Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is required to be a licensed surveyor?

To acquire a survey license in the State of Texas, one must pass the state examination that tests for excellence in mathematics, land boundary law, and a thorough understanding of the rules of the Texas Board of Professional Land Surveying. To be eligible to take the exam, an applicant must have a Bachelor's Degree with at least 32 hours in surveying-related classes and be in the Surveyor-in-Training program with at least two years' experience working in a position of responsible charge.

Q2: Why do I need a boundary survey?

A boundary survey protects your interest in real property from possible errors and encroachments.

Q3: What work is involved in a boundary survey?

A boundary survey is the combination of research of the public records, field investigation to find evidence of boundary monumentation and occupation of the subject and adjacent tracts, measurement of the evidence found, mathematical comparison of the evidence to the public record, application of boundary law when the evidence does not match the public record, further research and field investigation due to discrepancies with the public record, setting monumentation when required, preparation of a drawing, called a plat, depicting the final construction of the boundary, and preparation of a written legal description often incorporated into the deed and recorded into the public records.

Q4: How much does a boundary survey cost?

The cost varies according to size and complexity. Naturally, a large or complicated tract of land will require more work than a small or simple one.
