I am fully qualified as an abstractor and researcher of public and quasi-public county, state and federal records. Easements, leasehold estates, water rights and minerals (including mining claims, oil, gas and geothermal) are. Expertise also includes off-record research and investigations, documentary analysis, reading and interpretation of surveys, engineering diagrams, transaction documents.

Contract support services to title insurers available.

I became a professional Landman as fully trained by my Grandfather Frank J. Hinojosa in Hidalgo County, Texas in 1977. He had retired from Sun Oil Company and began his own consultancy that same year.

I continued to work in the energy field as a Landman engaged in both lease and title work until 1982. Beginning in 1985 my title profession expanded to the commercial and developer service sector of the California title insurance industry (Transamerica, North American and Old Republic title companies).

Upon an opportunity to pursue a professional photographic project with the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, I moved to Nevada in 2011 and pursued a separate professional photography career until 2017 when I began this consultancy with a single client.

Since then I have been able to provide services to both local and national clients, primarily by referrals.
