This is not the register
This is an independent copy, not the register. Well reports are filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and published by the Texas Water Development Board; for anything a transaction depends on, use theirs.
For an official answer, use the state's own tool.
What the figures are
Every figure here comes from a report a licensed driller filed on the day the work ended — sometimes decades ago. It describes what was found then, not what a well yields today, and it is not a statement that any well is sound, potable or still in use.
Every figure on this site is a median, never an average. On reported yield the average is twice the median, because a handful of entries are typing errors — the largest reads 2,200,100 gallons per minute against 30,078 for the next one. Yields above 3,000 gpm (136 wells, 0.045%) and depths beyond 5,000 ft (103 wells, 0.016%) are kept in the file, marked, and left out of the medians.
This covers well reports filed from 2001 onward, which is when Texas began collecting them electronically. Wells drilled before then are on the TCEQ's older system and are not here. An area with few reports is not an area with few wells — it may simply be an area drilled earlier.
⚠️ The source's conditions
The sources, and what they require
This site republishes public registers. Source by source: the licence it is published under, and the condition its publisher sets — read from the publisher's own terms page, on the date shown.
| Source | Licence | What the publisher requires |
|---|---|---|
| Submitted Driller's Report Database (SDR) — full download | Texas Water Development Board copyright policy | Nothing is required. The Board's Copyright Policy reads, word for word: « The Texas Water Development Board freely grants permission to copy and distribute its materials. The agency would appreciate acknowledgment. » Acknowledgment is appreciated rather than imposed — this site gives it anyway, on every page. The Board separately disclaims any warranty as to accuracy, completeness or fitness for purpose, which is why this site repeats that a well report is what a driller declared on the day the work ended, not an inspection. — Terms read on 2026-08-23, terms |
| State of Texas Well Report and Plugging Report forms (WWD001, WWD002, WWD004, WWD024) | Texas public records | These forms are read, not republished. They are cited on this site only to state the legal obligation the data comes from: a licensed driller must file a well report with the department and the owner within 60 days of finishing a well (Texas Occupations Code, chapter 1901.251), and a well found abandoned must be plugged with a State of Texas Plugging Report filed within 30 days (16 TAC §76.104). — Terms read on 2026-08-23, terms |

⚠️ Not a consumer reporting agency
This site is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.), and nothing published or sold here is a consumer report.
You may not use this site, its pages, its search, its API or any dataset obtained from it, in whole or in part, as a factor in deciding a person's eligibility for:
- employment, promotion, reassignment or retention;
- credit or insurance underwriting;
- housing or tenancy;
- any other purpose covered by the FCRA.
Verifying that a licence exists, directly with the issuing authority, is a different act from screening a person — and where a decision about someone depends on it, the check belongs with a screening company that operates as a consumer reporting agency and carries the obligations that come with it.
Firms named on this site
Firm pages count filings, not quality. A firm that files more reports drills more wells; nothing else follows from it, and nothing on this site is a recommendation of anyone.
No warranty
We copy a public file and we can copy it wrong. Nothing here is advice on drilling, on a purchase, on a loan or on a water right. Check anything that matters against the state, and have a licensed driller look at the ground.
