Finding a lot on the Gun Barrel City GIS map
Parcel maps here are usually run by the county, not the town, so for Gun Barrel City the go-to is the Henderson CAD interactive map.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Henderson CAD interactive map; it maps each tax parcel in the county, Payne Springs included. Closer to Enchanted Oaks, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. Near Mabank, save the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county asks for it first.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Tool, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Payne Springs keeps working without signal.
Land on the county line
Henderson County meets Anderson County, Cherokee County, Ellis County, Freestone County, and Kaufman County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Eustace can show up across two assessors' files, so open the adjacent map too. If you're looking near Tool, our state page lists every neighboring county map for Texas.
Legal descriptions in Texas

When the map won't load
