Texas General Land Office

The Texas General Land Office was established in 1837 to keep record of land grants and maps; also to trace the history of our lone star state land. 






One of the GLO's primary responsibilities is to keep track of mineral and energy development. Oil spill prevention and response is our 
South Texas' office main duty.




Protecting our bay, requires everybody's participation. The GLO is constantly examining abandoned vessels, tracking down owners and preventing any further oil spills from happening.  The GLO has also created areas for people to properly dispose of  old oil in hopes that having this option will cutdown on spills.
