When a listing near Bigfoot mentions a lot number, you'll need the Pearsall plat map to make sense of it. In this Pearsall guide: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Getting started with the Pearsall plat map
For a subdivision near Dilley, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; that makes the request quick.
The viewer Frio County publishes
Your first stop is the Frio County parcel viewer; it covers each assessed parcel in the county, Bigfoot included. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, which applies near Bigfoot as much as anywhere. With a lot near Dilley, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Bigfoot belong with the appraisal district, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Bigfoot are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Getting your bearings
Pearsall serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. Smaller places on the map include Dilley and Bigfoot, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 17,987 people live in Frio County (Census estimate, 2023) across about 1,134 square miles. Frio County dates to 1871, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Metes and bounds instead

Pearsall, TX: the basics
Pearsall lies within Frio County, Texas, and the county assessor maps its lots. As the county seat, Pearsall hosts the courthouse, so deeds and plats are filed in town. Near Bigfoot, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the city limits near Bigfoot usually answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Dilley, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Bigfoot with its ID keeps working without signal.
How a plat differs from the tax map
The Frio County parcel viewer draws parcels for taxes, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
Where the recorded documents are

Limits of the parcel data
