There is no BLM in Texas and one must go to Austin to prove up on the original title which in many places were measured in leagues and varrahs.
Does anyone know just how to acquire the land patent in Texas?

If that which you state is correct about no land ever was ceded to the United States from what is now considered Texas; you must look for land grants from the King of Spain to Spanish or Mexican citizens. These would have taken place when Spain owned Tejas ( I think) as part of Mexico. Allodial title would have been conferred by the King at that time. It might also be possible the Viceroy of Mexico had the power to confer allodial title to Mexicans.
You must then trace ownership from that point forward.
I hope this is helpful.
