Martin CAD 2025 Category G Row: Oil & Gas Parcel Count and Market-Value Boundary

Direct answer for mineral owners

The official Martin CAD 2025 Summary/Mass Appraisal Report places its property-type table across physical pages 1 and 2. On physical page 2, the Oil & Gas (G*) row displays a parcel count of 191,742 and market value of $24,541,668,989. Those figures are report-level aggregates for the displayed property type. They do not identify a reader, count owners or mineral interests, state a tax bill, or estimate a mineral-rights sale value or offer.

Key takeaways for mineral owners

• The Martin CAD Data and Records page displays a 2025 link under Mass Appraisal Reports.
• The exact linked file is a six-page scanned PDF; manual renders control the visible page-level observations.
• Physical page 2 displays the Oil & Gas (G*) aggregate row with parcel count 191,742 and market value $24,541,668,989.
• The table begins on physical page 1, so the page-2 row should be preserved with its report and table context.
• The aggregate row does not establish ownership, a property-specific appraisal, a tax bill, or a mineral-rights transaction value.

Aggregate-report boundary. This page records the official publisher relationship, one exact six-page scanned report, complete-file controls, and visible observations from manually reviewed physical pages 1 and 2. It does not identify a reader or property, count owners or mineral interests, decide title, state a tax bill, estimate a mineral-rights sale value or offer, forecast production or royalties, or interpret legal or tax requirements. Physical pages 3 through 6 are outside the public claim set. MRX provides educational information and resources only and does not buy mineral rights.

The Martin CAD Data and Records page displays a 2025 link under Mass Appraisal Reports. The exact linked 2025 Summary/Mass Appraisal Report places its property-type table across physical pages 1 and 2.

On physical page 2, the row labeled Oil & Gas (G*) displays 191,742 under the parcel-count column and $24,541,668,989 under the market-value column. Those are report-level aggregates for the displayed property type. They are not a count of owners or mineral interests, a reader-specific appraisal, a tax bill, or a mineral-rights sale estimate.

Direct answer: preserve the row with its report-level boundary

Use four linked fields when citing the row:

Evidence field	Recorded observation	Safe use	Unsafe conversion
Publisher route	Martin CAD displays a 2025 link under Mass Appraisal Reports	Establish the observed publisher-to-file relationship	Treat the link label as proof that every report statement applies to a reader
Report identity	Six-page Martin County Appraisal District 2025 Summary/Mass Appraisal Report	Bind the row to one exact file	Treat a file title or hash as validation of a property conclusion
Physical-page locator	The property-type table starts on physical page 1 and continues on physical page 2	Preserve the row’s table context	Quote the page-2 numbers without identifying their table role
Category G row	Oil & Gas (G*) shows parcel count 191,742 and market value $24,541,668,989	Report the two displayed aggregate fields together	Convert the row into owner count, interest count, tax, sale value, offer, or forecast

This structure answers the locator question directly and prevents the two numbers from losing their source role when copied into notes, summaries, search results, or answer systems.

Bind the observation to the exact scanned report

The file observed on August 29, 2026 has these complete-file controls:

A later download can change. Preserve a new retrieval date, response result, byte count, hash, page count, and manual-render observations instead of silently replacing the earlier record.

The lack of embedded text matters. This is a scanned report, so PDF extraction does not independently recover the visible wording or figures. OCR can help find a candidate page, but the manually reviewed renders control the public observations.

Read physical page 1 before using the physical-page-2 row

Physical page 1 was rendered and manually reviewed. Its render SHA-256 is 339368372b02541510c21ad4152744effc4e66af771737d27c98a7d2214d267e.

The page visibly identifies:

• MARTIN COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT;
• 2025 SUMMARY/MASS APPRAISAL REPORT;
• an introduction and purpose section;
• an ad valorem taxation purpose for the report’s appraised values;
• a 2025 total-parcel and total-market-value statement; and
• the start of a property-type list with its displayed counts and market values.

These observations establish the document and table context. This article does not reproduce the report’s definition in full or independently interpret appraisal law. The important boundary is narrower: the table belongs to a mass-appraisal report prepared for the stated property-tax purpose.

The Texas Comptroller’s Valuing Property page supplies current statewide context about appraisal districts, market value, and mass appraisal. That context helps explain the public role of an appraisal report. It does not verify the Martin row or transform a countywide property-type aggregate into a transaction value for one mineral owner.

Locate the Category G row on physical page 2

Physical page 2 was separately rendered and manually reviewed. Its render SHA-256 is 5574715dc3974a20d4eae0b816f6c9a80e97d2cfb43922d16ffbff5b4644025e.

The continued property-type table visibly contains this row:

Displayed property type	Displayed parcel count	Displayed market value
Oil & Gas (G*)	191,742	$24,541,668,989

Keep all three fields together. A number without its property-type label can drift into a false total, and a value without the parcel-count column can appear to be a single-property figure.

The report’s table also contains other property-type rows, but this article does not inventory them. Its canonical job is the Category G locator and interpretation boundary. The Howard CAD Category G totals locator owns a different county, year, report, table, and source chain. The Karnes CAD Category G crosswalk owns a two-table distinction in another report. Neither supplies evidence about Martin County.

Do not convert parcel count into owner or interest count

The row’s column is labeled as a parcel count. The source does not say that the figure equals the number of:

• mineral owners;
• mineral interests;
• royalty interests;
• producing leases;
• wells;
• tax accounts;
• division-order payees; or
• potential mineral-rights transactions.

Those categories can use different units and relationships. One owner can be associated with more than one parcel. One parcel can involve more than one interest or owner. The report row alone does not supply the mapping needed to move between those categories.

Record the literal source unit: parcel count. If a separate official source defines a different unit, preserve that source, date, scope, and definition as another claim. Do not merge the two simply because their numbers appear related.

Do not convert aggregate market value into a sale value or offer

The physical-page-2 figure is the market-value column for the report’s aggregate Oil & Gas (G*) row. It is not the following:

• a per-parcel value;
• a price per net mineral acre;
• a royalty forecast;
• a discounted-cash-flow result;
• a mineral-rights purchase offer;
• a tax bill;
• a closing amount; or
• proof of what any reader owns.

Even the phrase market value must remain attached to the report and its stated appraisal purpose. A mineral-rights transaction can involve title, decimal ownership, lease terms, production history, deductions, timing, development assumptions, buyer criteria, and other evidence that this aggregate row does not provide.

If the practical question is about a specific appraisal or tax record, use the current Texas Comptroller local property-appraisal directory to locate the applicable appraisal district or tax office. The directory is routing evidence. It does not interpret the Martin report or provide a transaction opinion.

Separate provenance from validity

Provenance answers where an observation came from. Validity asks whether that observation is correct and fit for a particular use. The URL, file hash, page number, and render hash strengthen provenance. They do not establish title, ownership, appraisal accuracy, transaction value, or legal effect.

Build an aggregate-row evidence record

Use a short record that another reviewer can reproduce without opening unrelated pages:

1. Record the publisher-page URL, section heading, displayed link, and retrieval date.
2. Record the exact PDF URL, byte count, SHA-256, page count, geometry, encryption state, and rotation.
3. Record the physical-page-1 render hash and the report identity, purpose, and table-start observations.
4. Record the physical-page-2 render hash and the Category G row’s label, parcel count, and market value.
5. Label the figures report-level aggregate and preserve the literal parcel count unit.
6. List the forbidden conversions: owner count, interest count, property-specific appraisal, tax bill, sale value, offer, title, production, royalty, and legal or tax result.
7. Keep physical pages 3 through 6 outside the claim set unless a later article establishes a separate reviewed purpose and evidence boundary.
8. Add any later publisher correction as a new dated source rather than rewriting the original observation.

This compact record gives search and answer systems a clear statement, exact source path, stable claim identifiers, and explicit limitations. It does not guarantee indexing, ranking, retrieval, or citation by any search engine or language model.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the Martin CAD 2025 Category G row appear?

The property-type table starts on physical page 1 of the six-page 2025 Summary/Mass Appraisal Report and continues on physical page 2. The Oil & Gas (G*) row appears on physical page 2.

What does the Oil & Gas (G*) row display?

The manually reviewed physical-page-2 render displays parcel count 191,742 and market value $24,541,668,989 for the report’s Oil & Gas (G*) property-type row.

Does 191,742 mean there were that many mineral owners?

No. The source labels the figure as a parcel count within a property-type table. This article does not convert it into an owner count, mineral-interest count, or account count.

Is the reported market value a mineral-rights sale estimate?

No. The report describes an ad valorem mass-appraisal purpose. The aggregate table figure is not a reader-specific property appraisal, sale estimate, purchase offer, royalty forecast, or tax bill.

Why is automated PDF text not the controlling evidence?

The PDF is scanned image-only and returned no embedded text during extraction. Manual page renders control the visible report title, table placement, labels, and figures. Automated OCR may assist navigation but is not validation.
