Buying a lot in a subdivision near LaCoste? Start with the Hondo plat map, since it shows lots, streets and easements as approved. In this Hondo guide: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
The Hondo plat map: start here
For a subdivision near San Antonio, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; use it to request a copy.
Getting to the right map
Your first stop is the appraisal district interactive map; it covers each assessed parcel from Lytle to LaCoste. On ground around LaCoste, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For property near LaCoste, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; each clerk in the county asks for it first.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Lytle, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Lytle keeps working without signal.
Hondo, TX: the basics
Hondo sits in Medina County, Texas, which means parcel data comes from the county. As the county seat, Hondo hosts the courthouse, handy when you need recorded documents. For a tract near Lytle, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits out by Lytle generally falls under county rules instead.
A quick look at the area
Hondo is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Castroville, Devine, LaCoste, and Lytle. Roughly 54,797 people call Medina County home (Census estimate, 2023) across roughly 1,325 square miles. Medina County was organized in 1848, and some chains of title near Castroville are long.
How a plat differs from the tax map
If the tax map and plat differ near Lytle, go with the plat and a surveyor's work.
Sections, lots and bearings
Rural deeds near Natalia commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Subdivision lots in LaCoste are typically described by lot and block, making them easier to find. Write down the legal description for the tract near LaCoste for any title or survey request.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Natalia are kept by the County Clerk. Inherited tracts near LaCoste can trace back through many deeds, and a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Details on the Hondo plat map

Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Natalia belong with the appraisal district, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Natalia need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Neighboring parcel maps
Medina County borders Atascosa County, Bandera County, Bexar County, Frio County, and Uvalde County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Lytle can be split in two county records, so look at the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. Closer to Castroville, our state page lists each bordering county map across Texas.
Requesting the plat
With a lot near San Antonio, some counties put plat images online, while others require a visit or a request; small fees are common.
Before you lean on the lines
The acreage figure is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on land around Devine. Records update in batches, so a fresh transfer around LaCoste can take weeks to appear.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around LaCoste, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; street vacations show up in the records too.
When there's no plat
Rural land near Lytle that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land near Devine.
