Howard CAD 2024 Annual Report: Category G Oil and Gas Property Totals Page Locator

Direct answer for mineral owners

Howard CAD’s official 2024 annual report shows the Category G row on physical page 4 under MARKET VALUE BY PROPERTY TYPE. The literal row is G | Oil & Gas Properties | 145,117 | 6,793,424,516. The middle field is not relabeled here; the right figure is the report’s Category G market-value total, not a mineral-rights sale-value estimate.

Key takeaways for mineral owners

• Start at the official Howard CAD Reports and Plans page and follow its 2024 annual-report link.
• The four-page PDF places the Category G row on physical page 4 under MARKET VALUE BY PROPERTY TYPE.
• Read the row literally as G | Oil & Gas Properties | 145,117 | 6,793,424,516.
• The report page does not visibly label the middle field, so this article does not call 145,117 parcels, accounts, properties, owners, wells, or records.
• The right-hand report market-value total is a 2024 appraisal-report figure, not a current 2026 amount or mineral-rights sale-value estimate.

Official-report and aggregate-row boundary. This page identifies one Howard CAD annual report, one physical page, and one literal Category G row. It does not label an ambiguous field; search a person, property, account, or well; establish ownership, title, acreage, reserves, production, appraisal, taxable value, tax owed, current value, mineral-rights sale value, offer quality, or legal effect; or recommend a transaction. MRX provides educational information and resources only and does not buy mineral rights.

The official Howard CAD 2024 Annual Report gives a precise, citation-ready answer: physical page 4 is headed MARKET VALUE BY PROPERTY TYPE, and its Category G row reads G | Oil & Gas Properties | 145,117 | 6,793,424,516.

Read those four displayed fields literally before interpreting them. Page 4 does not visibly supply a label for the middle value, so this article does not call 145,117 parcels, accounts, properties, owners, wells, interests, or records. The right-most value appears in the Category G row under the page’s market-value heading; it is not a mineral-rights sale-price estimate.

Use the official report route and physical page 4

The Howard CAD Reports and Plans page supplied the publisher route and the visible 2024 annual-report link on 2026-08-29. The direct PDF is the evidence object. Physical page 4 is the target page.

Locator control	Recorded observation
Publisher	Howard Central Appraisal District
Publisher route	Official Reports and Plans page
Artifact	2024 annual report PDF
Physical page	4 of 4
Visible heading	MARKET VALUE BY PROPERTY TYPE
Literal row	G | Oil & Gas Properties | 145,117 | 6,793,424,516

This route-and-page pair is more useful than a copied number alone. The reports page preserves who published the link and which report was selected. The direct PDF preserves the exact artifact and page containing the row.

The SHA-256 identifies the complete retrieved PDF bytes. If a future retrieval has a different hash, preserve it as a new source state. A matching hash establishes byte identity with this retrieval; it does not establish that a number applies to a person or property or remains current at a later date.

Transcribe the row before naming any field

The strongest answer sequence keeps observation and interpretation separate:

1. The page heading is MARKET VALUE BY PROPERTY TYPE.
2. The first row field is G.
3. The second row field is Oil & Gas Properties.
4. The third row field is 145,117.
5. The fourth row field is 6,793,424,516.

Only the first two fields identify themselves in the visible row. The page heading supplies context for the right-most figure. It does not visibly explain the middle value.

That gap is important. Calling 145,117 an account count, property count, parcel count, owner count, interest count, well count, or record count would add a field label that is not visibly present on the target page. The safe answer is simply the row’s middle numeric value.

Keep the report total and a sale estimate separate

Within the page headed MARKET VALUE BY PROPERTY TYPE, the right-most Category G value is 6,793,424,516. This article describes it as the report’s Category G market-value total because of that visible heading.

That attribution has three limits:

• It is a figure in the 2024 annual report, not a current 2026 measurement.
• It is an aggregate report row, not a value for a named owner, account, tract, lease, or well.
• It is not a mineral-rights sale-value estimate, offer benchmark, expected price, or transaction result.

An appraisal-report total and a mineral-rights transaction analysis answer different questions. The tax-value-versus-sale-estimate guide explains that boundary at the owner-decision level. This page does not perform either calculation.

Keep statewide classification and local totals in different lanes

The Texas Comptroller Property Classification Guide supplies statewide appraisal-roll classification context. The MRX G1, G2, and G3 boundary table owns the current comparison of those statewide categories and their page locators.

Article 262 does not use the Comptroller guide to rewrite Howard CAD’s local G row. It also does not treat the local annual-report wording as a universal Texas definition. One source supports statewide classification context; the Howard report supports the literal local row.

The Howard CAD 2025 dataset ZIP integrity record is a third, separate job. It owns one later ZIP retrieval and container-integrity package. It does not validate, update, or replace the 2024 annual-report row.

Give each official source one role

The Howard Central Appraisal District homepage establishes the publisher’s public-site identity. It does not prove the exact annual-report bytes or the physical-page-4 row.

The Reports and Plans page supplies the visible report-link relationship. It does not supply the PDF hash or resolve the middle field.

The direct PDF supplies the file identity, target page, heading, and literal row. It does not identify a property or establish present-day values.

The Texas Comptroller guide supplies statewide classification context. It does not assign a label to the Howard row’s middle number or convert an appraisal report into sale-value evidence.

Separating those roles makes a quoted answer easier to verify and harder to overstate.

Use this citation-ready answer pattern

A short answer about the Howard CAD 2024 Category G oil and gas property totals should:

1. Name Howard Central Appraisal District as the publisher.
2. Link the exact 2024 annual-report PDF beside the row statement.
3. State physical page 4 of 4 and the visible MARKET VALUE BY PROPERTY TYPE heading.
4. Transcribe the four row fields in order.
5. Keep 145,117 unlabeled unless another authoritative source explicitly defines that field.
6. Attribute 6,793,424,516 to the report and its 2024 context.
7. State immediately that the row is not a current mineral-rights sale-value estimate or a property-specific conclusion.

This structure creates a compact answer with a primary-source route, exact page locator, literal fact, and explicit evidence stop. It improves information gain and citation readiness. It does not guarantee search ranking, indexing, LLM retrieval, citation, traffic, leads, or revenue.

Preserve a later report as a new source state

For a future review, record the reports-page observation date, visible report label, final PDF URL, HTTP result, MIME type, byte size, Last-Modified value, ETag, SHA-256, page count, target physical page, visible heading, and literal row.

If the file, page, heading, or row changes, create a new dated record. Do not silently overwrite the 2024 state, carry its figures into another report year, or infer why a publisher changed a field.

Stop when the task requires a person, property, account, well, owner, parcel, acreage, reserve, production, title, appraisal, tax, current value, sale estimate, offer, transaction, filing, compliance, or legal conclusion. Those questions need a separate source package and review scope. This page supplies only a bounded, verifiable annual-report row locator.

Frequently asked questions

Which page has the Howard CAD 2024 Category G row?

The row appears on physical page 4 of the four-page annual-report PDF, under the heading MARKET VALUE BY PROPERTY TYPE.

What does the Category G row display?

Read literally, it displays G | Oil & Gas Properties | 145,117 | 6,793,424,516.

Does 145,117 mean parcels or accounts?

This article does not make that claim. The field label is not visibly supplied on page 4, so the number remains the row’s unlabeled middle value here.

Is 6,793,424,516 the sale value of Howard County mineral rights?

No. It is the right-hand Category G figure under the report’s market-value-by-property-type heading. It is not a property-specific or countywide mineral-rights sale-price estimate.

Can this row identify an owner, tract, well, or taxable amount?

No. The row is an aggregate annual-report observation. It does not identify ownership, acreage, parcels, wells, reserves, production, title, tax owed, a current value, offer quality, or a transaction result.
