When a deed near Gustine says lot and block, you'll need the Comanche plat map to make sense of it. What this town guide covers: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet around Lamkin.
Tracking down the Comanche plat map
For a subdivision near De Leon, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; that makes the request quick.
Getting to the right map
Your first stop is the Comanche CAD interactive map; it covers every tax parcel in the county, Lamkin included. With a lot near De Leon, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For a tract near De Leon, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Comanche and the county around it
Comanche lies within Comanche County, Texas, so its parcels are on the county's map. Comanche is also the county seat, which puts the County Clerk close by. For a parcel near Lamkin, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits out by Lamkin usually answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Plat map vs. parcel map
The tax map on the Comanche CAD interactive map is a summary, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Neighboring parcel maps
Comanche County touches Brown County, Eastland County, Erath County, Hamilton County, and Mills County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near De Leon can be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map as well. If the land is near Lamkin, our state page lists every neighboring county map for Texas.
Metes and bounds instead
Rural land near Gustine that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land near Lamkin.
Limits of the parcel data
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real lines for a parcel near Lamkin. Records update in batches, so a recent sale near Gustine might lag behind.
Details on the Comanche plat map
Closer to De Leon, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the parcel map near De Leon only summarizes it. Long-held tracts near Lamkin may trace back through a long string of deeds, and a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
Getting answers from the right desk
For assessment questions about property around Gustine go to the appraisal district, since that office keeps the assessment data. Building or septic questions for a lot near Gustine need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Reading the legal description
Older tracts around De Leon commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Platted lots around Gustine usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Gustine when you talk to a surveyor.

Using it on a phone
