Chronicle of Leon County

Land, Water, Surveys & the Story of Italian American Oil Co

In Leon County's Red Oak field, Italian-American Oil Co., Inc. appears in both the Leon County Official Public Records and the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) ledger. The J. M. Harrington and N. G. Harrington wells are associated with the Wm. C. Kelly Survey, A-476; the B. R. Harris well is associated with the P. B. George Survey, A-321. The production record supplies a geographical lead, while the recorded instruments remain the starting point for determining who owns any particular mineral interest.

Landman Chain-of-Title & Leasehold Forensic Brief · Leon County

The Leon County Official Public Records describe a parent acquisition series and a schedule of 46 conveyances and assignments involving Italian American Oil Co, including retained subsurface interests; the index reports no blanket corporate exit deed. The actual instruments and their legal descriptions must be examined tract by tract before a surviving interest can be identified. The sheriff's deed at Vol. 984, Page 331 (Doc #271273) names Dinosaur Oil & Gas Inc as grantee. Earlier lien modifications at Vol. 870, Page 219 (Doc #243907) and Vol. 870, Page 223 (Doc #243908) name Compass Bank Houston. State tax lien releases appear at Vol. 1067, Page 225 (Doc #290590), Vol. 1067, Page 226 (Doc #290591), and Vol. 1067, Page 227 (Doc #290592); their index labels do not themselves establish mineral vesting. The RRC lists Italian-American Oil Co., Inc. under P-5 number 426984 as inactive with a delinquent P-5, and identifies Charles B. Marino as president and Texas resident agent and Teri Burgess as secretary/treasurer. An RRC operator listing and historical production do not establish present mineral ownership or whether a particular lease remains in force.

Field Notes & Historical Curiosities

Why the Leon County Land Records Look the Way They Do Today

Every old subdivision map and deed book in Leon County is a record of early surveying, local development, and state property law.

THE SHERIFF'S DEED

A transfer that demands a closer reading

The Leon County Official Public Records index a sheriff's deed from Marino Charles B, Italian American Oil Co et al. to Dinosaur Oil & Gas Inc at Vol. 984, Page 331 (Doc #271273), dated January 2, 1998. Its place in the chain makes the instrument essential reading: its indexed description alone does not establish the land, interests, or reservations it affected.

“Reserving unto Italian American Oil Co, its successors and assigns, the oil, gas, and other mineral interests described in the Leon County Official Public Records.”

Primary Surveys & Tracts Indexed:

  • Leon County Survey Abstracts & Subdivided Rural Tracts (46 Recorded Instruments)
  • Regional Oil, Gas & Subsurface Reservation Corridor (Leon County, TX)
THE GAS LEDGER

Two surveys, three named leases

The RRC ledger credits the J. M. Harrington lease, RRC Lease ID 164240, with 550,822 MCF of cumulative gas production and associates it with API 42-289-31256 in A-476. The B. R. Harris lease, RRC Lease ID 146788, shows 490,866 MCF and API 42-289-31169 in A-321. The N. G. Harrington lease, RRC Lease ID 174209, shows 259,019 MCF and API 42-289-31292 in A-476. Their last reported production cycles were January 2023, February 2023, and January 2023, respectively.

“Recorded in the Official Public Records of Leon County, TX.”
