Opening the official parcel viewer
The public parcel map for this area is the DeWitt County parcel viewer, and it opens in a browser with no account. If the land is near Yorktown, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. If you're looking near Cuero, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.

Backing up the map with records
For a parcel near Cuero, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the County Clerk. Closer to Yorktown, use the book and page shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
Getting your bearings
