A Tyler County property owner search: start here
Use the Texas county CAD map for a Tyler County property owner search; search by address, owner name or parcel ID.
Where the parcel data lives
Your first stop is the Texas county CAD map; it covers every tax parcel around Doucette and Woodville. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow the nearest road on the aerial and select the outline, for land near Big Thicket National Preserve included. On ground around Wildwood, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Trusts, estates and LLCs
With a lot near Doucette, the record lists the owner of record, sometimes a trust or LLC. An estate listed as owner near Ivanhoe often points to an open probate, and the executor handles questions.
Taking the map into the field

A word on accuracy

Who handles what
