The viewer Nueces County publishes
Parcels around Corpus Christi are published on the Nueces CAD interactive map, a viewer that needs no account. If you're looking near Ingleside, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. With a lot near Ingleside, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.
City limits and county records
Robstown lies within Nueces County, Texas, which means parcel data comes from the county. In and around Petronila, 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 town limits toward Ingleside often falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Aransas Pass are kept by the County Clerk. For land near Petronila, have ready the instrument number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Places you'll see on the map
Corpus Christi holds the county offices, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Petronila, Driscoll, and Bishop, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 352,289 people live in Nueces County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on some 839 square miles. Nueces County dates to 1847, so old deeds can run back a long way.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Aransas Pass, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.

Plat map vs. parcel map
The Nueces CAD interactive map draws parcels for taxes, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Getting answers from the right desk
For assessment questions about property around Driscoll are handled by the appraisal district, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Bishop are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Next door to Nueces County
Nueces County borders Aransas County, Jim Wells County, Kleberg County, and San Patricio County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Ingleside can be split across two assessors' files, so check the adjacent map too. For property near Petronila, the Platbookmapper state page links each neighboring county map across Texas.
Metes and bounds instead
Acreage around Petronila outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Lots, blocks and easements
Recorded easements around Aransas Pass can block a shed or pool; check the plat notes and any covenants.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Petronila, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Petronila with its ID is a good backup.
Requesting the plat
Near Petronila, some counties put plat images online, otherwise call or visit with the reference; small fees are common.
What the map can't tell you
Acreage on the record is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary for a parcel near Aransas Pass. In and around Aransas Pass, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
