Unrecorded plat

Posted by - D Cooper

Anyone have an opinion whether or not an unrecorded subdivision plat should be treated as a simultaneous conveyance in Texas?

For the record, I have not seen the plat, but have multiple references to an unrecorded plat. Each lot is also described by metes and bounds in the deeds I have found. Most of the deeds mention the subdivision name in the general description. I am not sure what I should do and would gladly accept any opinions.

What do you do when the recorded deeds for the lots mention only the block and lot number and there is no metes and bounds description?

I treat all unrecorded plats as simultaneous conveyances, especially the ones with no meets and bounds. Usually these plats were created when there were no plat laws requiring recordation, remember to "Walk in the Footsteps" of the previous survey is our objective. Whatever State you practice in.
