Insufficient Survey information.
I believe “More or Less” pretty well covers it.

I’m pretty sure that’s how he figured it, right after he got done putting his curve template away….

If the Old Highway were abandoned, the lot would go to the old centerline.
Thence the lot would be bigger, 2.7 acres +, More or Less.

That drawing is nothing more than chicken scratches on paper. Line bearings don’t check Delta angles, no data at all along the Easterly? line,nothing but a bearing on the Southerly line, no line intersection info at all. Like previously stated, planimeter derived area is the only way.

I would start with the Original HES (and follow the breadcrumbs forward)
I tried to upload the (.pdf) file, but it was too large

Paul in but in many Western
In many western States “abandonment” is not a simple matter. The public retains a ROW untill the appropriate public body officialy vacates it, unlike in other states where simply moving a road vacates the old position.

TxDot owns it until they deed it away.
There are several abandoned highways locally they deeded to the County and one that was originally purchased by the County to become a FM highway and is still in their ownership.Many surveys around here show all the way to the centerline or original boundary inside of the ROW to show mineral interest held and give a total acreage and less highway acreage and Net acreage of surface interest.
There are ROW maps that show less than that and it is practically “roll your own” boundaries in an existing kind of way.

Excuse me, you would own whether or not others had rights to it.

Only if it was an easment or the official vacation prosses was followed. Many HESs have a parcel called Tract C running through them. These tracts were surveyed roads. The patents do not include Tract C. Rights to Tract C don’t go to the adjoiners just because a road in no longer used.
