Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 17 mine sites inside the county: 1 past producer, now closed, 14 sites producing when the record was made, 1 processing plant, which is not a working, 1 site with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 15 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is Clay.
A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area.

Rusk County sits over the Texas Region coal field and the coal there is lignite, worked mostly at the surface. The two federal files record a shaft, an adit or a deposit where one was drawn on a survey sheet or catalogued as a site; neither file carries the outline of the workings, so the counts above are not the measure of what was mined under this county. The record that shows it is the mine map, held by Railroad Commission of Texas, Abandoned Mine Land data map and linked below.
Texas abandoned mine maps ranks every county and town in the state by the workings recorded inside it, names the office that holds the mine maps, and says what to do if the ground moves.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about.
