PARCELNOTICE / GUIDES
Prepare property notices for Texas projects.
Choose Texas and any of its 254 counties to build a project. Browse the public parcel map where records are available, or use your existing property list. Keep your recipient review, editable letter, envelopes, and labels together in ParcelNotice. The tool is free to use; donations help keep it running.
Find the project, then choose the properties
In the tool, choose Texas and the county. Zoom in and click inside a parcel boundary. Review the record and choose Add. Gold boundaries show your selected properties; click a selected property to remove it. Switching counties keeps your selection.
You can also enter a street address, city, and ZIP. The US Census geocoder moves the map to an approximate street location; it does not verify the parcel or owner. Click the correct parcel boundary to review and add the property. Address results are restricted to your selected county.
Texas’s public statewide service supports map display and clicked-parcel lookup. It does not currently support the owner-name, parcel-ID, or bulk area queries used by the North Carolina tool, so those controls are unavailable for Texas. Use map clicks or import a verified list for a larger batch, up to 250 parcels.
Use an existing list when that is faster
Choose Import CSV. TxGIO and common appraisal-data columns are recognized, and the column-matching window handles other layouts. Rows without a property state or county use the location you selected. Property state and mailing state are separate: an owner’s mailing address may be outside Texas. Keep parcel identifiers and ZIP codes as text to preserve leading zeros.
Save a reusable setup or a work in progress
Start with a general letter template, adapt it in the text editor, or use your own text. Use Save draft to keep a partial project or a starter setup with your project manager and organization details. Load draft restores the state, county, selected parcels, recipient edits, wording, and settings. Draft files stay on your device; save before closing the tab.
After reviewing the recipients and wording, export letters, #10 envelopes with an optional return address, or mailing labels. North Carolina statutory templates are not offered for Texas projects. General templates remain editable; confirm any requirements that apply to your particular notice.
What statewide coverage means here
All 254 counties are available for project organization and CSV imports. Live map records depend on what county appraisal districts supply to the Texas Geographic Information Office (TxGIO). Records can be missing or outdated, and owner or mailing-address fields can be blank. A blank map area or an empty click result does not mean a property has no owner.
On October 8, 2026, we tested one Census county interior point in each county: 246 returned a parcel record and eight returned none at that point. This is a service sample, not a completeness audit of every parcel or every county. A separate Dallas location returned a record even though the Dallas interior-point sample did not, illustrating why one empty test is not proof of missing county coverage.
Review the owner, every mailing-address line, and the source-acquisition date shown with each imported map record. Acquisition dates indicate when source data was acquired; they do not establish current ownership. Confirm uncertain details with the relevant appraisal district. Parcel maps are reference information, not survey boundaries.
