or property-search result into one conclusion. Each has a different issuer context, route, file identity, date, page or container structure, purpose, and evidence limit.

Use a versioned source-control record

A citation-ready locator should record enough detail to distinguish one source state from another:

Field	Recorded entry
Publisher	Ector County Appraisal District
Publisher route	https://www.ectorcad.org/
Exact file route	https://www.ectorcad.org/pdf/reappraisal_plan.pdf
Displayed period	Tax Years 2027/2028
Physical pages	120
Retrieved	2026-08-28, with time zone retained in the controlled evidence record
MIME	application/pdf
Bytes	1,901,263
SHA-256	ee9903cd6741dc132fc80688c84b39e98e561ef808d65f96f45e912853f6149a
Locator scope	Physical pages 1, 3, 14, and 55 through 59
Prohibited transformation	Formula, model, property, account, appraisal, tax, protest, legal, value, offer, or sale application

If the live file changes, preserve the later source as a new version. Do not overwrite the recorded hash, transfer a page locator without checking it, or silently treat two files as equivalent.

Stop before application or advice

This locator cannot answer whether an account is complete, a notice is correct, an input is appropriate, a value is accurate, a tax result is proper, a protest should be filed, title is established, an offer is competitive, or a sale should occur.

Stop and move to an authorized controlled process when the next step would require any of these:

• opening a private owner, account, lease, division-of-interest, production, appraisal, tax, or title record;
• extracting a formula, price, expense, rate, assumption, schedule, data field, or model input;
• selecting or applying a method to a property;
• interpreting a statute, notice, plan, or legal consequence;
• calculating tax, appraisal value, market value, or offer value;
• directing a protest, filing, contact, submission, representation, negotiation, or transaction; or
• promising a ranking, indexing, answer-engine citation, traffic, lead, revenue, appraisal, tax, or sale outcome.

For broader Texas mineral-rights context, use the Texas mineral-rights hub. For a source-control comparison, use the adjacent Ector mass-appraisal report page crosswalk without combining the two files. If an owner wants a confidential review, the review path is the separate next step; this public locator does not pre-judge the result.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Ector CAD currently link the reappraisal plan?

The official Ector CAD home page displays a Reappraisal Plan link to the exact district PDF. Preserve the home-page URL and direct PDF URL separately because they establish different parts of the source chain.

What period does the retrieved plan display?

Physical PDF page 1 displays Tax Years 2027/2028. It also displays August 5, 2026 as the adopted date and September 15, 2026 as the effective date. This locator records those display facts without authenticating legal effect.

Where does the plan locate its oil-and-gas section?

Physical PDF page 3 lists Oil and Gas Mineral Property Valuation Process at page 55. Physical page 55 begins that section, which continues through physical page 59 in the recorded copy.

Can this locator be used to calculate a mineral value?

No. It deliberately excludes formulas, model inputs, prices, expenses, rates, calculations, property facts, and appraisal conclusions. It identifies a source and broad page boundaries only.

What if the home-page link or PDF changes?

Preserve the new publisher-page relationship, exact URL, retrieval time, MIME type, bytes, Last-Modified field, hash, page count, and displayed differences as a separate source state. Do not silently merge versions or transfer a page locator from one file to another.
