In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, and for Port Lavaca that means the appraisal district interactive map.
Where the parcel data lives
Your first stop is the appraisal district interactive map; it includes each assessed parcel around Point Comfort and Seadrift. With a lot near Point Comfort, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. With a lot near Point Comfort, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Point Comfort, though signal can drop in rural spots. A printout of the tract near Seadrift keeps working without signal.
Recorded documents worth pulling
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed through the County Clerk; the viewer just points to it, which applies near Seadrift as much as anywhere. Inherited tracts around Point Comfort can sit on many deeds, and a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
