Planning a hunt near Plaska? A useful Hall County hunting map combines two sources: public areas from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and private lines from the county. Covered here for Hall County: where public hunting land is mapped, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and how to ask for permission.

The viewer Hall County publishes

Deeds, plats and who keeps them
When the details count, request the recorded deed from the County Clerk; the viewer just points to it, which applies near Memphis as much as anywhere. For property near Lakeview, have ready the instrument number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Using it on a phone
