1731 – The First Survey in Texas (2 PDH, includes 1-hour Rules/Ethics)

with Noel Nicholls, RPLS

• Explanation and layout of the 1846 retracement by the County Surveyor and subsequent trespass to try title suit. Retracing the 1731 Royal Grant to the Canary Islanders from parol evidence of the descendants, as they were unable to find any written description.
• This 1846 survey was again retraced by the city surveyor for the 1852 Town Tract establishing the layout of Districts, Ranges, and Lots along with the roads we know today forming much of San Antonio.  In 1920 the original 1731 documents laying out the Royal Grant were found in Guadalajara.
• The actual layout is compared to the 1846 retracement with a discussion of the differences.

In 1969, Noel got a summer job as a rodman on a Survey Crew working on an expansion of the City of Birmingham in the midlands of England. The party chief was a Dutchman, along with a Swede and a Malaysian working with him. All of them had degrees in surveying and had worked all over the world. An education and an adventure - Noel was hooked. 

By 1972, while working for Engineering Surveys of London, he worked all over the UK and was seconded to an English engineering company working in Libya. There the expats told him he could make $5 an hour as a party chief in the States which was four times his current wage!

He worked briefly in East Texas on subdivisions surrounding the recent, and still filling, Lake Livingston when the 1973 oil crisis shut that down. Doodlebugging (seismic oil exploration) followed in Alabama and Mississippi - which was an education in itself. He moved to Corpus Christi to work for Maverick Engineering and in 1975, moved up to San Antonio where he working for Vickrey & Associates until he was fired for being a pia. He then moved onto Castella & Associates.

Joining Pape-Dawson in 1978, he started as a party chief and he got his registration in 1986 and moved into the office the following year until his retirement at the end of 2018. The downturn of the 2008 - 2009 crisis gave time to retrace an 1886 map of the 1852 city design over the aerial survey where City Archaeologist led him to the 1731 original survey - a rabbit hole of more and more new items.

Surveying & Land Title Issues  (2 PDH, includes 2-hours Rules/Ethics)

with Teresa Myers

• The content of this session will focus on title and survey issues from both sides, as in how a title company may look at things versus how a surveyor might.
• It will also include a review of the parts of a commitment.

Teresa A Myers grew up in the surveying industry. Her father, Robert “Calvin” Myers, has been surveying for approximately 50 years, so Teresa was thrust into the survey life. She grew and learned under her father and other surveyors as the years went on. Ultimately the slow down of 2008 took Teresa to pursue other things.

Teresa, received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2009 and became a Registered Professional Land Surveyor in 2011, after spending 17 years in the Land Surveying industry. Teresa went on to obtain her Juris Doctorate from Texas A&M School of Law in 2013, after five-years of internship in Real Estate Law.

Teresa began working as a full-time escrow officer in 2016 while still separately running her law firm, Teresa A Myers, PLLC, and a surveying firm. She stopped actively land surveying to focus on law and title focusing on real estate, estate planning, and business formation law. Teresa opened Mutual Title LLC in 2020 that focuses solely on title and escrow.
