Land Surveying in Dallas, TX
Dallas survey work runs the full urban spectrum: ALTA surveys on institutional-grade assets where the title exceptions run to double digits, boundary resolution through a records fabric of original patents, railroad rights-of-way, and a century of replats, design topography for sites from downtown blocks to five-hundred-acre logistics parks, and construction staking with the control networks that towers and tilt-wall programs require. Abandoned and active rail corridors thread the county and complicate more boundaries than any other single feature. We resolve them from the source records, deliver corners that survive scrutiny, and carry projects through staking and as-builts with one control network from start to finish.
Railroad right-of-way boundaries, active, abandoned, and rail-banked, are the most litigated boundary feature in Dallas County, and adjoining parcels deserve source-document resolution rather than acceptance of the last survey's assumption.

FAQ · Dallas
Why is the railroad boundary such a problem?
Because rail corridors were acquired piecemeal over a century by deed, condemnation, and easement, and each parcel's edge depends on which instrument controls. Abandonment muddies who owns what now, and the answer is in the records, not the fence line.
What does an institutional ALTA involve beyond a standard one?
Volume and rigor: every title exception plotted or explained, optional table items negotiated by the parties, and documentation that satisfies national counsel. It is the same survey discipline with the evidentiary bar raised.
