When a listing near Cross Timber mentions a lot number, the Burleson plat map is where those numbers come from. What this Burleson guide covers: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Who keeps the Burleson plat map
For a subdivision near Cross Timber, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
The viewer Johnson County publishes
Your first stop is the Johnson CAD map; it covers every assessed parcel around Keene and Joshua. Without an address in hand, follow Interstate 35W on the aerial and select the outline. With a lot near Keene, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
How land is described here
Tracts outside towns near Alvarado commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Platted lots around Coyote Flats usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Cross Timber before you request a deed or survey.
Metes and bounds instead

Which office to call

When a plat changes

Burleson and the county around it
Burleson is part of Johnson County, Texas, so its parcels are on the county's map. For a tract near Coyote Flats, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the town limits toward Keene often answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Alvarado, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Cross Timber with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.

The tax map on the Johnson CAD map is a summary, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
Lots, blocks and easements

Limits of the parcel data

Recorded documents worth pulling
