Licensed RPLS + PE · Registered Professional Land Surveyor
Subdivision & Plat Surveys in North and East Texas
Splitting land. Creating new lots. Filing a plat with the county. These are not tasks for a generalist. DMC Henry Surveying provides licensed subdivision plat surveys for developers, land attorneys, municipalities, and individual landowners across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and East Texas.
Licensed RPLS + PE · Same-week Field Visits · 30+ Years
As a dual-licensed Registered Professional Land Surveyor (RPLS) and Professional Engineer (PE), our principal brings a level of credential and oversight that most surveying firms simply cannot offer. Every subdivision plat we produce meets Texas county filing requirements — and we stand behind it with a licensed engineer’s seal when your project demands it.
Who We Work With
Developers & Homebuilders
Raw acreage to buildable lots — any scale, any county. We know your schedule and what a delayed plat cycle costs.
Real Estate Attorneys & Title
Plat, surveyor’s certificate, and recorded instrument — ready for closing. We coordinate with title underwriters directly.
Municipalities & Counties
ROW dedications, drainage easements, and public facility sites — RPLS and PE seal available for submittals that require it.
Individual Landowners
Splitting a tract to sell or transfer? We manage the county submittal and deliver a recorded plat you can take to the title company.
Subdivision Platting Services We Provide
From a simple residential lot split to a full commercial subdivision plat filed with the county, DMC Henry Surveying handles the full scope of platting work in Texas. Our services include:
- Residential Subdivision Plats — new lot creation, cul-de-sac subdivisions, single-family residential plats filed with county appraisal districts
- Commercial Subdivision Plats — multi-lot commercial developments, retail and office parks, industrial park platting
- Replats & Lot Consolidations — amending existing plats, combining two or more lots, revising lot lines per county requirements
- Minor Plats & Lot Splits — splitting one parcel into two or three lots without a full subdivision, per local city or county exemptions
- Preliminary & Final Plats — from the initial preliminary plat submitted for city/county review through the final recordable plat filed with the county clerk
- Dedication & Right-of-Way Plats — public road dedications, utility easement plats, drainage easement plats required by municipalities
- Vacating Plats — formally vacating an existing recorded plat per Texas Local Government Code
- Condominium Plats — vertical plats for condo declarations, townhome developments, and mixed-use projects
Each plat is prepared in compliance with Texas Local Government Code Chapter 212 (municipalities) or Chapter 232 (counties), and stamped by a Texas RPLS.
Why a Dual-Licensed PE and RPLS Matters for Your Plat
Any RPLS can prepare and stamp a plat. But subdivision development often requires more than a surveyor’s seal — it requires engineering judgment.
When your plat involves drainage easements, utility infrastructure, or coordination with a civil engineer’s site plan, having a surveyor who is also a licensed Professional Engineer in the same office changes the conversation. One principal. No gaps between your surveyor and your engineer.
