If I had to pick the “most heavily tested” topic of the Texas Registered Professional Land Surveying, it would have to be LEGAL ASPECTS and BOUNDARY RESOLUTION. Core principles such as the Priority of Calls will come-up multiple times during an RPLS exam, both in the morning and afternoon. But these principles should not be used blindly. Can your common sense make sense of this hypothetical? Let’s see how you do.
The Question:
A property deed call states “thence 382 varas to a rock mound.” A modern surveyor found both the beginning point and the rock mound. The rock mound appears to be disturbed. The distance measured is actually 12,743.21 feet. The surveyor should:
Answer Choices
A) Hold the distance based on the priority of calls
B) Hold the rock mound based on the priority of calls
C) Hold the distance based on junior/senior rights
D) Hold the rock mound based on junior/senior rights
E) None of the above
