Howard CAD 2026 Certified Mineral Roll ZIP: 16-Member PACS Export Container Index

Direct answer for mineral owners

Howard CAD’s official downloads page links a 5,251,974-byte 2026 Certified Mineral Roll ZIP with SHA-256 df5c059383a306732b4979cb7d16d395f44239952ad819bf92c20b63697d3b84. Its outer directory contains 16 unencrypted members: 13 root TXT files, two XLSX layout files, and one unopened nested layout ZIP. This index does not extract or read any member or establish a property, owner, appraisal, tax, or sale value.

Key takeaways for mineral owners

• The official Howard CAD downloads page visibly links the 2026 Certified Mineral Roll ZIP.
• The exact outer ZIP contains 16 unencrypted file members and passed an unzip integrity test.
• Thirteen members are root TXT files; three additional layout artifacts sit under one folder path.
• The member names use two export-ID prefixes, 001893 and 001892, whose meanings are not inferred here.
• No TXT, XLSX, or nested-ZIP member was extracted, opened, parsed, searched, or quoted.

Outer-container and no-extraction boundary. This page records one Howard CAD publisher link, one complete 2026 ZIP retrieval, and outer central-directory metadata. It does not extract, open, parse, search, quote, count, or reproduce any TXT, XLSX, or nested-ZIP content, row, cell, person, address, account, property, operator, lease, well, royalty, or value. It does not establish ownership, title, acreage, appraisal, tax, mineral-rights sale value, offer quality, or legal effect. MRX provides educational information and resources only and does not buy mineral rights.

The official Howard CAD downloads page visibly linked 2026 Certified Mineral Roll to a 5,251,974-byte ZIP with SHA-256 df5c059383a306732b4979cb7d16d395f44239952ad819bf92c20b63697d3b84 on 2026-08-29. Its outer central directory contained exactly 16 unencrypted file members: 13 root TXT filenames, two XLSX layout filenames, and one nested layout ZIP filename. An unzip -t check reported no compressed-data errors.

Those facts identify the retrieved container. They do not show what any member says or whether a row is accurate, complete, current, public, or relevant to a person or property.

Preserve the publisher link and exact ZIP together

The visible downloads page supplies the relationship between Howard CAD, the 2026 Certified Mineral Roll label, and the direct file URL. The exact Howard CAD ZIP supplies the bytes and HTTP controls.

Retrieval control	Recorded value
HTTP result	200
Content type	application/zip
Content length	5,251,974 bytes
Last-Modified	Wed, 29 Jul 2026 18:54:53 GMT
ETag	6a6a4c7d-502386
Range support	bytes
SHA-256	df5c059383a306732b4979cb7d16d395f44239952ad819bf92c20b63697d3b84

A later retrieval with another hash is a different source state. A matching hash proves byte identity with this retrieval, not accuracy, completeness, authorship, or legal effect.

Index the 16 outer members without reading them

Only filenames and outer central-directory metadata were inspected.

Outer-member group	Count	Recorded boundary
Root TXT filenames beginning 2026-07-20_001893_	11	Names and stored sizes only; content not read
Root TXT filenames beginning 2026-07-20_001892_	2	Names and stored sizes only; content not read
XLSX layout filenames under PACS Export Layout 2026/	2	Members not extracted or opened
Nested ZIP filename under PACS Export Layout 2026/	1	Nested archive not extracted, opened, or inventoried
Total	16	Outer directory only

The two numeric prefixes are literal filename observations. This evidence does not establish what either ID means, why both appear, whether they represent different scopes, or how they should be combined.

Keep container and member sizes distinct

The outer directory reports 311,427,162 uncompressed bytes and 5,248,346 compressed bytes across its 16 members. The complete ZIP is 5,251,974 bytes. These are three different controls.

The complete ZIP includes container structures in addition to compressed member data. The uncompressed total is not a row count, record count, owner count, property count, or measure of completeness.

Three TXT members report zero uncompressed bytes: the filenames ending APPRAISAL_UDI.TXT, APPRAISAL_LAND_DETAIL.TXT, and APPRAISAL_MOBILE_HOME_INFO.TXT, all under prefix 001893. Their empty stored state is recorded without explaining it. It does not prove that a field, category, property type, or record is absent from another member or system.

Treat the nested ZIP as an unopened outer member

The outer directory contains PACS Export Layout 2026/PACS Export Layout 2026.zip. The directory records a compressed size of 106,163 bytes and the same uncompressed size. It is stored rather than deflated, is unencrypted, and has outer CRC 18debc6f.

That is the complete permitted statement about the nested archive. Do not infer its internal filenames, schemas, instructions, versions, or relationship to the two XLSX layout members. A separate internal inventory would require a separately reviewed evidence job.

Use the integrity test for its narrow purpose

The outer unzip -t test reported no errors in the compressed data. That result checks the retrieved archive against its stored ZIP structures and CRCs. It does not validate the meaning, accuracy, completeness, currency, privacy status, or legal significance of any member content.

Likewise, SHA-256 fingerprints the complete ZIP bytes. CRC values support narrower member-integrity checks. Neither control establishes an owner, property, value, tax amount, or transaction fact.

Keep the REST page identity separate

The Howard CAD REST record for page 4547 records page ID 4547, slug downloads, title Downloads, and modified_gmt value 2026-07-29T18:58:34. The exact JSON retrieval used here had SHA-256 630858f80bb9bf5fcc3eb315072c1578215f35967dba062b7602a492a8e2b46e.

That timestamp is REST metadata, not a visible publication date. The REST record supports source identity and refresh control; the public page supports the visible link label; the ZIP supports byte and container facts.

Separate the certified download from the live search disclaimer

The Howard CAD property-search page separately warns that displayed 2026 values are preliminary and subject to change before certification. No search was performed for this article.

Do not use that disclaimer to relabel the downloaded file, and do not use the ZIP’s certified-download label to override the live interface’s warning. They are different publisher surfaces with different evidence roles.

Keep the 2025 and 2026 container jobs separate

The Howard CAD 2025 ZIP integrity record owns a one-member XLSX container. This page owns the later 16-member outer archive with TXT and layout artifacts. Neither package silently updates or validates the other.

The Howard CAD 2024 Category G totals locator owns an aggregate annual-report row. It is not evidence for the ZIP structure or any property-specific conclusion.

Preserve a citation-ready answer and stop

A source-faithful answer about the Howard CAD 2026 certified mineral roll ZIP should name the publisher page, visible link label, observation date, direct URL, HTTP controls, complete-file hash, 16-member outer count, grouped filename inventory, aggregate sizes, unencrypted state, test result, and no-extraction boundary.

This structure improves claim-to-source clarity and answer-citation readiness. It does not guarantee ranking, indexing, retrieval, LLM citation, traffic, leads, or revenue.

Stop when a task requires member extraction, schema interpretation, row or owner research, property matching, title, acreage, appraisal, tax, market value, sale value, offer analysis, or legal effect. Those are separate evidence jobs.

Frequently asked questions

Where did the Howard CAD 2026 ZIP come from?

The official Howard CAD downloads page visibly linked its 2026 Certified Mineral Roll label to the exact howardcad.org ZIP recorded here.

How many members are in the outer ZIP?

The outer central directory contains 16 unencrypted file members: 13 root TXT files and three artifacts under the PACS Export Layout 2026 path.

Was any dataset member opened or searched?

No. This record stops at the publisher link, complete-ZIP controls, outer central-directory metadata, and a container integrity test.

What is known about the nested ZIP?

Only its outer-member filename, sizes, stored status, CRC, timestamp, and unencrypted state were recorded. Its internal members were not opened or inventoried.

Does this index prove a mineral owner, value, or tax amount?

No. Container metadata does not establish ownership, title, acreage, appraisal, tax, market value, mineral-rights sale value, offer quality, or legal effect.
