Tarrant County Archives has two extensive collections of land title abstracts as well as several smaller collections. The two larger are the U.S. Title and Stewart Title Collections. The link will lead you to a PDF of all survey names in both of the major collections. If you right click on the PDF and go to "Find," a search box will appear. Write all or part of the survey name, such as "Akers" or "Johnson," in the search box and it will take you to the first reference. Hit the forward arrow and you will be taken to the next reference.
