An organized starting point
One address. Several separate public-record systems. One organized starting point.
Find nearby well and surface-water records
Review source-separated leads, distances, identifiers, and official links without treating a nearby record as a property fact.
Open official records and complete the remaining checks
Follow an address-specific research plan for comparisons, seller questions, and appropriate professional follow-up.
Focused research tools
Choose a narrower starting point.
These independent tools organize specific research tasks. TREC, TWDB, TCEQ, and other official sources remain authoritative.

A clearer first pass
Water records rarely live in one place.
A well report, groundwater observation, district boundary, local rule, and surface-water-right record answer different questions. Texas Water Sources helps keep those sources and questions separate.
The directory does not mirror official databases or claim comprehensive coverage. It shows where a bounded set of official records lives, what each pathway may help find, and what still requires verification.
Source platform
Authority first. Interpretation second.
Record types stay separate
Well reports, observations, conditions, district records, and routing layers keep their own roles.
Source dates stay visible
Each entry shows its verification date and explains the basis for record dates.
Limitations stay explicit
Every source states what it can help find and what it cannot confirm.
Official links stay intact
Search steps lead back to the authoritative agency or district surface; no record database is mirrored.
Featured official sources
Begin with a record family.

An important boundary
This is source navigation and research support, not a title opinion, legal advice, or completed disclosure.
Water records and map layers can identify useful leads. They do not, by themselves, establish whether a water right is owned by, reserved from, appurtenant to, or transferable with a property.
