Midland CAD 2025-2026 Mineral Work Calendar: January 1 Snapshot to July Certification

Direct answer for mineral owners

Midland CAD’s plan prints mineral property valuation from January through May, notices in early May, reviews through July, and certification before July 25. The same document uses January 1 as the Texas valuation effective date. Treat the sequence as a plan, not proof that an event occurred or that an owner’s account is correct.

Key takeaways for mineral owners

• The official PDF is 5,779,473 bytes with SHA-256 eeb1406994514383da7c5c77a96225bfa0e5020e8c11d954f38bc1b675c74bf4.
• Physical page 69 prints the valuation contractor’s general annual work schedule, including mineral valuation from January through May.
• Physical page 102 says January 1 is the Texas effective date and that mineral interests are reappraised annually.
• Physical pages 103 and 105 name production, price, expense, RRC operator, ownership, and other data-source categories.
• A plan does not prove actual completion, a current deadline, an owner-specific value, or a certification result.

Official-plan locator, not an account result or deadline notice. This article records statements in Midland Central Appraisal District’s 2025-2026 Reappraisal Plan. It does not prove that a scheduled activity occurred, that a date remains operative, that a notice was mailed, that a hearing happened, that an account was certified, or that an owner’s appraisal, title, tax, protest, value, offer, or transaction result is correct. MRX provides educational information and resources only and does not buy mineral rights.

The direct answer is: the plan separates the valuation date from the work calendar. Physical page 69 prints Mineral Property Valuation: January-May, followed by planned notice, review, hearing, and certification windows. Physical page 102 says the Texas effective date is January 1 and that mineral interests are reappraised annually. Physical page 103 calls lien-date value a snapshot in time.

That sequence is useful for locating the document’s statements. It is not evidence that Midland CAD or its contractor completed every activity on the printed schedule, that an account received a correct notice, or that any date is a current owner deadline.

Direct answer: one valuation snapshot, several later work stages

Physical page	Printed locator	Controlled source statement	Safe use
1	Cover	Tax years 2025 and 2026; board approval printed as September 12, 2024	Identify the plan and its stated approval, not later performance
69	Visible page 69	Mineral valuation January-May; notices in early May; reviews and hearing through July; certification before July 25	Record the planned sequence, not proof of completion or an owner deadline
102	Contractor printed Page 18	January 1 effective date in Texas; mineral interests reappraised annually	Separate the valuation date from later appraisal work
103	Contractor printed Page 19	Production, price, and expense data categories; lien-date value described as a snapshot	Identify source categories and time framing, not an owner-level input set
105	Contractor printed Page 21	Monthly RRC operator data plus other discovery and ownership-information sources	Record the stated source routes, not completeness, title, or accuracy

The table is a locator. It does not join plan text to a particular account, notice, hearing, certification record, or appraisal result.

What the controlled PDF proves

The current Midland CAD Publications page links the official 2025-2026 Reappraisal Plan. The retrieved PDF is 5,779,473 bytes with SHA-256 eeb1406994514383da7c5c77a96225bfa0e5020e8c11d954f38bc1b675c74bf4.

The file has 159 physical pages, is unencrypted, and contains no embedded JavaScript. Its metadata records creation and modification on September 3, 2024. The cover prints tax years 2025 and 2026 and says the board approved the plan on September 12, 2024.

Those controls bind the retrieved bytes and page positions. They do not prove that the file was never replaced, that a schedule item occurred, that a notice was delivered, that an account was certified, or that a current district instruction matches the planning document.

The printed calendar on physical page 69

Physical page 69 is headed Valuation Contractor’s General Annual Work Schedule. It prints this sequence:

• field inspections and discovery from January through April;
• rendition review and processing from April through May;
• industrial personal valuation from January through May;
• mineral property valuation from January through May;
• utility listing and valuation from January through May;
• mail notices in the first week of May;
• informal valuation reviews from May through July;
• a formal ARB hearing in the first week of July; and
• certification of accounts before July 25.

These are the document’s labels and time windows. The page does not turn July 25 into an owner protest deadline, does not identify a particular account, and does not establish that a notice, review, hearing, or certification event occurred.

The page also places the calendar above a residential geographical listing. That neighboring content does not make the quadrant list a mineral-account locator. This article uses only the contractor calendar at the top of the page.

Why January 1 and January-May are not competing dates

Physical page 102 says that for Texas ad valorem tax work, the effective date is January 1. It also says appraisal and report dates are typically several months later and describes limited circumstances in which later information may confirm a trend or condition that existed and was generally known as of the effective date. The page separately says mineral interests are reappraised annually.

Physical page 103 then describes value at the lien date as a snapshot in time. Read together, those pages distinguish the date the value is tied to from the later work used to develop, review, notice, defend, and certify appraisal records.

Texas Tax Code Chapter 23 supplies statutory context for appraisal at market value as of January 1. Texas Tax Code Chapter 25 supplies periodic-reappraisal and appraisal-roll context. This article does not interpret those chapters, decide how later information should be treated for an account, or give owner-specific legal or tax guidance.

Source-data categories on physical pages 103 and 105

Physical page 103 says a common set of data characteristics for each mineral property includes historical production, price, and expense data. It names state agencies such as the Railroad Commission of Texas and Texas Comptroller, plus private firms that gather, format, and commercially repackage data.

Physical page 105 says the main source of property data is Railroad Commission data as reported by operators. It describes monthly receipt of updated and new well and production files. The page also names fieldwork, operator financial data, information from chief appraisers and tax assessors, trade publications, local newspapers, public reports of new wells, ownership information from pipeline purchasers or operators, and taxpayer-supplied deeds or correspondence.

That source list is not a completeness certification. It does not show which inputs were used for one account, whether an operator report was later corrected, whether ownership data is current, or whether a deed proves the interest someone thinks it proves. The Midland CAD Open Records route guide owns the separate job of locating request channels; this page owns only the source categories printed in the reappraisal plan.

A safe verification sequence

Use this sequence when the printed calendar matters to a current research question:

1. Bind the source. Save the Publications route, PDF URL, retrieval time, file size, SHA-256, and page count.
2. Use the physical and printed locators. The contractor appendix restarts its own printed page numbering, so cite both positions.
3. Label dates as plan text. Write “the plan prints” rather than “the district completed.”
4. Keep January 1 separate from the work window. One is the stated effective date; the other is a planned operating sequence.
5. Do not relabel July 25. The page calls it a certification timing line, not an owner protest deadline.
6. Ask for current instructions. Use Midland CAD’s current official channel for a present notice, deadline, hearing, or account-status question.
7. Request account-level evidence separately. A general plan cannot prove what data, corrections, or review occurred for one mineral interest.
8. Keep tax appraisal separate from private transaction value. The plan does not determine a private offer or sale result.
9. Preserve source limitations. An official source can still contain planning language, approximations, later-revised information, or facts that require account-level confirmation.

What the calendar does not answer

Unsupported conclusion	Separate evidence still required
A January-May valuation task was completed	Work record, contractor deliverable, district acceptance, and current confirmation
A notice was mailed in the first week of May	Account-specific notice, mailing record, address record, and issuer confirmation
July 25 is an owner filing deadline	Current notice, governing instruction, applicable law, and qualified review
A formal hearing occurred in early July	Docket, hearing notice, attendance record, order, and current ARB record
A particular account was certified	Certified-roll entry, account identity, version, as-of date, and district confirmation
The listed data sources were complete	Input inventory, data dates, corrections, exceptions, and account-level audit trail
A named person owns the mineral interest	Current title chain, recorded instruments, conveyance interpretation, and qualified review
A tax appraisal equals private market value	Interest, lease, production, risk, timing, buyer, market, and transaction evidence

Retrieval, originality, and creative evidence

The exact replacement title and slug were absent before implementation. The canonical generator identifies Howard CAD 2025-2026 Reappraisal Plan: Mineral Property Valuation Section Locator as the nearest current page at token-Jaccard 0.2000. That page owns a Howard CAD section locator. This article owns Midland CAD’s printed calendar-to-snapshot crosswalk and source-data boundary. The generic valuation-factors planning identity is not published.

Physical pages 69, 102, 103, and 105 were rendered and visually checked. The dark low-oblique hero and bright strict-overhead inline composition were independently generated. Deterministic typography adds the exact canonical title to the hero and the exact primary keyword to the inline image. The two source images and public WebPs are distinct binaries.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the Midland CAD mineral work calendar in the official plan?

Physical page 69, which is also visibly numbered 69, prints the valuation contractor’s general annual work schedule and lists Mineral Property Valuation from January through May.

Does January-through-May work change the January 1 valuation date?

The plan says January 1 is the Texas effective date and describes appraisal and reporting work that occurs later. This article records that distinction without deciding how a later fact applies to a specific account.

Is July 25 an owner protest deadline?

No conclusion like that follows from this calendar. The line says Certification of Accounts: Prior to July 25th. It does not label July 25 as an owner filing deadline.

Does the plan prove that an account was certified?

No. A general annual work schedule is planning evidence, not an account-level certification record or proof that a listed event occurred.

Which mineral data sources does the plan name?

It names historical production, price, and expense data; state agencies and private firms; monthly RRC data reported by operators; operator financial data; taxpayer-supplied ownership material; and other discovery sources. The list does not prove completeness for an account.
