Robert Cochran died at the Alamo. The Quahadi band is history, not a product.
Cochran County's seat is Morton, on grassy plains with sand hills. No county sales tax is on the file. The XIT once held much of this ground. That sentence does not label a current deposit. The close is remote.
Morton's file can be a grass credit or a sand-hill farm credit, and Silver Lake does not name either one. Robert E. Cochran, who died at the Alamo, is the namesake. The county file says the county was formed in 1876 from Bexar County. The handbook says the legislature used land previously assigned to Bexar and Young counties. This page does not invent a resolution between those two parent lines. New Mexico lies west, Bailey north, Hockley east, and Yoakum south.
State highways 214, 114, and 125 cross level prairie and sand hills. Silver Lake, known to Spanish explorers as Laguna Quemado, is one of the small lakes. The XIT later controlled much of the grass. If your check is not an XIT settlement, those initials do not belong on it.
Morton can still be looking at a ranch credit and a farm credit from the same sand-hill week.
The July 2026 Comptroller figure used here shows no county sales tax for Cochran County. State sales tax is 6.25%. Where a city has its own rate, that city rate stacks on the state rate and any county rate. The combined cap is 8.25%. City rates are not listed on this page.
Business personal property renditions go to the county appraisal district for Cochran County. Put April 15 on the calendar. That district's form says which date controls the list.
The franchise report is due May 15. Texas has no state income tax. Neither date goes away because of that.
Label the Morton month as grass or as a sand-hill farm before you reach for a place name. Silver Lake is a salt lake on the map, including the Spanish Laguna Quemado, and it still does not caption the deposit. Leave the XIT initials off unless the check is actually an XIT settlement. Highways 214, 114, and 125 move the load. They do not tell you which of the two credits the money was. The missing county rate does not tell you either.
Book a time if the sand-hill credit has no name.
