Texas locations come from drilling permits, so most older Texas wells have none and are not listed.
Wells named Dr. Wm. R. Knight III
Nelson W. Paul & Company's other wells filed under this lease name in Fort Bend County, newest permit first. The RRC gives a gas well its own lease number, so the name is what joins the wells of a unit.
