When a deed near Sunray says lot and block, the Dumas plat map is where those numbers come from. This Dumas guide covers: where to request a copy, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Tracking down the Dumas plat map
For a subdivision near Cactus, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; that makes the request quick.
The free map to start with
Your first stop is the appraisal district interactive map; it maps each assessed parcel around Sunray and Fritch. If you only know roughly where the land is, zoom in from Cactus until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. For acreage around Fritch, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Where Dumas fits in
Dumas lies within Moore County, Texas, which means parcel data comes from the county. As the county seat, Dumas hosts the courthouse, which puts the County Clerk close by. Local government in Dumas handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Land beyond the city limits near Sunray often falls under county rules rather than the town's.
How land is described here
Rural deeds near Cactus are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Subdivision lots in Sunray refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Cactus before you request a deed or survey.
Two different maps
Where lines don't match in Dumas, trust the recorded documents over the GIS layer.
When a plat changes

The paper trail behind a parcel
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the viewer just points to it, which applies near Fritch as much as anywhere. Older tracts near Cactus may sit on several deeds, so a title company can sort it out on a real sale.

On site with the map

When there's no plat

Ordering the Dumas plat map
In and around Cactus, some counties put plat images online, otherwise call or visit with the reference; small fees are common.
Limits of the parcel data
Listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines for a parcel near Cactus. For a home near Cactus, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
