Questions

Who is the largest landowner in Texas?

On county property records, TEXAS PACIFIC RESOURCES LLC holds the most land in Texas: 673,810 acres across 886 parcels in 11 counties.

How much land do the largest landowners in Texas hold?

The 50 institutions on this list hold 7,522,852 acres between them. 5 of them are public bodies, such as the state, cities and agencies.

Why are no individuals on this list?

Deedlines ranks companies, trusts held by companies and government agencies only. A public ranking of private people by the land they own would be a list of where they live, so individuals are never ranked.

Where do these numbers come from?

From the assessor files of 253 Texas counties, the same records behind each county's tax roll. Acreage is what the assessor records; a survey can differ, and a company filed under two spellings counts as two names.
