Martin CAD 2025-26 Reappraisal Plan: Mineral Work and the Separate P&A Plan

Direct answer for mineral owners

Martin CAD’s 2025-2026 general reappraisal plan directs readers to physical and printed page 15 for a separate-plan handoff. That page says Martin CAD contracts with Pritchard & Abbott for mineral, industrial, utility, and related personal-property appraisal work and that a 2025-2026 P&A plan is on file for those areas. This is a source-routing observation, not validation of either plan or a property-specific conclusion.

Key takeaways for mineral owners

• Martin CAD’s Data and Records page separately lists a 2025-2026 general Reappraisal Plan and a 2025-2026 MIUP Appraisal Plan.
• The exact general-plan PDF is an 18-page scanned file with no extractable text layer; manual page renders control the observations.
• Physical and printed page 15 states the contractor-plan handoff for mineral, industrial, utility, and related personal-property work.
• The page does not name a public file, so the separately linked MIUP PDF must not be silently treated as the exact on-file plan without issuer confirmation.
• The handoff does not prove ownership, title, contractor performance, a property appraisal, tax result, mineral-rights sale value, offer, production, or royalty outcome.

Source-routing boundary. This page records an official publisher relationship, one exact scanned general-plan PDF, and visible observations from five manually reviewed pages. It reports what the plan says; it does not independently interpret current law, validate either plan, assess contractor performance, establish title or ownership, appraise a property, state a tax result, estimate a mineral-rights sale value or offer, forecast production or royalties, or substitute for professional legal or tax guidance. MRX provides educational information and resources only and does not buy mineral rights.

The Martin CAD Data and Records page separately displays a 2025 - 2026 Reappraisal Plan link and a 2025 - 2026 MIUP Appraisal Plan link under Reappraisal Plans. The exact linked general reappraisal plan is an 18-page scanned PDF.

The direct answer is on physical and printed page 15. Under MINERAL, INDUSTRIAL, UTILITY, AND RELATED PERSONAL PROPERTY, the general plan says Martin CAD contracts with Pritchard & Abbott for appraisal work in those areas and says a 2025-2026 Pritchard & Abbott reappraisal plan is on file for the areas for which that contractor is responsible. Treat that as a source-attributed handoff to a separate plan. Do not assume that the separately linked MIUP PDF is the exact on-file plan unless Martin CAD explicitly confirms the identity.

Direct answer: record the handoff, not an inferred file match

Use four separate fields when carrying the page-15 observation into research notes, search results, or an answer system:

Evidence field	Recorded observation	Safe use	Unsafe conversion
Publisher route	Martin CAD separately lists a general plan and an MIUP plan	Establish the observed publisher-to-file relationships	Treat adjacent links as proof that two references identify the same file
General-plan locator	Physical and printed page 15 contains the mineral-work heading	Route a reader to the exact visible section	Cite a section without preserving the controlling PDF and page render
Contractor-plan handoff	Page 15 says Martin CAD contracts with Pritchard & Abbott in listed appraisal areas and says a P&A plan is on file	Report what the general plan says	Validate the contract, plan, performance, or application to an account
Exact-file identity	The public MIUP PDF is separately linked	Preserve it as an adjacent source	Silently equate it with the unspecified on-file plan

That separation creates information gain beyond another Martin County valuation guide. It answers which source contains the handoff, where the wording appears, and which identity question remains unresolved.

Bind the observation to one exact scanned file

The general plan retrieved on August 29, 2026 has these complete-file controls:

Control	Observed result
Publisher page	https://martincad.org/home/DataRecords
Displayed link	2025 - 2026 Reappraisal Plan
PDF bytes	1,014,454
PDF SHA-256	344e62cc7374b4b0b83071e94f53a5ce190055c7217d899e17dfd940d31e813d

Extracted text	Zero characters on all 18 pages

Physical and printed page 1 was rendered and manually reviewed. Its render SHA-256 is 5f9dd7030418351808a96fa7c0f7ee857282883240d9ccc2c0bb55665bd85548. The cover visibly identifies a Martin CAD S.B. 1652 Biennial Reappraisal Plan for tax years 2025-2026 and displays Adopted 8/29/2024.

A file hash and page render prove that later reviewers are discussing the same retrieved bytes and visible page. They do not prove that every statement is correct today, that the file is complete for every purpose, or that a statement applies to a particular property. If the publisher changes a file or link, preserve a new retrieval date, byte count, hash, page count, and render record instead of silently replacing the earlier evidence.

Let manual renders control a scanned source

Programmatic extraction returned zero characters for every page. That result is NON-VALIDATING: it establishes that text extraction cannot support quotations or page navigation here. It does not mean the pages are blank or unreadable.

The controlling observations come from separate page renders:

• physical/printed page 1, render SHA-256 5f9dd7030418351808a96fa7c0f7ee857282883240d9ccc2c0bb55665bd85548, for plan identity and adoption date;
• physical/printed page 4, render SHA-256 75fefeb12654a7244912ceef746e1fc8bc8af5276a5352ddcdaadabaa9f115b6, for the general-plan property-scope heading and three-year-cycle statement;
• physical/printed page 15, render SHA-256 49dcab6af4c231b9ca4e9ae134d65dc25e420c9510a1f53511df14076b157f14, for the mineral-work and separate-plan handoff;
• physical/printed page 16, render SHA-256 0a378b6525a31c6638f70e49a209d7d790e21adef6e42ed611c4c0c12c52b4ef, for one visible adoption-resolution page; and
• physical/printed page 17, render SHA-256 d9e4fb621f8f3f246e783fc8e150cc49c5c77c15b03490e229da5bb2f3f9304e, for the second visible resolution page and August 29, 2024 context.

The physical and printed numbers align in this scan. Preserve both anyway. The dual locator makes the record reproducible if a later viewer inserts a cover sheet or the publisher replaces the PDF.

Separate the general plan from the contractor plan

Physical and printed page 4 visibly names a residential, commercial, rural, and personal property 2025/2026 reappraisal plan and describes a three-year-cycle framework. That page supplies general-plan scope. It does not supply the separate contractor plan’s mineral methodology.

Physical and printed page 15 then introduces a different source lane. The heading includes mineral, industrial, utility, and related personal property. The paragraph says, in substance, that Martin CAD contracts with Pritchard & Abbott for appraisal work in those areas and that a 2025-2026 Pritchard & Abbott plan is on file for the responsible areas.

Record that relationship as SOURCE-ATTRIBUTED. The paragraph does not attach a filename, URL, file hash, page count, version, or adoption record for the referenced plan. It also does not identify a property or account. Those absences are part of the evidence boundary, not blanks to fill with inference.

The Texas Comptroller’s Valuing Property page supplies current general context about appraisal districts, appraisal dates, mass appraisal, and valuation approaches. It does not validate the Martin contractor-plan handoff, identify which plan controls an account, or convert the general statement into a property-specific appraisal or tax conclusion.

Do not silently equate the public MIUP PDF with the on-file plan

The publisher page separately links a 2025-2026 MIUP appraisal plan. That is a useful adjacent source because it is a public Pritchard & Abbott plan published by Martin CAD for the same two tax years.

It is not enough to assert exact identity. Page 15 of the general plan says a Pritchard & Abbott plan is on file, but it does not name the MIUP acronym, the public filename, the public URL, or a hash. Preserve these as two observations:

1. the general plan states that a separate Pritchard & Abbott plan is on file; and
2. the publisher page separately exposes a 2025-2026 MIUP plan.

If exact identity matters, route the question to the issuer and record the reply as new dated evidence. The Texas Comptroller county directory can route a current local appraisal or tax question to the applicable office. The directory itself does not identify the referenced plan or interpret it.

Do not turn the source route into a property conclusion

The page-15 handoff does not show:

• which appraiser worked on a particular account;
• whether the account appears in the listed category;
• the current owner, legal description, tract, or decimal interest;
• whether a mineral interest is leased, producing, suspended, or unleased;
• which methods, data, assumptions, or dates were used for a property;
• whether a notice, appraisal, protest, or tax calculation is correct;
• whether a contractor met a performance or legal standard; or
• a mineral-rights sale value, offer, royalty forecast, production result, or recommended action.

Those questions require different records and, when interpretation is needed, qualified professionals. A document route helps identify which source to inspect next. It does not decide the underlying property question.

Separate provenance from validity

Claim ID	Evidence label	Source role	Supported observation
C279-01	VERIFIED-OBSERVATION	Martin CAD publisher page	General and MIUP plan links are separately displayed under Reappraisal Plans.
C279-02	VERIFIED-OBSERVATION	Exact general-plan retrieval	File bytes, SHA-256, page count, geometry, encryption state, and PDF version.
C279-03	NON-VALIDATING	Programmatic extraction	Zero extracted characters on every page; manual renders control.
C279-04	VERIFIED-OBSERVATION	Physical/printed page 1	Plan identity, tax years, and visible adoption date.
C279-05	VERIFIED-OBSERVATION	Physical/printed page 4	General-plan property-scope heading and stated three-year cycle.
C279-06	SOURCE-ATTRIBUTED	Physical/printed page 15	Contractor and separate-plan-on-file handoff stated by the plan.
C279-07	VERIFIED-OBSERVATION	Physical/printed pages 16-17	Visible adoption-resolution context and date.
C279-08	ADJACENT-SOURCE	Public MIUP PDF	A separately linked Pritchard & Abbott plan identity, not an asserted exact match.
C279-09	CONTEXT-ONLY	Texas Comptroller Valuing Property page	Current general appraisal-district context.
C279-10	ROUTING-ONLY	Texas Comptroller county directory	Route local questions to the applicable office.

Provenance answers where a statement came from. Validity asks whether the statement is correct, current, complete, and fit for a specific use. Publisher URLs, file hashes, page locators, and render hashes strengthen provenance. They do not establish exact cross-file identity, current law, contractor performance, ownership, appraisal accuracy, tax liability, transaction value, or legal effect.

Build a reusable two-plan evidence record

Use this compact record when another person or system must reproduce the handoff:

1. Record the publisher-page URL, Reappraisal Plans heading, both displayed link labels, and retrieval date.
2. Record the exact general-plan URL, byte count, SHA-256, page count, geometry, encryption state, and version.
3. Record that extraction returned zero characters and that manual renders control.
4. Record physical/printed pages 1, 4, 15, 16, and 17 with their separate render hashes.
5. Label the page-15 contractor and on-file-plan wording SOURCE-ATTRIBUTED.
6. Record the public MIUP URL as ADJACENT-SOURCE, not as an exact-file match.
7. Add the unresolved question: Does Martin CAD confirm that the public MIUP PDF is the exact plan referenced on page 15?
8. Add the forbidden conclusions: current-law interpretation, contractor performance, plan validation, title, ownership, property appraisal, tax result, sale value, offer, production, royalty, and property-specific advice.

This record gives search and answer systems a direct answer, stable claim identifiers, reproducible source locators, and a visible unresolved identity boundary. It does not guarantee indexing, rankings, retrieval, traffic, leads, or citation by any search engine or language model.

Keep adjacent Martin CAD jobs separate

The Martin CAD MIUP plan guide owns the MIUP plan’s interest-versus-minerals terminology boundary. It does not establish that the MIUP PDF is the exact on-file plan referenced by the general plan.

The Martin CAD 2025 Category G row guide owns one aggregate mass-appraisal-report row and its parcel-count and market-value limits. It does not identify the responsible plan or contractor for a property.

The Martin CAD 2026 mineral archive conflict guide owns a Certified-versus-PRELIMINARY label conflict in a different archive. It does not supply evidence about the 2025-2026 plan handoff. These boundaries prevent related Martin sources from becoming duplicate county-value pages.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the Martin CAD general plan discuss mineral appraisal work?

The relevant heading appears on physical and printed page 15 of the 18-page scanned 2025-2026 general reappraisal plan.

What does page 15 say about Pritchard & Abbott?

It says Martin CAD contracts with Pritchard & Abbott for mineral, industrial, utility, and related personal-property appraisal work and that a 2025-2026 Pritchard & Abbott plan is on file for the responsible areas.

Does page 15 prove the website’s MIUP PDF is the exact on-file plan?

No. The publisher page separately displays a MIUP plan link, but page 15 does not name that URL or file. Preserve the two observations separately unless the issuer explicitly confirms the identity.

Does the contractor-plan handoff prove who appraised a specific mineral account?

No. The general statement does not identify an account, property, owner, work record, appraisal action, or contractor-performance result.

Can this plan route determine a mineral-rights sale value or offer?

No. It supplies no property-specific ownership, acreage, lease, production, deduction, buyer, underwriting, title, or transaction evidence.

Use the Texas mineral-rights hub for statewide context, the Martin CAD MIUP plan guide for its separate terminology job, or book a review when a property-specific question needs its own evidence lane.
