Planning a hunt near Matador? Think of the Motley County hunting map as two layers: state-managed land plus the county's parcel boundaries. What this Motley County guide covers: where public hunting land is mapped, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and getting landowner permission the right way.
Getting started with the Motley County hunting map
For a home near Matador, start with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for public areas, with rules that vary by area.
The viewer Motley County publishes
Begin with the Texas county CAD map; it maps every assessed parcel around Roaring Springs and Flomot. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along the nearest road and select the outline, whether the land is near Roaring Springs or elsewhere in the county. With a lot near Matador, copy the parcel ID while you have it open; each office in the county will want it.
Safety and courtesy
Leave gates as you found them on land near Flomot, and tell someone where you'll be; owners remember good guests.
Where the recorded documents are
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed from the County Clerk; the parcel line is a drawing of it, which applies near Roaring Springs as much as anywhere. For land near Roaring Springs, use the document number from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
Reading boundaries on the county map
Private boundaries come from the Texas county CAD map, so you can see who owns the land near Matador.
Reading terrain
On the aerial around Flomot, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; match each spot to its parcel.
Getting answers from the right desk
For assessment questions about property around Matador belong with the appraisal district, the office behind the parcel record. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Matador need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Before you lean on the lines
