Where the Stephenville GIS map lives
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, so for Stephenville the go-to is the Erath CAD interactive map.
Getting to the right map
Your first stop is the Erath CAD interactive map; it covers every tax parcel from Dublin to Bluff Dale. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, which applies near Bluff Dale as much as anywhere. Closer to Dublin, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each office in the county will want it.

A word on accuracy
The acreage figure is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real lines for a parcel near Dublin. Around Bluff Dale, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
