EDITOR’S LETTER
LANDS OF TEXAS MAGAZINE
The Real Value
of Land
Land is real property. Kings, tycoons and visionaries have built
empires upon its acquisition. Land, undoubtedly, has a dollarsand-cents
market value. I’ve come to realize, though, its value
transcends the definitions of the marketplace.
Without productive, open space land, there would be no water, no
oxygen and no wildlife habitat. Without productive, wide open spaces,
Texas would be just another state, not an iconic “whole other country.”
Without productive, open space land, our souls would wither and our
family memories would be confined by concrete.
These qualities don’t translate into a mathematical equation. Like so
many intangibles in our lives, these life-giving, life-altering qualities are
priceless.
Landowners are inspired stewards of our natural resources and our
collective future. With the privilege of ownership, they accepted a
beautiful responsibility: leaving their piece of the world better than they
found it.
In the pages of this issue, I hope you will find the land that inspires you.
We will all benefit from your efforts.

Interview with George M. “Mitch” West
Phyllis Browning Land & Ranch Co.
BY COURTNEY DONNELL
Loyalty, honor,
integrity and dedication.
These words are powerful. These
words are valued. These words are often
used to describe the extraordinary men I am
honored to write about in these Broker Spotlights. This month’s
spotlight is no exception. George M. “Mitch” West, of Phyllis
Browning Land & Ranch Co. in San Antonio, is a sixth generation
Texan, a dedicated family man and a very successful broker. He has
traveled the world, worked for some of the most famous ranches in
North, Central and South America and spent 43 years in love with the
same woman. All of those words definitely apply. But, if I had to pick
one word to describe Mitch West, it would be humble. The man truly
has no idea just how extraordinary he is.

Bogota, Colombia - 1989

San Crisobol, Venezuela
WHEN AND HOW DID YOU GET STARTED SELLING
RANCHES?
My family moved to a farm in western Bexar County
in 1961. I either lived or worked there until 1999. During
that time, the farm evolved into one of the largest Bovine
embryo transfer facilities in the world. During its hay day,
Rio Vista Farms had over 50 full time employees, five of
which were PhD’s, and over 6000 head of cattle. We had
Rio Vista - Family Home - 1985
research contracts with Sea World, Charles River Labs and
the University of Texas Health Science Network. During
those years, I either personally collected from, transferred
embryos into, or palpated over 500,000 cows. I did it in
almost every South and Central American country, Mexico
and Canada, and in some of the most difficult conditions
you could possibly imagine. I personally delivered the first
bovine embryos from the United States to Canada. My
experiences throughout these years gave me as diverse an
education in the farm and ranch industry as anyone could
ever hope to have. I treasure those years, but by 1999, it
was time to make a change.
I decided to stop doing embryo transfer and found a
way of making a living that required less travel and less
dangerous working conditions.
Farm and ranch real estate seemed like a good fit
because of my background, and my intense love of the
land. There are brokers that sell more land than I do, but I
don’t think there are any that have more fun doing it.
HOW MANY OF YOUR FAMILY ARE IN THE FARM/RANCH
INDUSTRY?
I have five brothers. We all worked together at the farm
and we all worked hard. Eventually, my brothers left the
farm and went in their own direction. They all have been
very successful. My family has a proud heritage in the cattle
business. My father, Albert West, was a visionary in cattle
reproduction/reproductive science. He was instrumental
in bringing Simmental cattle to the United States, and was
elected president of the American Simmental Association
in 1980. Dolph Briscoe, called my great great uncle, George
West, “The most influential cattleman in the history of the
state of Texas. My mother’s grandfather was W.B. Mitchell
and established the Highland Hereford Association. He was
not only acknowledged as an excellent cattleman, but also
a wonderful man. I may never achieve what these men
accomplished in their lives, but their example influences
the way that I conduct myself in business. I would never do
anything to tarnish their name or mine.
WHAT WAS THE FIRST RANCH DEAL YOU WORKED ON?
About the time I decided to get out of the embryo transfer
industry and into real estate, I had an existing transfer
client that had a ranch in Bay City, Texas, called The
Broken Triangle. It was about 2,000 acres. They gave me
the listing and it took me about 10 months to sell, granted
it was my first one.
DID YOU GET DISCOURAGED THAT IT TOOK 10 MONTHS
TO SELL?
After 22 years of travel, I was just so glad to not be
doing embryo transfers and standing behind cows all day.
Embryo transfer was a dirty, dangerous, monotonous way
to make a living. I did get to see incredible ranches and
the different approaches ranching and farming had in
other parts of the world. It was an eye opening experience,
and that knowledge has served me will in ranch real

to do it, I am going to give you $400,000 option money.”
The most impressive thing was that he relayed all of this
in about 20 seconds. I have never heard anybody talk that
fast and with such conviction. With that, he let everybody
know he was busy and wouldn’t take any further time. “I
hope somebody taped that, because I would like to listen to
it about five times to truly appreciate what he just said.” He
wound up buying it.
HOW HAS THE INDUSTRY CHANGED OVER THE YEARS?
You know, I think it has to do with technology. Technology
has changed so much. From all of these incredible mapping
programs, marketing improvements and the use of the
internet. When I started in 1999, all of this was just the
beginning. Now, the way we communicate with people
using text, email, Skype, social media, it is just amazing
to me. It has really made it so much easier and I think
technology has changed the business tremendously.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE GREATEST BENEFIT OF
OWNING LAND?
I own land, and I think it is the pride of ownership and
the challenge of improving it. Every time I go to my place, I
think of a new way I can improve it, how I would improve it,
that is the real challenge.
WHAT IS THE THING IN LIFE YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF?
My family, especially my marriage. We have been
married for 43 years, and she is one easy women to love. I
am also very proud of my daughters and their families. I
have three terrific son-in-laws and eight grandchildren. So,
for me, there is nothing more important in life than family.

estate. It took a while to get started, but I just loved doing
it. I loved talking about the land. I enjoyed being on the
ranch. Ever since then it has been my life.
WHAT IS THE BEST OR MOST INTERESTING DEAL YOU
WORKED ON?
Early in my career, I had a beautiful listing on a
property near Mountain Home, TX. I showed it to a man
and his wife and they loved it. The man agreed to offer full
price, I was so happy. The buyer was unrepresented, so the
entire commission would be mine. I called the seller and
relayed the man’s offer and who he was and she said to
raise the price $4,000,000.
When I relayed the message to the potential buyer,
he was furious. He cussed me out and threatened to sue
everybody. I listened to him as long as I could and finally
said, “Listen, I am so depressed and I can barely breathe. I
am going home. Stay as long as you like and lock up when
you leave.” On the way home, I got a speeding ticket. It
was a tough day, but I did eventually sell the ranch.
WHAT IS THE STRANGEST EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE HAD
SHOWING A RANCH?
I was chosen by the diocese of West Texas to sell a ranch
that was gifted by their parishioners. We had a potential
buyer who wanted to make a presentation to myself, the
bishop and a handful of lawyers. He came in and said,
“Gentlemen, I am going to be brief. This is what I am
offering, and I won’t pay one penny more. You can take as
long as you want to make up your minds. If you all decide

IF YOU HAD TO PICK ANOTHER CAREER….ANY
CAREER…WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
I would ranch and farm full time. With the background
I have and the love I have of doing it, it is just natural. I
love working hard. I love sweat. It is what I have always
done. There is a certain amount of peace and fulfillment
that comes at the end of each day when you can see
what you have accomplished.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT TEXAS?
The diversity of the land. I love the mountains of West
Texas, the piney woods of East Texas, and the coastal
plains to the south. Each one of our regions has its own
wonderful aspect to it.
WHO IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN YOUR REAL

LANDS OF TEXAS MAGAZINE
WATER OWNERSHIP IN TEXAS
In Texas, ownership of water depends on whether the
water is categorized as groundwater or surface water.
Groundwater is water percolating below the earth’s surface.
Generally, groundwater belongs to the landowner.
In contrast, surface water belongs to the State of Texas
and is held in trust for the public. Surface water is the
ordinary flow, underflow, and tides of any natural body of
water (i.e. river, stream, lake, or bay) and watercourse in
the state. A watercourse has a defined bed and banks with
a current of water. Another subcategory of surface water is
diffused water, which is rainwater or surface runoff. Before
it enters a watercourse, landowners may capture and use
the diffused surface water as it flows across their property.
Once the diffused water flows into a watercourse, it is
owned by the state. A landowner’s ability to use water on
or beneath his or her property depends on the categories
previously mentioned.
GROUNDWATER USE
Groundwater provides 60 percent of the water used
in Texas. Landowners have the right to capture any
groundwater beneath their property based on a legal
doctrine called the “Rule of Capture.” According to this
doctrine, a landowner may extract or pump whatever
groundwater water he or she can beneficially use or sell
regardless of the impact on nearby property owners.
The Rule of Capture is often referred to as the “law of
the biggest pump” as a neighboring property owner’s only
remedy is drilling a larger or deeper water well. Even so,
a landowner cannot: maliciously take water for the sole
purpose of injuring a neighbor; willfully waste groundwater;
negligently drill or pump water in a manner that causes
subsidence (sinking) on a neighbor’s property; or
trespass onto a neighbor’s land to extract water. Trespass
would include drilling a “slant hole” that crosses over a
subterranean property line into the neighbor’s land for the
purpose of taking water.
Under authority of the Texas Constitution, the state
legislature created Groundwater Conservation Districts
(GCD) to regulate the spacing, drilling, and pumping of
groundwater in the state. There are approximately 99 GCDs
in Texas.
GCDs also develop and implement water management
plans to manage their groundwater resources. Each
water management plan is approved by the Texas Water
Development Board (TWDB). The goal of each water
management plan is to provide for the most efficient use
of ground water; prevent waste and subsidence; address
natural resource issues and drought conditions; encourage
conservation; and achieve desired future conditions.
GCDs grant water well permits based on the TWDB’s
determination of how much groundwater is available for
extraction. Permits are issued to persons “with a legally
defined interest in groundwater.” This may include a person
or entity who owns or leases land or rights to groundwater,
uses a well for beneficial use, or produces water in one of
the 16 groundwater management areas in the state.
While a landowner may have the right under the Rule
of Capture to extract groundwater underneath his or her
land, a local GCD may impose additional restrictions on the
placement of the well or limitations on the amount of water
appropriated from said well.
All GCDs require landowners to register their wells.
And each GCD has different rules so it is important that
landowners find out if your property is covered by a GCD
and its specific regulations. For example, some districts
require landowners to obtain a permit before drilling a well
or replacement well on their land. If the permit is granted,
the landowners may be restricted as to the location of
the well on the land or how much groundwater they are
permitted to extract.
GCDs often use historical data, the intended usage
(agricultural, livestock, etc.), and the impact on the
aquifer overall to determine how much water may be
appropriated. Landowners may find themselves in situations
ere tey are denied additional ells or any ells at all
Some districts even impose restrictions on the transport
of groundwater outside of the district after it has been
extracted.
Groundwater extracted from properties outside of a
GCD’s jurisdiction, however, is largely unregulated, although
the Rule of Capture still applies.
SURFACE WATER USE
Since surface water is owned by the State, landowners
must obtain a “water right” from the State to use any
surface water. A water right provides a landowner the legal
right “to impound, divert, or use state water.”
Landowners may obtain a water right by applying for
a permit from the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ). After obtaining a permit, the landowner
can use surface water for domestic, agricultural, industrial,
and other beneficial uses. The permit will specify the
amount of surface water that can be appropriated and
the water right’s duration. Regardless of the amount
appropriated, a landowner cannot take more water than
he or she can put to beneficial use. Generally, a permit
will allow for appropriation as long as the beneficial use
continues, but it can be limited to a matter of days or
years.
The date the TCEQ grants the landowner a water right
permit is especially important because it determines the
permit holder’s “priority date.” Water law in Texas is based
on the doctrine of prior appropriation, which stands for
the proposition “first in time, first in right.” Landowners
who received their water right first will have seniority over
the landowners who obtained their permits later in time.
If there is a shortage, the senior water right holder will get
priority over the junior water right holders. The TCEQ is
required to comply with the doctrine of prior appropriation
when issuing curtailment orders in drought conditions. 2
VALUE OF WATER RIGHTS
The value of a water right depends on a variety
24

of factors such as location, category (surface water
or groundwater), priority date, quality and reliability
of the water, alternative sources of water, and other
administrative issues.
For surface water rights, the priority date of the right
itself and the other water rights around it are especially
important. A surface water right with the oldest priority
date will be the most valuable as it will get seniority over
the other junior water right holders in times of need.
Groundwater value may be affected by a local GCD’s
limitations and regulations. For example, some GCDs limit
the export of groundwater outside their jurisdiction. A
permit for a well within a GCD’s jurisdiction, however, will
have its own transferable value.
CONVEYING, TRANSFERRING, OR LEASING WATER RIGHTS
A water right is a property interest and may be
conveyed, transferred, or reserved. If a landowner sells his
land without explicitly reserving his water right, it will pass
with the land to the new owner.
Similar to minerals, a landowner can sell or reserve his
groundwater rights separately from the rest of the property.
This type of conveyance is referred to as a “severance” and
is most recognizable in oil, gas, and mineral conveyances.
A conveyance or reservation of “minerals” does not include
water as water is not legally categorized as a mineral. 3
For these reasons, landowners should confirm that they
are acquiring groundwater rights as part of their land or
mineral purchase. If the land has been previously “severed,”
the landowner should have an attorney examine the
language of the prior conveyances to determine who owns
the groundwater.
Similarly to oil, gas, and minerals, landowners can
commercially lease their groundwater so long as the well is
legally placed, production is within the set limitations, and
other conditions are satisfied. This type of arrangement
could be particularly beneficial in areas in which water is
in high demand. However, transaction costs and a limited
pool of buyers can make groundwater leasing challenging.
Since many of the same legal doctrines which apply
to oil, gas, and minerals are applicable to water, a
groundwater lease would follow a similar format to that of
an oil, gas, or mineral lease. Among other things, the lease
agreement should identify the amount of groundwater
to be appropriated and the withdrawal rate. If you are
interested or approached about leasing your groundwater
rights, you should carefully consider your own current and
future water needs, evaluate the potential impact on the
value of the property, and contact an attorney to draft a
bullet-proof lease agreement.
Surface water rights can also be sold through a contract
for sale or leased. The water right should be explicitly
transferred by deed and recorded. If a landowner sells or
transfers a water right permit it obtained from the TCEQ,
he or she must notify the TCEQ and amend the permit if the
transferee will change the location, amount, or purpose of
the water right being conveyed. The TCEQ must approve the
amendment.
Whether you are buying or selling a water right, the first
step is to determine who has ownership and the extent of
their ownership rights over the water right. This may involve
researching deeds, other county records, and files from
the applicable state agency or GCD. Next, you will want to
determine the amount water which can be appropriated,
the diversion point, diversion rate, priority date, purpose,
any limitations/restrictions, and more to help with
valuation.
PROTECTING YOUR WATER RIGHTS
You can lose your surface water rights. It may be
considered “abandoned” if you do not use your water rights
for 10 years or more. The TCEQ requires permit holders to
submit an annual water-use report, even if they did not use
any water. Additionally, if you are delinquent in paying any
administrative fees to TCEQ for more than one year, your
water balance will be reduced to zero, and diversions will
not be authorized until all overdue assessments are paid.
Accounts that remain inactive for 10 consecutive years can
be considered for cancellation by the TCEQ.
Unlike surface water rights, groundwater rights cannot
be abandoned, but they can be unintentionally lost through
careless conveyances or infringed upon by administrative
regulations or other landowners. Although GCDs cannot
completely divest landowners of their right to groundwater
beneath their land, their limitation or restrictions could
impair the land’s market value and the use and enjoyment
of the property.
Within the past few years, several landowners have sued
their local GCD challenging its authority to regulate their
groundwater usage. The Texas Supreme Court recently held
that landowners have an interest in groundwater in place
that cannot be taken for public use without adequate
compensation as guaranteed by the Texas Constitution. 4 If
your groundwater rights have been unreasonably infringed
upon or taken, you should seek counsel of an attorney to
determine what rights and remedies are available to you.

Public Benefits
of Private Land
BY LORIE WOODWARD CANTU
34

Land is valuable. As real property, it has financial value determined by the
marketplace. As the source of food, fiber and shelter, it has production value. As
home to ecological and biological processes, land has societal value.
“The public benefits of private land are as diverse and expansive as Texas’ land,”
said Greg Simons, owner of Wildlife Systems, LLC, and Texas Wildlife Association
president. “Some benefits like economic impact, agricultural production and
recreational opportunities are easy to see and quantify. Other things like clean
air, clean water and the restorative power of open space land are hard to see,
hard to measure, and hard to put a price tag on.”
In the past, these invisible, life-sustaining processes could be taken for granted.
“For 200 years, Texas maintained itself,” said Steve Nelle, a wildlife consultant who
worked with the Natural Resources Conservation Service for 35 years, said. “The
land base, in relation to human population and development, was large enough to
keep the natural processes functioning.”

LANDS OF TEXAS MAGAZINE
CHANGING TEXAS
It is no secret Texas is changing. In 1990, the population
of Texas was 19 million. Today, 26 million people live here.
By 2050, some estimates indicate there will be more than
54 million residents.
“From a land perspective, our robust economy is a
blessing and a curse,” said Dr. Roel Lopez, director for
Texas A&M Institute of Renewable Natural Resources.
“People are coming to Texas seeking jobs and
opportunities. More people mean more demands for
natural resources, but land is a finite resource.”
The population growth is driving demand for open
space land especially in proximity to metro areas. As
a result, land values are increasing, exacerbating land
conversion and land fragmentation. Land conversion
occurs when open space land is developed and taken out
of agricultural and/or ecological production, while land
fragmentation occurs when larger tracts are broken into
smaller parcels, Lopez said. Once land is fragmented or
converted, it is unlikely to return to its previous condition,
he said.
“Texas is losing rural and agricultural land faster than
any other state in the country,” said Dr. Andy Sansom,
director for the Meadows Center for Water and the
Environment at Texas State University. According to
the most recent Texas Land Trends study, “No Land,
No Water: Tools and Strategies for Conserving Land to
Protect Water,” the Lone Star State experienced a net loss
of 1.1 million acres of privately owned farms, ranches and
forests from 1997 to 2012.
The disappearance of Texas’ legendary wide, open
spaces combined with an increasing demand for natural
resources has long-term implications for the state’s wellbeing.
“Land is nature’s ecological infrastructure,” said David
K. Langford, vice president emeritus of TWA. “Natural
systems don’t function optimally when the land is broken
into small pieces and covered with asphalt. Demand for
natural resources threatens to outstrip supply, so we can’t
take the ‘invisible’ systems for granted any longer.”
THE ROLE OF PRIVATE LANDOWNERS
In law enforcement, a thin blue line represents the
police who stand between chaos and order. Private land
stewards play a similar role in conservation. They are
the thin green line protecting the land’s infrastructure
and providing a host of benefits known collectively as
ecological services for the rest of society.
Sansom said, “Given that 95 percent of the landscape
in Texas is owned by private citizens, the health of all of
our watersheds, aquifer recharge areas, wildlife habitat
and open space is dependent on their stewardship. The
terrestrial environment of Texas is in their hands.”
The voluntary management of land by private landowners
falls under the mantle of stewardship. Stewardship implies
both a responsibility and an emotional tie to the land.
“Genuine land stewards have a tender conscience toward
the land,” Nelle said. “They make land management
decisions with the awareness their management not only
affects them and their families, but people far beyond
their fence lines as well as our collective future. To
genuine land stewards, their management efforts reflect
a sacred trust.”
THE LAND/WATER CONNECTION
While the ecological infrastructure of open space land
provides many societal benefits, the most obvious is
clean, plentiful water.
“When it comes to water, Texas is unlike any other state,”
Langford said. “Almost all of the water used in Texas
originates in Texas as rain that falls on private lands.”
Well-managed rangelands are Mother Nature’s sponge
capturing the rain. When the complex, large-scale
ecological processes involved in rainfall capture function
optimally, floods are reduced, aquifers are replenished,
and water is released more slowly and steadily into
springs, streams, rivers, lakes and eventually bays and
estuaries.
“If the land is healthy, the quality and quantity of water –
both surface and groundwater – available to our citizens
reflects that condition,” he said.
As landscapes are broken into smaller pieces, natural
cycles may be disrupted. In the case of water, conversion
or fragmentation reduces the overall size of the
“sponge.” There is not only less open rangeland to soak
up rain, there are more hardscapes such as parking lots,
sidewalks, roads and roofs that cause rain to run-off,
36

disrupting the water cycle further.
Additionally, smaller parcels make land management
more challenging. Every landowner’s land management
goals are different. For instance, when a thousand-acre
ranch with a single owner is divided into 10-acre parcels
and sold to 100 new owners, it becomes much more
difficult to apply a comprehensive land management
plan that affects the entire landscape, Lopez said.
Applying specific management practices such as
prescribed burning can be much more expensive per acre
on small tracts, and may be impossible because of the
proximity of neighbors, Lopez said.
“Once land is fragmented, it becomes more likely to
be converted,” Lopez said. “Over time, the landscape
changes forever.”
CHANGING MINDSETS
Texans have migrated from rural areas to urban centers.
Today, 86 percent of Texans live in the city. Many have
no direct connection to rural land despite the fact that
84 percent of Texas is rural. By 2020, it is estimated
that 90 percent of the state’s populace will live in five
metropolitan counties. This creates a communication
challenge for the landowner and natural resource
communities.
“For people who have never experienced nature, it’s
easy to assume the water they drink originates in their
taps,” Simons said. “Because they don’t understand the
connection between the well-managed ranches upstream
and their local water supply, the public overlooks the
importance of rural land in their lives. Rural land is
dismissed as irrelevant when it is essential.”
While educating the majority of the state’s population
is daunting, the natural resource community is focusing
on reaching policy makers. They are a much smaller
group whose actions can directly impact the future of
open space land in Texas, particularly if they can create
genuine incentives to support the conservation efforts of
private landowners.
“Even when you look at the nation as a whole, slightly
more than 60 percent of our land is in private hands,
including the majority of our most productive range and
ag lands,” Simons said. “As Aldo Leopold wrote in 1934,
‘Conservation will ultimately boil down to rewarding the
private landowner who conserves the public’s interest.’”
It asserts the new premise that if he fails to do so, his
neighbors must ultimately pay the bill.
The entry point for meaningful conversation is the costeffectiveness
of private land stewardship. When it comes
to water, conserving private lands is less expensive than
most engineering solutions.
In the 1990s, New York City was faced with a dilemma.
The quality of its water supply, which is derived from
the Delaware-Catskills watershed, was deteriorating.
One of the causes was non-point source pollution from
agriculture and other sources. The engineering solution
was a filtration plant that would cost $10 billion to
construct and $1 million per day to operate.
Faced with that potential price tag, policy makers
began working with local landowners to eliminate nonpoint
source pollution while keeping the lands open
and productive. The Watershed Agricultural Council
purchased development rights from landowners. As of
2012, the council had spent $30 million in its efforts. The
water quality of New York City met all federal standards.
San Antonio has implemented a similar program to
protect the rangelands in the aquifer’s recharge zone.
Voters have approved $180 million so far. The money
provides an additional income stream which helps
keep private landowners on the land implementing
conservation.
“Private landowners voluntarily bear the cost of
conservation on their lands while supporting their local
communities and paying taxes,” Langford said. “It’s
fiscally sound public policy to help landowners stay on
the land protecting the source of our water, our clean air,
our food, our clothing, our shelter, and our raw energy.”
Private land stewardship also provides a cost-effective
alternative to government ownership.
“We could invest the entire Texas state budget for a
year in public land acquisition and only change the
percentage of land in public ownership by maybe one
percent,” Sansom said. “Then, we’d have to spend
tax dollars for the management and care of those
acquisitions. While we should continue to invest in public
land for parks and other purposes, we can’t purchase
enough land in our state to provide the environmental
benefits we receive from a well cared for private
landscape.”

The simplest way to evaluate the strength of your website, is
to pretend you are a buyer, sit down in front of a computer and
go to your website. Ask yourself these 10 Questions.
1. When you click on your home page, does it look

Love of the land is encoded in Charles
Davidson’s DNA.
“As a kid growing up in Houston, I spent
every minute I could playing in the
woods nearby and dreaming of owning a
ranch,” Davidson, a former Texas Wildlife
Association (TWA) president and San
Antonio-based partner in Republic Ranches,
said. “My high school classmates were
pretty sure I’d be living by myself on a
mountain somewhere shooting something.”
Once Davidson and his friends got old
enough to drive they spent every free
moment at a friend’s ranch located along
the Brazos River in the vicinity of Brookshire.
They hunted dove and ducks, fished a lot
and built a log cabin by hand. Davidson
also spent summers working on that prairie
ranch as well as a family friend’s ranch
Montague County in north Texas.
“From the beginning, it was clear to me land
and outdoor pursuits were part of who I
am,” Davidson said.
When it came time for college, Davidson
chose to attend Washington and Lee
University in Virginia. One of the primary
reasons was upperclassmen got to live in
the country. His last two years of college, he
had a trout stream in the front yard and big
game trails out back.
“Loving the land and the outdoors is in my
genes, but I’m not sure where it came from,”
Davidson said.
While the rest of his immediate family
enjoys the outdoors, they are also content
to watch sporting events on television. Given
the opportunity, Davidson would much
rather wet a lure or try to rattle up a buck.
“My mother, father and brother appreciate
the outdoors, but they’re not into it,”
Davidson said. “I’m into it. Whether I’m
hunting, fishing or just looking at cows, the
outdoors is where I find my sense of place
and sense of peace.”

LANDS OF TEXAS MAGAZINE
A PERSONAL PASSION FOR LAND
In 2002, Davidson bought a ranch in South Texas intending
to manage it for prime hunting and keep it forever. In 2003, he
married Keli and they began a family soon after. She preferred
the rugged beauty of the Hill Country to the thorny tangle of the
Brush Country. They compromised.
Davidson, wanting the ranch to be central to their children’s
lives, sold the South Texas ranch and the couple began their
search for a Hill Country property within their price range that
had the features that mattered to them both. They looked and
looked.
“I like land with character that is a bit rough-and-tumble so
there’s always something new to be discovered,” Davidson said.
“We kept being shown places that were beautiful but tame. After
being on them for an hour and a half, we’d seen every bit of it.”
Finally, they found their perfect ranch in Real County about
seven miles east-southeast of Leakey.
“After seven years of being on it, I still haven’t scratched the
surface of what’s hidden in its nooks and crannies,” Davidson
said. It is low-fenced and managed for wildlife and livestock.
“In South Texas, I worked very hard and very deliberately
at restoring native rangeland, managing brush, developing
water and improving the deer herd through efforts such as
the Managed Lands Deer Permit program,” Davidson said. “I’m
doing similar things on our Hill Country property, but at a much
slower pace. With the birth of our children, my primary goal is
creating a place we can all enjoy so they are inspired to love the
outdoors.”
He admitted he’d like to grow hunters but is not sure his
daughters, who are 10 and nine, will grow up to be consumptive
outdoors enthusiasts. While they love to fish and be outside,
hunting may not be a passion. The couple’s five-year-old son
seems to be drawn to the hunting blind.
“It’s fun to watch the kids’ interests develop,” Davidson said.
“None of them are exactly alike. We’re not going to pressure
anyone into anything, but give them every opportunity to
appreciate the great outdoors.”
In Davidson’s mind, one of the benefits of managing land
under a low-fence is the uncertainty. Management success
depends on a working relationship with the neighbors as well as
the ability to respond to changing conditions. For instance, their
ranching neighborhood is inhabited by free-ranging aoudad and
elk, which had a definite impact on white-tailed deer habitat. It
also makes for fun evenings on the ranch house back porch.
“One evening there was a bull elk bugling across the
canyons,” Davidson said. “I got my call and bugled back. He and
I talked back and forth. Eventually he came running up about
200 yards from our house ready for a fight.”
While he is dedicated to improving the land, Davidson
doesn’t want to overshadow its true character. He came to this
realization during a brush management project on his South
Texas ranch. He had carefully mapped out a mosaic brush
sculpting pattern on a 167-acre pasture. When the contractor
was about to leave, Davidson made a snap decision to cut strips
through the brush on another section of the ranch.
“The hasty decision didn’t yield the same positive results
of the planned program because it created a ‘hard corner
environment’ that looked unnatural on the landscape,” Davidson
said. “I make management mistakes sometimes, but I’m always
learning and trying to do the right thing.”
A CONSERVATIONIST’S PASSION FOR LAND
Davidson got involved in TWA when his lifelong friend
Jaime Hayne, also a former TWA president, lured him to the
organization’s annual convention. Hayne said, “Sometimes you
can get great hunts cheap [at the fundraising auction].”
Davidson took the bait. After the auction, he found himself
sitting around in the bar talking with some of the leading voices
in Texas conservation.
“I wanted to be part of that ongoing conversation,”
Davidson said. His interest led him to get more involved in the
organization, culminating in him serving as TWA president from
2005 – 2007 and as the president of the Texas Wildlife Association
Foundation (TWAF). In addition to his work with TWA and
TWAF, Davidson contributes his time and expertise to the Texas
Agricultural Land Trust and the Borderlands Research Institute for
Natural Resource Management at Sul Ross University.
“I commit my time to conservation and land stewardship in a
way I wouldn’t to other volunteer opportunities,” Davidson said.
“Taking care of natural resources is important to us all.”
TWA earned Davidson’s allegiance and effort because of its
broad-based approach to conservation. Comparing the TWA to a
huge live oak tree, Davidson likened each branch to an interest,
issue or natural resource, and the organization to the trunk
supporting them all.
“It’s easier to be an organization that is only concerned
with deer or turkeys or ducks or elk or private property rights,”
Davidson said. “TWA tackles it all on behalf of land stewards with
the goal of doing what is best for wildlife, wild places and the
people who care for them.”
In addition to the organization’s impact in so many
conservation arenas, Davidson also recognizes the power of
TWA’s network.

“My time at the TWA table furthered my interest in land
and allowed me to work with a group of great, like-minded
people from across the state,” Davidson said. “It has been
and continues to be a very rewarding experience. I value the
relationships that have grown out of it.”
A PROFESSIONAL’S PASSION FOR LAND
During his stint at TWA, Davidson and Hayne were traveling
together. Davidson told Hayne, “You know, I think I would’ve
rather been a wildlife biologist instead of an entrepreneur.”
At the time, Davidson was a principal in a light
manufacturing and distribution business. He has grown to
appreciate the financial freedom entrepreneurship afforded him.
“Being an entrepreneur allowed me to own my own place
and manage land and natural resources from a different
perspective,” Davidson said.
His experience at the manufacturing company, where his job
included managing a nationwide real estate portfolio used by
the firm, combined with his network of landowners and passion
for land opened the door to a partnership at Republic Ranches.
“I finished up my obligations to the manufacturing and
distribution company at midnight on November 15, 2011,”
Davidson said. “I activated my real estate license at 4:30 a.m.
the following day and began my career with Republic Ranches.”
He is one of four partners in the company. Each partner
lives in a different city, representing a different quadrant of
Texas and a different area of expertise. Jeff Boswell lives in
Houston with experience in aquaculture, wetlands and waterfowl
and hunting/fishing club operations; Bryan Pickens, based in
Dallas, has experience with timber and lake management; Mark
Matthews, a wildlife biologist and consultant with three decades
of experience in ranch building, makes his home in Hondo; and
Davidson lives in San Antonio bringing his experience in the
conservation and hunting communities to bear. They also have
12 associates located throughout Texas and Oklahoma giving the
company a statewide presence in both states.
“Each of us brings a unique network to the company and we
try to capitalize on that,” Davidson said. “Ranch real estate is a
relationship business.”
Networks help get things done. Last year, the company
completed a three-way transaction. One of the partners had
been working with a client for four years to acquire an adjoining
ranch belonging to another client; however, until the owner
of the adjoining ranch found the perfect place to move his
operations nothing could happen. The partner had a relationship
with another broker who notified him about a pending listing,
which met the needs of the adjoining landowner. Thanks to the
network Republic Ranches was able to secure contracts on this
complex multi-transaction deal quietly and efficiently, Davidson
said.
In addition, Republic Ranches relies on a teamwork approach
designed to give each client a multitude of options and
personalized service around the state. Recently, the company
had a client who sold a large ranch in the broader San Antonio
area and he wanted to purchase a replacement property, but
wasn’t sure where he wanted to buy.
Over the course of two and a half weeks, four Republic Ranch
professionals showed the client property in different parts of the
state. He found something he liked and bought one.
“The client wasn’t sure where he wanted to go, but by
working together we showed him places all over the state,”
Davidson said. “Our outfit is big enough and expansive enough
to meet people’s needs.”
As a complement to the professionalism, the associates and
partners at Republic Ranches enjoy what they do and make sure
it’s fun. As an example, the company has formed a strategic
alliance with Fay Ranches in Montana giving Texas clients access
to western ranches and vice versa. Republic hosted a gathering
that involved “going fishing, drinking whiskey, burning meat
and talking business around the fire” with their guests from Fay
Ranches.
“I love selling ranch real estate,” Davidson said. “When I go
to work on Saturdays, which I do, it sure is nice to ride around
on a Ranger® talking to a prospective rancher about what
he wants to accomplish on the property he is looking for. Day
in and day out, I get to help people solve problems and find
opportunities, while seeing awesome country all over this great
state. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

Habitat Management Practices
for Wildlife Valuation
BY RUBEN CANTU AND GREG SIMONS
WILDLIFE BIOLOGISTS, WILDLIFE CONSULTANTS, LLC
While agricultural tax valuation is fairly common,
Texas landowners have a unique opportunity to qualify
for wildlife management valuation. Under wildlife
management valuation, just as under agriculture
valuation, the ad valorem tax is assessed on production
value not on market value.
Wildlife management valuation allows for practices
such as livestock grazing, but does not require
them. This gives landowners additional management
flexibility, while providing the significant tax savings of
agricultural valuation.
Almost any property that has qualified for
agricultural valuation for the past five years can be
transitioned to wildlife valuation. The Central Appraisal
District in each county is the final decision-maker when
it comes to both agricultural and wildlife valuation.
The transition requires landowners to complete a
1-d-1 Open Space Appraisal Application and a Wildlife
Management Plan. (All necessary forms are available
on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s website.
For complete details on transitioning to a wildlife
management tax valuation, see our article that
appeared in the Spring 2014 edition of Lands of Texas
magazine.)
As part of the Wildlife Management Plan
landowners must choose to apply three of seven
approved management practices to their property.
The seven practices are: providing supplemental food,
supplemental shelter, supplemental water, habitat
control/management, erosion control, predator control,
and conducting at least one census annually.
When choosing the wildlife management practices
to incorporate on their property, landowners must first
identify their land and wildlife management goals.
The goals should reflect their personal desires, not the
desires of a consultant, the chief appraiser or anyone
who isn’t responsible for managing the property.
In addition, the wildlife species that landowners
choose to manage for must be native species. Also,
wildlife management practices must reach a certain
“intensity level” appropriate for the property’s size, the
species and the habitat present.
Finally, landowners should accurately identify
which ecoregion is home to their land. A map of
Texas’ 10 ecoregions is available as part of Guidelines
for Qualification of Agricultural Land in Wildlife
Management Use available on both the on the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department’s and Texas Comptroller’s
websites. The Comprehensive Wildlife Management
P G
available on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
website.
Because each ecoregion is different, so are the
specific management practices approved within each
ecoregion. To qualify for—and maintain—wildlife
management valuation it is important that landowners
choose practices specific to their locale. For instance,
planting wind breaks is an effective, recognized
practice for controlling wind erosion. While it is highly
recommended throughout the Texas Panhandle, it is
not necessary or practical in the Piney Woods. If a
landowner planted wind breaks in Marion County or
any of the surrounding forested environs, the County
Appraisal District might not recognize those efforts as a
qualifying wildlife management practice.
Again, landowners must implement wildlife
management practices in at least three of the seven
LANDSOFAMERICAMAGAZINES.COM 51
categories. It is acceptable to apply more than three.

MARKET
LANDS OF TEXAS MAGAZINE
SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD
Landowners can supplement wildlife’s diets by
creating food plots, using feeders or by increasing
plant diversity by planting native species.
Food plots are not just for big game like deer. They
can be planted for upland game birds, migratory
birds or even monarch butterflies. The key is
identifying the plants that are adapted to the
location and meet the dietary requirements of the
species being managed.
Like food plots, feeders can be used for big game
such as protein feeders for white-tailed deer or for
smaller species like neotropical songbirds. (As a
note for deer enthusiasts, corn feeders generally
do not qualify as a supplemental food source. The
local County Appraisal District will make the final
determination.) Neotropical birds are very popular.
Different birds require different types of feeders.
Landowners can provide an entire complement
ranging from hummingbird feeders, seed feeders,
finch feeders and suet feeders to meet all of the
birds’ needs.
In the High Plains and Rolling Plains, landowners
who have land enrolled in CRP that is planted in a
grass monoculture can overseed the fields with a
native plant mixture to create a diverse “buffet.”
SUPPLEMENTAL SHELTER
The best shelter is good habitat, but supplemental
shelters can provide “transitional housing” while
the habitat improves. Supplemental shelter is
most commonly used for birds. For instance, cavity
nesting birds such as bluebirds, woodpeckers and
wood ducks can benefit from bird boxes when old
growth trees with cavities aren’t available.
On a property we manage near Rockwall, the
landowners were clearing some wooded areas. We
asked them to leave select large trunks standing
to create snags suitable for nesting. Landowners
interested in creating covered nesting sites for can
also half cut trees along fence lines or leave brush
piles intact until after the nesting season.
SUPPLEMENTAL WATER
Providing supplemental water is simply increasing
water sources available for wildlife. While these water
sources can be guzzlers or other pre-fabbed waterers,
they also can be a purposeful overflow of windmills or
water troughs. By doing this, water accumulates for
wildlife and birds. The wet area also attracts insects
which generate prime bugging areas for birds.
In the Piney Woods, landowners can flood hardwood
forests to establish green tree reservoirs for ducks.
Playa lakes are flooded in the High Plains and Rolling
Plains to create prime waterfowl habitat.
Constructing marshes is also a way to provide
supplemental water.
HABITAT CONTROL
The Comptroller’s Office dubbed this category Habitat
Control although Habitat Management would be a
more suitable name. Habitat, like so many things in
nature, can’t be controlled only managed.
Landowners engaged in habitat management are
actively creating an environment beneficial to wildlife.
Tools at the landowners’ disposal include rotational
livestock grazing, prescribed burning, and mechanical,
chemical or biological brush management. Reseeding
native plant species also falls under this category.
The activities can vary from managing the brushy
understory in the Piney Woods to creating feeding
and roosting locations for migrating waterfowl in
playa lakes in the Texas Panhandle. In other areas of
the state where brush is too dense, landowners can
practice brush management to create more “edge.”
Throughout the state, landowners can use prescribed
burning to rejuvenate rangelands and improve
foraging opportunities for wildlife.
EROSION CONTROL
Water and wind are the primary forces of erosion.
Erosion control techniques help landowners keep
valuable topsoil in place protecting the land’s fertility,
its ability to hold water, and often water quality.
52

WW
WW
Generally, erosion control involves gently shaping
the land to slow down water flow keeping the soil in
place. It can also involve revegetating areas around
stock tanks and in ripari san areas.
Occasionally there are dual purpose projects. For
instance, if a landowner constructs a pond in an
area prone to erosion, the pond may be considered
both erosion control and supplemental water.
Wind erosion is most prevalent in the High Plains
and Rolling Plains. Primary management techniques
include planting wind breaks or grass cover crops to
mitigate the wind’s destructive force.
PREDATOR CONTROL
Predator control in the context of wildlife
management tax valuation is intended to help
landowners better manage for target species. The
classic example comes from the Hill Country where
landowners managing for endangered black-capped
vireos actively trap brown-headed cowbirds, which
parasitize the vireos’ nests.
In other areas of the state, landowners may trap
raccoons, foxes and other small mammals just prior
to nesting season to allow ground nesting birds
such as quail or turkey to more successfully hatch
and raise their broods. Fire ants are also considered
a predator for ground nesting birds in the eastern
half of Texas. In the Trans Pecos, predator control
efforts may target mountain lions or coyotes to help
protect mule deer fawns.
ANNUAL CENSUS
An annual census, using recognized survey or
inventory methods, is the landowner’s measuring
stick. The first census creates a population
baseline. Each succeeding census tells landowners
how their management efforts are affecting
the species. Is the species stable? Increasing?
Decreasing?
Appropriate survey methods exist for every species.
They range from spotlight, aerial and camera
surveys for white-tailed deer to roost counts
for turkeys to whistle counts for quail. Survey
techniques exist for non-game species as well.
Wildlife biologists can help determine the best
method. The biologists can conduct the survey or
teach landowners how to do it themselves.
As we’ve said before, landowners must have at
least three approved management practices.
Because gauging the effect of management
on the species is so important, we recommend
that census taking always be one of the three
practices selected. A good census confirms for the
landowner—and the Central Appraisal District—
progress is being made on the land.

The True
Story of
Water
Usage in
Hydraulic
Fracturing
BY ROBERT FEARS
Land brokers and real estate agents, among others in
Texas, have witnessed first-hand the positive economic
impacts of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing
(fracking), which make it possible for producers to tap
vast deposits of natural gas and oil trapped in tight sand
and shale formations. Builders work day and night to
construct enough homes and hotels to house production
people moving into Texas communities. Restaurants
stay full 24 hours a day and retailers enjoy high cash
flows. Many landowners receive monthly royalty checks
that enhance life styles at a higher plane than they
have previously experienced. Increased tax payments
by the oil companies have added to the state coffers
as well. The downside of the economic bonanza is that
roads are being pulverized by heavy trucks constantly
moving equipment and products and utilities and other
infrastructures are strained by the sudden population
growth.
As this article is being written, the oil industry is in a
cooling period with depressed pricing and reduced drilling
activity. On April 10, West Texas Intermediate crude oil
was reported at $51.64 per barrel by Baker-Hughes. A year
ago on April 10, the price was $103.40 per barrel. The U.S.
rig count on April 10 was 843 less than a year ago due to
the drop in oil prices.
When an activity draws as much attention as
fracking, people begin to look for negative impacts,
particularly when they are not directly benefiting from
the development. Groups have formed to oppose fracking
based on several concerns and some are justifiable.
One of the primary concerns is depletion of our ever
shrinking water supplies. A huge amount of information
on water usage in fracking has been distributed, some
of it is factual. A correct resolution of any issue can only
be obtained with facts delivered by qualified experts on
the subject. Often the truth is masked by pseudo experts
making the most noise. So, what is the true story of water
usage in hydraulic fracturing?
Michael MacRae, an independent writer, prepared the
following history for the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers: “The mechanical principles of fracking have
not changed since the first brave shooter dropped an
explosive charge down a well in the 1860s. Then as now,
the task is to deliver a powerful force to a designated
underground depth, fracturing rock formations around
the well to stimulate release of trapped oil or gas.”
Modern methods of fracturing use high-pressure jets
of water and sand to break up shale formations. Water
rushes into the newly-opened pore space during fracking
and carries sand deep into the rock formation. Sand holds
the fractures open and allows a flow of oil or natural gas,
even when the pump is turned off and water pressure is
reduced.
“The first use of hydraulic fracturing in oil and natural
gas wells in the United States was done over 60 years ago,”
Hobart King wrote for Geology.com. “Halliburton Oil Well
Cementing Company was issued a patent for the procedure
in 1949. The method successfully increased well production
rates and the practice quickly spread. It is now used
throughout the world in thousands of wells every year.”
56

WATER USAGE IN PERSPECTIVE
“A typical early fracture took 750 gallons of fluid
(water, gelled crude oil, or gelled kerosene) and 400
pounds of sand,” said MacRae. “By contrast, modern
methods can use up to eight million gallons of water and
75,000 to 320,000 pounds of sand. Fracking fluids can
take the form of foams, gels, or slick water combinations
(water plus chemicals). The chemicals often include
benzene, hydrochloric acid, friction reducers, guar gum,
biocides and diesel fuel.”
According to Chesapeake Energy, an initial drilling
operation may require from 6,000 to 600,000 gallons of
fracking fluids of which water is the largest component.
Water and sand can be more than 99.5 percent of the
fracturing fluid with one-half percent chemicals or less.
Chesapeake says that an additional 5 million gallons may
be required for full operation and possible re-stimulation
frack jobs. These quantities seen huge, but they are small
when compared to other water uses within the state.
“Texas uses about 711 million gallons of water each
day with 60 percent going to agriculture, 15 percent to
industry and 25 percent directly to the state’s citizens,”
estimates the Water Development Board. “Mining,
including oil and gas production, is one to two percent of
the state’s total water use.”
A 2013 study, completed by The University of Texas
– Austin’s Bureau of Economic Geology, shows that
the amount of water used in hydraulic fracturing has
increased sharply in recent years due to the surge of
oil and natural gas production. In this study, funded by
the Texas Oil and Gas Association, it was found that
total water use for fracking in Texas rose by about 125
percent, from 36,000 acre-feet in 2008 to about 81,500
acre-feet in 2011. For comparison, the city of Austin used
approximately 107,000 acre-feet of water in 2011. About
one-fifth of the current total amount used in fracking
comes from recycled or brackish water, a category that is
growing. It was also found in the study, that the amount
of water used in fracking will level off sometime in the
decade beginning in 2020, as the industry’s rapid growth
rate cools and water recycling technologies mature.
TIME magazine reported on a University of Texas
study that showed fracking for natural gas actually saves
water by making it easier for utilities to switch from
thirsty coal plants to more efficient natural gas power.
Researchers collected water utilization data from all 423
of the state’s power plants to estimate the amount that
can be saved by switching from coal to natural gas. Coal
fired generation plants use 25 to 50 times more water
than required for fracking to extract the shale gas. Their
calculations also showed that Texas would have consumed
an extra 32 billion gallons of water if all its natural gasfired
plants were burning coal instead.
“The bottom line is that our electric power system can
become more drought resilient by boosting natural gas
production with fracking and moving the state away from
water-intensive coal technologies,” said Bridget Scanlon,
senior research scientist at the University of Texas’ Bureau
of Economic Geology and the lead author on the study.
WATER CONSERVATION THROUGH RECYCLING
“The natural-gas industry uses a number of methods
to recycle drilling waste, reports SourceWatch. “Some
drillers use recycling equipment at the well site or truck
the water to a recycling facility where the wastewater is
filtered, evaporated and then distilled, to be used again
for fracking. Other companies add fresh water to the
wastewater, to dilute the salts and other contaminants,
before pumping it back in the ground for hydro fracturing.
Any fracking sludge from the various recycling processes is
taken to landfills or is sent to injection disposal wells.”
Texas Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick
hosted a Texas Oil and Gas Water Conservation and
Recycling Symposium in Austin during May of last year.
At the symposium, industry representatives updated
Commissioner Craddick and staff on industry best
practices in water recycling and conservation and
discussed future directions, challenges and opportunities
to further save water. Twenty-six companies with recycling
operations were represented, and 15 companies gave
presentations on their recycling achievements.
The companies reported to-date recycling capacity
of up to 1.5 million barrels of water per day. They have
recycled up to 50 million barrels of water since industry
focus to increase recycling began in 2012 and are using
recycled produced water to account for up to 100 percent
of their water needs in energy production. The amount
of produced water hauled by trucking and disposed
underground has decreased, and will continue to decrease
exponentially. Produced water is now a resource and
sold as a commodity for re-use in hydraulic fracturing
operations.
There is a lot of good news on hydraulic fracturing
while further concerns will be addressed with technology
developed through research.

ENSURING TEXANS’
RIGHTS TO
HUNT AND FISH
BY DAVID YEATES, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
The Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) has been actively involved
in a wide range of issues during the 84th Session of the Texas
Legislature. These run the gamut of landowner concerns ranging
from groundwater and eminent domain to state agency funding.
The agenda also includes a proposed state constitutional
amendment that would establish the right of Texans to hunt and
fish.
Sen. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, filed SJR 22 and Rep. Trent
Ashby, R-Lufkin, filed HJR 61 to initiate the process. At the time
of this writing, both bills have been heard in subcommittees and
voted to the floors of each chamber for full votes. Proposed
constitutional amendments must pass each chamber by a twothirds
vote before proceeding to the ballot for a public vote in
November 2015.
The proposed amendment reads: “The people have the right to
hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife, including by the use of traditional
methods, subject to laws or regulations to conserve and manage
wildlife and preserve the future of hunting and fishing.” The
bill also addresses regulatory challenges, property rights and
trespassing.
The effort is intended to preserve the privileges we enjoy
now, with an eye to Texas’ changing demographics and the
uncertainty it brings. On its face, the Constitutional amendment
strikes us a good idea; however, the progression from a privilege
to a right should not be taken lightly.
Section 1.011 of Texas Parks and Wildlife Code clearly and
explicitly states the wild animals, birds, and fish inside the borders
of Texas are the property of the people of this state. This is
commonly known as the Public Trust Doctrine, a concept dating
back to ancient Rome that has been reaffirmed in the United
States by two separate turn-of-the-century Supreme Court
cases.
The Public Trust Doctrine states fish and game are held in trust
by government for the benefit of all citizens. It is the cornerstone
of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation and was
critical in curbing the market hunting that decimated bison,
drove passenger pigeons to extinction, and nearly extirpated
white-tailed deer from Texas. The fact that the fish and game of
Texas belong to all Texans is the predicate for a right to hunt and
fish, providing a legal basis for the right to be established.
As one of the state’s largest outdoor associations, whose
mission includes protecting the hunting heritage of Texas,
we support an effort to enshrine hunting and fishing in the
Texas Constitution. Our rich outdoor tradition and sporting
heritage has a deep cultural impact on our state, but the
benefits of hunting and fishing go much farther touching every
person who calls Texas home.
Not only does the outdoor industry drive employment (65,000
jobs), state and local tax revenues ($415 million annually),
investment and consumption ($4.1 billion annually), and
the preponderance of conservation efforts (both public and
private), it also has a subtle but critical impact on the Texas’
rural landscape. By protecting the industry, we protect the value
of fish and wildlife for hunters and anglers, thereby protecting
financial incentives for landowners to provide and manage
quality habitat.
Quality habitat provides a home for not only game species, but
non-game species including those that are endangered as well.
Quality habitat results in productive open spaces that act as air
and water filters for our entire state. Aside from ranching, no
other enterprise in Texas has such a direct, substantial effect on
maintaining open space and quality habitat.
The same applies to inland and coastal fisheries: quality
habitat means healthy ecosystems and therefore a healthier
human population. The societal benefits are irrefutable and
immeasurable.
It’s important for the hunting, angling and landowner
communities to communicate these benefits to the public. Based
on license sales, hunters and anglers represent about 15 percent
of the state’s population; therefore, the success of this initiative
can’t be taken for granted. There will almost certainly be wellfunded
opposition by national organizations that seek to curb
hunting in the name of animal rights or gun control. We must
not let them prevail in court of public opinion.
It’s easy to assume Texas voters will do the right thing, but
they must be educated to recognize what the right thing is.
Every hunter, angler, landowner, and conservationist should get
informed and help spread the facts to friends, neighbors, and
anyone else who will listen.
Voter turnout will determine the success of this important
initiative, so we must all do everything we can to get informed
voters to the polls in November. Make sure to register to vote
and then exercise that right. It’s our duty and responsibility as
stewards of the great state of Texas.

There has been much discussion this past spring at TLBN regarding
the depression of oil prices and its effect on our land markets. Well,
summer is here and we are all beginning to see what 2015 will hold for
our Texas land market. In much of the state we continue to see new highs on premium properties fueled by
very strong buyer motivation and purchase ability. In other parts of the this great state, we are seeing some
slight degradation of pricing due to local influences. Groundwater, drought, border security, eminent domain,
and now oil prices continue to challenge the market, in very localized ways. One thing TLBN members are
passionate about, and that’s listing property. We hope that some farm and ranch inventory begins to make
itself available, as we all have buyers still begging for good property.
We are excited to launch our newly improved website as well, TexasLandBrokersNetwork.com, and hope that
it serves our members and their clients well.
We hope your tanks are full and the grass is deep,

TEXAS ALLIANCE OF LAND BROKERS
It was great to see so many of our members at the 24th Annual Outlook for Texas Land Markets Conference in San Antonio in
late April. This months meeting will be held in the large banquet room at the Fredericksburg Inn & Suites, 201 South Washington,
Fredericksburg – www.fredericksburg-inn.com/map-and-directions-en.html. Catering by Andy’s Steak & Seafood Grille, aka Andy’s
Diner, May 27th beginning at 11:15 a.m. in Fredericksburg. TALB Board Member Neal Reah with The Real Estate Advisory Team and Bo
Padgett of Padgett Real Estate will sponsor and pay for our lunch meeting.
Our speaker will be Wayne Roitsch with The Texas 1031 Exchange Company. Wayne has been a Certified Exchange Specialist® since
2006 and has been facilitating exchanges full time since 2003. Wayne has been active in the Federation of Exchange Accommodators
and currently serves on the CES® Certification Council. While he is also a licensed Texas real estate salesperson, he does not actively
list or sell properties but does stay apprised of the latest developments in the real estate field. Wayne started his career in production agriculture and agribusiness.
He graduated from Texas A&M University in 1969. With Congress and the current Administration considering the repeal of the 1031 Exchange, Wayne will
update the membership on its status and the negative effect it will have on our industry. Wayne has been a very active member with the Texas Alliance of Land
Brokers for many years and has serviced many of our clients over the years with professionalism and great communication skills. We look forward to his timely
presentation.
We welcome the following new members : Ashley Drefke with Capital Farm Credit in Kerrville; Terese Peabody with Stanberry & Associates in Dripping Springs;
Carl Olson and Luke Olson with Olson Properties in San Antonio; Jim Warren with The Real Estate Advisory Team in Fredericksburg. Looking forward to their
networking and participation with the Alliance.
The light that shines brightly on the TALB organization flickered recently with the passing of two of its dearest members. Matt Seymour and John Fambrough
were Lifetime Members of the Texas Alliance of Land Brokers. Both men exhibited great courage and exemplified the type of people this organization built its
reputation on.
John Allen Fambrough was raised in Raymondville, Texas and graduated from Texas A&I in Kingsville in 1956 with a degree in Agriculture. He enjoyed a long,
successful career as a U.S. Army Signal Aviator, retiring with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. His military awards include the Bronze Star Medal with 1 Oak Leaf
Cluster, Air Medal with Numerals 6, Meritorious Service Medal with 1 Oak Leaf Cluster, Army Commandant Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Republic of
Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with 1 Silver & 1 bronze Service Stars, Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Palm, and Legion of Merit. Upon his
retirement from the military in 1980, John began a career as a Texas Ranch Broker. In 1994, John and several other ranch brokers were the charter members of
what is now known as the Texas Alliance of Land Brokers. He served on the Board of TALB several terms, and was President twice. In 2007, John became a certified
Quail Master. An avid hunter and fisherman, he had a great love and respect for the outdoors. John loved God, his family, his friends, and our country. TALB lost a
good friend but we are better men and women because of his humbleness, professionalism, ethics and genuine good heart.

BY CHARLES E. GILLILAND
As 2015 fades from spring into summer, Texas land markets look
back on 2014 with a 9 percent surge in prices reaching $2,354
per acre for the first time. This remarkable performance occurred
despite gathering headwinds signaled by falling prices for
agricultural products and finally an astonishing drop in oil prices.
Those circumstances created an atmosphere of uncertainty as
2015 land markets emerged from the record-breaking year.
As the price and volume charts reveal, land prices have resumed a
steady increasing trend since 2011 and the number of transactions
have improved from the muted level of activity in 2009, recovering
to 2007 levels. However, the turmoil in commodity prices plunged
many into an atmosphere of uncertainty. Some suggest that the
year will see volume stall again and perhaps see prices falter as
well. Despite misgivings about the overall health of the Texas
economy, the future may well see markets continue to improve.
First, alternative investments continue to offer meager returns.
Bonds still don’t pay well. Indeed, some yields are flirting with
negative interest rates. Second, offshore funds are flooding into
U.S. real estate markets. Even German money has reportedly
begun to drive up real estate prices. These forces may swamp the
brooding negative sentiment born of falling oil prices. In addition,
if oil prices firm to $65 - $70 by year’s end, 2015 markets may post
another strong performance.

WATER
Pinto Creek ranch is home to two, year-round, live water streams. About
one mile of Pinto Creek and two miles of West Pinto Creek meander
through the ranch, eventually converging. At the convergence, they’re
dammed, creating an oasis for canoeing, kayaking, and fly fishing for the
native species found in the creeks.
The water course, lined with large pecans and elms, creates an environment
similar to that found on the banks of the Guadalupe River without the
crowds. Because both banks of the creeks are within the ranch’s interior,
the experience is completely private and protected from trespass.
Pinto Creek Ranch also has two artesian wells, one of which produces 200
gallons–250 gallons per minute year-round. It flows to the surface without
a pump, filling the three-acre reservoir near the main house. The water
gravity-flows from the reservoir providing irrigation to the property’s
farming operation.
A second artesian well produces about 60 gallon per minute. Its everpresent
water helps drought-proof the ranch. The water flows into a
system of six-inch PVC pipe that connects the artesian well to all of the
ranch’s stock tanks, ensuring they will never run dry. All of the tanks have
been stocked with black bass, sun perch, and catfish for hours of angling
fun.
In addition, Pinto Creek Ranch owns 130-acre feet of grandfathered
irrigation (pumping) rights out of Pinto Creek, which will transfer with
the ranch’s sale. An acre-foot of water equals 325,851 gallons. The new
owner of Pinto Creek Ranch will have access to more than 42.4 million
gallons of water from Pinto Creek each year through these rights. Irrigation
(pumping) rights in Texas are an asset.
Pinto Creek Ranch, which sits above the Trinity-Edwards Aquifer, is
governed by the Kinney County Water District. Other water districts
in the region typically grant two acre-feet of water for every surface acre
owned. If the Kinney County Water District follows this precedent, the
owner of Pinto Creek Ranch, based on its 2,447-acre size, could have
access to 4,894 acre-feet or more than 1.6 billion gallons of groundwater
per year.
As a reference point, Edwards Aquifer water rights, currently, are worth
$6,800 per transferrable acre-foot. If the Kinney County Water District
follows the precedent of other groundwater districts in the region, Pinto
Creek Ranch’s groundwater rights could be a significant economic asset.

FARMING
Pinto Creek Ranch is home to a 100-acre coastal hay field and a 100-
acre commercial pecan grove. With brush clearing, the farming operation
could be expanded to up to 800 acres.
The farming operation is irrigated using artesian well water. Because the
water flows to the surface without a pump, there is no electricity cost.
As any irrigated farmer can confirm, electricity is the highest input. The
ability to irrigate for free is a huge competitive advantage and bottom line
booster.
For those who don’t want to manage an agriculture operation, the access to
irrigation makes it possible to lease out the agricultural operation, creating
another income stream without the responsibilities of management.
WILDLIFE
For the past six years, the high-fenced ranch has been managed intensively
for white-tailed deer. The program has been built on superior, imported
genetics. During this past season, a hunter harvested a buck that scored
221 B&C. In addition to whitetails, the ranch is home to blackbuck
antelope and axis deer, both exotics, meaning hunting opportunities exist
year-round.
All feeders and blinds transfer with the sale. The ranch also has a 20’x40’
walk-in cooler and a commercial-quality meat room.
With its superior wildlife, top-notch equipment, and ample lodging, the
ranch could easily become a commercial hunting operation, creating
another income stream.

www.AHERNRANCHES.com
THE REST
While Pinto Creek Ranch offers a unique investment potential, it doesn’t
skimp on amenities that make family and friends want to gather around a
fire pit and make memories. The main house, with its soaring ceilings and
open floor plan, encourages people to mix and mingle. A three-bedroom
bunkhouse provides plenty of room for guests or hunting clients.
There is also a foreman’s house allowing someone to always be on-site. The
barns, which are insulated and built on concrete slabs, were originally used by
the San Antonio Livestock Show and Exposition to house livestock behind
the Joe and Harry Freeman Coliseum.

Evans Creek Ranch
335± ACRES | BANDERA COUNTY | PROPERTY ID: 547552
Evans Creek Ranch is located in the Texas Hill Country about 18 miles west of the
town of Medina, just off scenic Hwy 337, not far from Lost Maples State Park, in
Bandera County. The prime feature of this property is the lake formed by a dam
across Evans creek and lined with huge Cypress trees. This lake is over a quarter
of a mile long and is as deep as 25 feet. It is stocked with bass and catfish and
has a floating dock to fish and swim from. We are just finishing clearing some
cedar on the far side of the lake to enhance the Park look of the lake area and
to develop an alternate home site in case the new owner wants to build a new
lakeside home or cabin. The views of both the lake and the surrounding hills are
just awesome from this site. Another great feature is a rambling ranch house
that is decorated in the Ralph Lauren style (Cowboys, Indians, elk antler and
wagon-wheel chandeliers, steer hide rugs, and wood-plank ceilings) and has a
long screened in sleeping porch as well as four bedrooms and two baths. Most
of the furnishings, including lots of great antiques, will be available for sale
individually or as a package deal. Adjacent to the house is an old ceramic block
barn with a huge high fenced, irrigated garden that is planted in everything from
roses to cactus to peach trees. Other out-buildings include a three-car garage
with attached utility room and attached shop as well as a small equipment
barn and a hunters cabin. The terrain is diverse and includes about 65 acres
of flat fertile land as well as canyons, bluffs, and mountain tops. This ranch
would make a great week-end retreat with lots of activities including hunting,
fishing, swimming, boating, and hiking. It would also make a great horse place
or specialty farm (olives/lavender/wine grapes). REDUCED TO $2,250,000!

Caiman Ranch
22± ACRES | LA SALLE COUNTY | PROPERTY ID: 4333
Originally part of the 250,000-acre Callaghan Ranch, the Caiman Ranch
was in the same family from 1947–2008. About 140 miles south of San
Antonio, 55 miles northeast of Laredo and 20 miles east of Encinal, this
property is long known as the “Promised Land” for bruiser, whitetail
bucks. Caiman Ranch carries the reputation as one of the best whitetail
deer ranches in Texas. Deer taken from the ranch have consistently
won local contests, including Los Cazadores, the Muy Grande and the
Cola Blanca. This sportsman’s paradise also features an abundance
of turkey, wild hogs, quail and dove. The ranch is fenced and crossfenced
into four pastures and features eight-foot net wire game-proof
fencing along the eastern boundary and barbed wire fencing along
the remaining boundaries. All of the major South Texas brush species
are represented in abundance, including guajillo, guayacan, granjeno,
blackbrush, mesquite trees and huisache trees, which provide food
for wildlife, in addition to the excellent brush. Improvements include
a 4,200-square-foot, Spanish-style hacienda with six bedrooms, five
baths, concrete slab, stucco exterior, Saltillo tile floors, mostly nine-foot
ceilings, deep porches and a large walled courtyard with a traditional
outdoor fountain. Other buildings include a 1,700-square-foot foreman’s
house with three bedrooms and two baths, a 2,665-square-foot barn, a
1,640-square-foot shed and a 600-square-foot workshop. The Caiman
Ranch also features plentiful water and excellent level to gently rolling
topography. Ranging in elevation from 393 feet at the main entrance to
about 322-feet in the Los Olmos Creekbed, the ranch features soils with
clay or loam surface layers, which are the key to the excellent, diverse
vegetation. A 4,280-foot-deep well out of the Carrizo Aquifer supplies
water to the headquarters, one of two stock tanks on the ranch and
various water troughs. Wet-weather Olmos Creek flows through the
western section of the ranch, and holds pockets of water for extended
periods of time. This is the perfect opportunity for an outdoorsman
who desires to own one of the best whitetail deer herds in the state.

At Farm Credit, we’ve been a
comfortable fit with landowners
for nearly a century.
Farm Credit offers the agricultural financing
expertise our member-owners often can’t
find elsewhere. We understand the risks and
rewards involved in running an agricultural
operation. In many ways, we’re an extension
of the farm and ranch.
