The General Land Office (GLO)

The Texas General Land Office was established by the President of the Republic of Texas, Sam Houston, in 1837.

John P. Borden was appointed the 1st Land Commissioner.

The first pressing task for the Commissioner and the General Land Office was to collect the scattered land grants of the Spanish and Mexican land grants in Texas. Before they could be collected they had to be found.

It was a slow and time consuming task because many of the grants were in the hands of empresarios, commissioners, agents and political authorities that had removed the paper land grants far from points of origin.

Although it was a slow and time consuming task, in 1838, a list of “An Abstract of the Original Land Titles of Record In the General Land Office” was printed. This list provided names of grantees, dates, quantities and general locations of the tracts.

The GLO was established in 1837, the Archives consist of land grant records and maps dating to the 18th century that detail the passage of Texas public lands to private ownership. We are committed to the conserving and protecting more than 35 million historic land documents, maps and notes.

Many of these documents continue to be used even today by surveyors, land men and others researching land ownership.  The rich primary source material also makes the Archives a haven for genealogists, historians, archeologists and students.

The Archives at GLO is the home for the history of Texas land! I

The GLO serves as the steward of the Texas Gulf Coast. Our coastline is comprised 367 miles of Gulf beaches and more than 3,300 miles of bays, estuaries, and other submerged lands of out to a distance of 10.3 miles in the Gulf of Mexico. The agency both proactively and reactively addresses issues related to environmental protection, oil spill prevention and response , and also takes action to restore the natural resources damaged along our gulf coast.

GLO is the lead agency for preventing and responding to oil spills in coastal waters, with five field offices responding to about 1,000 spills a year.

The Adopt a Beach Program has organized 390,000 volunteers to pick up more than 7,500 tons of trash along the Texas coast since 1986.

The Texas General Land Office manages state lands and mineral rights totaling 13 million acres. This includes vast properties in West Texas, Gulf Coast beaches and bays and all “submerged” lands 10.35 miles out into the Gulf of Mexico, as well as a variety of state agency acreage and timberlands in East Texas.

A primary responsibility of the Land Office is to lease, manage and use these lands for the benefit of the Permanent School Fund, an endowment fund established in 1876 for the benefit of Texas public school education. Since only the interest income can be spent, the principal amount remains intact and continues to work for the school children of Texas.

The General Land Office earns money for the PSF. Leasing the vast land and mineral holdings for energy and minerals is energy and mineral development has grown. Since 1854 the PSF has grown into the world’s largest endowment funds for education.

Oil and Gas Rights – the permitting and leasing of oil and gas development on state lands generate large revenues for the PSF. Management of these assets are a core responsibility for the GLO.

Harnessing Natural Power – GLO actively markets state lands for the development of renewable energy, including wind, solar and geothermal.
