System Land Management Office

The System Land Management Office (LMO) is integral to the oversight and development of The Texas A&M University System (A&M System) real property, supporting its eleven universities, eight state entities, a dedicated health science center, the RELLIS Campus, and the other A&M System Offices.

LMO’s role is a multifaceted one. It manages real property records and oversees ownership and rights data, inclusive of pertinent geospatial information. LMO is also entrusted with the negotiation and oversight of various real property agreements. This includes mineral leases, easements, rights-of-way, access permits, damage settlement agreements, water use agreements, solar and photovoltaic development agreements, geothermal development agreements, carbon capture and sequestration agreements, among others pertaining to the utilization and development of natural resources found on A&M System lands. Furthermore, LMO analyzes and accounts for revenues stemming from land contracts, such as mineral lease considerations, royalty revenues, easement renewals, solar lease rentals, and damage settlements.

LMO liaises closely with other A&M System Offices, most notably the System Real Estate Office, the System Facilities Planning and Construction Office, and The System Office of General Counsel. This synergy ensures that A&M System leadership and its Members receive expert consultation, optimizing the use of A&M System lands for the dual purpose of benefiting students and serving the broader Texan community. All the while, LMO and The Texas A&M University System remain staunch advocates for land stewardship and conservation.
