About the author

The Texas General Land Office is a Texas state agency rather than an individual author. It was established in the nineteenth century to manage public lands and mineral rights, and it also oversees major historical resources and archives connected to the state's past.

In addition to its land-management role, the agency is known for preserving a remarkable collection of maps, records, and historical materials. Those archives have supported books and public-history projects that make Texas history more accessible to general readers.

For book listings, it makes sense to treat this as an institutional author: a public body with deep expertise in Texas land records, cartography, and historical documentation.
