OPINION2
LAURIE SELBER SILVERSTEIN, UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY JUDGE
The Court is asked to determine whether Quicksilver Resources, Inc. (“Quicksilver”) granted the Second Lien Parties3 a lien on some 510 real property interests and, if so, whether the estate may avoid the liens pursuant to section 544 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). Upon review of the record and consideration of the argument of counsel, the Court concludes that the Second Lien Parties have liens on all of Quicksilver’s real property interests located in Texas, and that such liens are perfected in the seven counties in which Mortgages are recorded. As such, it is unnecessary for the Court to reach the section 544 issue.
Procedural Posture
On March 17, 2015, Quicksilver and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) each filed a voluntary ease under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’ cases have been jointly consolidated for procedural purposes only and are being jointly administered. The Debtors continue in the management and operation of their respective businesses and properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.
On March 25, 2015, the United States Trustee for Region 3 appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the “Committee”). As part of its duties, the Committee investigated the liens and securities interests asserted by prepetition secured parties. On October 5, 2015, the Committee filed the Motion of the Official [784]*784Committee of Unsecured Creditors for Leave, Standing and Authority to Prosecute Claims on Behalf of the Debtors’ Estates and for Related Relief4 (the “Standing Motion”). By the Standing Motion, the Committee sought leave to prosecute certain causes of action regarding the extent, validity and priority of certain second liens and security interests granted prepetition by Quicksilver to the Second Lien Collateral Agent (defined below). On November 9, 2015, the Court entered the Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part Motion of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors for Leave, Standing and Authority to Prosecute Claims on Behalf of the Debtors’ Estates and for Related Relief,5 which permitted the filing of a complaint. That same day, the Committee initiated this adversary proceeding by filing its nineteen count Complaint for Declaratory Judgment and for Related Relief and Objection to Claims6 (the “Complaint”) against the Second Lien Parties (defined below). By the Complaint, the Committee seeks separate declaratory judgments regarding various categories of collateral, avoidance of unperfeeted liens and security interests, and relief under sections 506(c) and 552(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Complaint also includes multiple objections to the allowance of the Second Lien Parties’ claims.
Because of the sale process being pursued by the Debtors, and the auction currently scheduled for January 20, 2015, the Committee and the Second Lien Parties agreed that the three counts of the Complaint seeking declarations with respect to Quicksilver’s hydrocarbon interests would be litigated on an expedited basis to facilitate a possible credit bid by the Second Lien Parties. The parties, therefore, entered into an expedited discovery and hearing schedule7 with respect to counts XII, XIII, and XIV of the Complaint, by which the Committee seeks: (i) a declaratory judgment that the certain of Quicksilver’s hydrocarbon interests are not subject to the Second Lien Parties’ liens and security interests (Count XII); (ii) a declaratory judgment that, even if certain of Quicksilver’s hydrocarbon interests are subject to the Second Lien Parties’ liens and security interests, such liens and security interests are not perfected (Count XIII); and (in) to avoid and recover for the Debtors’ estates unperfected liens and security interests pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 544 as it relates to Quicksilver’s hydrocarbon interests. (Count XIV).8
A three day evidentiary trial was scheduled for December 14-16, 2015. As a result of the discovery and negotiations between the Committee and the Second Lien Parties, however, the factual issues were narrowed considerably, and the three-day trial turned into a one hour legal argument on agreed facts and documents, and simultaneous written submissions.9 At the conclusion of the argument, the Court took the matter under advisement.
[785]*785Background
By way of background, and to frame the issues, the Court takes the following information from the Declaration of Vanessa Gomez LaGatta In Support of First Day Pleadings.10 None of these statements are controversial nor do they impact the decision in this case.
Quicksilver is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and production of onshore and natural gas in North America and is based in Fort Worth, Texas. Quicksilver’s oil and natural gas properties are primarily located in Texas and in the Canadian provinces of Columbia and Alberta. Quicksilver’s four development and exploration areas include: (i) the Barnett Shale in the Fort Worth Basin in north-central Texas; (ii) the Delaware basin in western Texas; (iii) the Horn River Basin in British Columbia, Canada; and (iv) the coalbeds of the Horseshoe Canyon in AIbqrta, Canada. The Barnett Shale is one of the Debtors’ core production and development areas. As of December 31, 2014, the Debtors had a total of 980 (587.7 net) producing wells in the Barnett Shale. The Debtors’ west Texas assets are an oil and gas exploration opportunity. The Debtors did not recognize a material amount of proved reserves from their west Texas assets in 2014. The Canadian assets are held by non-debtor Canadian entities.
Stipulated Statement of Facts11
On December 7 and 10, 2015 respectively, the Parties entered into two stipulations: the Stipulation and Agreement by and among the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, the Second Lien Parties and the Debtors12 (the “Real Property Stipulation”) and the Joint Pre-Trial Stipulation13 (together the “Stipulations”).
In the Pre-Trial Stipulation, the parties agree that the following facts are admitted and require no proof:
Quicksilver’s approximately 7500 real property interests fall into one of three categories: (i) Unencumbered Real Property Interests; (ii) Encumbered Real Property Interests; and (iii) Disputed Real Property Interests. The Unencumbered Real Property Interests are: (i) the Quicksilve’s real property interests located in western Texas; and (ii) 1,342 real property interest consisting of: (a) 889 oil and gas leases not listed on any “Exhibit A” to the applicable Mortgages; (b) 450 real property interests owned by debtor Cowtown Pipeline L.P. (“CPLP”) such as easements, rights of ways, permits and licenses related primarily to water and gas lift pipeline, roads, and railroads (“TXPLs”); (c) two deeded properties owned by CPLP, and (d) one surface interest owned by CPLP. The Disputed Real Property Interests are 510 real property interests consisting of 413 TXPLs, 39 surface interests, and 58 deeded properties. The Encumbered Real Property Interests are Quicksilver’s property interests located within the state of Texas that are not included within the definition of either Unencumbered Real Property Interests or Disputed Real Property Interests.
On June 21, 2013, the Debtors entered into that certain Second Lien Credit Agreement dated as of June 21, 2013 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) among Quicksilver, as borrower; the Second Lien Administrative Agent; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent; Bank of [786]*786America, N.A., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deusche Bank Securities Inc. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-documentation agents; and the lenders party thereto, which made available to Quicksilver a $625 million second lien term loan. Defendant Credit Suisse AG is the administrative agent (the “Second Lien Administrative Agent”) under the Second Lien Credit Agreement. Defendant The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (“BNYM”), is the trustee (the “Second Lien Indenture Trustee”) under the Second Lien Credit Agreement.
On the same day, Quicksilver also issued that certain second lien senior secured floating rate notes due 2019 indenture (the “Second Lien Indenture”) dated as of June 21, 2013 with Quicksilver as issuer, Cow-town Pipeline Funding, Inc., Cowtown Pipeline Management, Inc., Cowtown Pipeline L.P., Cowtown Gas Processing L.P., QPP Parent LLC, QPP Holdings LLC, Barnett Shale Operating LLC, Silver Stream Pipeline Company LLC as guarantors and BNYM as trustee and second lien collateral agent.
Also on June 21, 2013, Quicksilver entered into that certain Mortgage, Deed of Trust, Assignment of As-Extracted, Collateral, Security Agreement, Fixture Filing and Financing Statement (collectively, as filed or recorded in the appropriate office of recorder of deeds for the. applicable jurisdiction in which the subject real property is located, the “Mortgages”) from Quicksilver as mortgagor to BNYM, as second lien agent, or alternatively, to Linda Daugherty, as trustee for the benefit of BNYM, as second lien agent, for itself and for the ratable benefit of the other secured parties dated as of June 21, 2013, as amended or modified. Defendant Linda Daugherty is the trustee under the -Mortgages (in such capacity, the “Mortgages Trustee”).
The Mortgages are identical except with respect to the “Exhibit A” accompanying each mortgage. The Exhibit A accompanying each of the Mortgages describes certain property interests in the corresponding county. Of particular importance to the instant dispute are the following two stipulations: (i) The Mortgages were properly filed, each with its respective Exhibit A, in Denton County, Hill County, Hood County, Johnson County, Parker County, Somervell County, and Tarrant County, Texas and (ii) none of the Disputed Real Property Interests are expressly listed on any Exhibit A to any of the applicable Mortgages.
In addition to the Stipulations, the parties tendered to the Court an agreed set of exhibits. The agreed exhibits are: (i) the Second Lien Credit Agreement, (ii) the Mortgages for Hood County, Johnson County, Parker County, Hill County, Den-ton County, Somervell County and Tarrant County, Texas; (iii) the Second Lien Indenture; and (iv) the Real Estate Stipulation.
Jurisdiction and Venue
The Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334 and 157(a) and (b) (1). Venue is proper in the Court pursuant to 29 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. Consideration of this adversary proceeding constitutes a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A), (K) and (O). Standard of Review
There is a split in case law regarding which party bears the burden of proof in an action to avoid a lien under section 544(a). Certain courts have required the moving party to prove facts showing that a hypothetical creditor or purchaser could avoid the liens.14 Other courts have re[787]*787quired the defendant to show that its lien was valid and perfected.15 The parties here have stipulated to all facts and the issue before the Court is purely a question of law. As a result, the Court need not reach a determination as to which party bears the burden of proof.
The Parties’ Positions
The questions before the Court are whether the granting language in the Mortgages convey to the Second Lien Parties liens and security interests on the Disputed Real Property Interests and, if so, whether such liens and security interests are perfected.
The Committee argues that Section 2.01 of the Mortgages grant liens only on the Oil and Gas Properties that are specifically listed on each Exhibit A to the accompanying Mortgages.16 Because the Disputed Real Property Interests are not included on an Exhibit A, the Committee concludes that Section 2.01 does not grant a lien on those interests. The Committee alternatively argues that if the Mortgages, by their terms, do grant liens on the Disputed Real Property Interests, the Mortgages do not satisfy the Texas statute of frauds because the Disputed Real Property Interests are not listed on any Exhibit A.17 The Committee concludes that these liens are not valid under Texas law and, as a result, are subject to avoidance.
The Second Lien Parties argue that subsections (a) and (e) in Section 2.01 both grant a lien on the Disputed Real Property Interests.18 As its main argument, the Second Lien Parties assert that subsection (e) constitutes a blanket lien over all of Quicksilver’s real property interests in the State'of Texas.”19 They rely on Texas law that recognizes blanket liens following specific grants, and contend that the phrase in subsection (e), “all other rights, titles, interests and estates and every part and parcel thereof,” creates a valid, enforceable, blanket lien.20 Alternatively, the Second Lien Parties argue that subsection (a) specifically grants a lien over all of the easements, rights-of-way, surface rights, deeds, and other appurtenances related in any way to the Oil and Gas Properties on Exhibit A to each of the Mortgages. The [788]*788Second Lien Parties argue that to the extent the Mortgages grant a blanket lien on all of the Disputed Real Property Interests, the statutes of frauds is satisfied. The Second Lien Parties concede, however, that if the liens on the Disputed Real Property Interests are limited to those particular surface interests that are appurtenant to the leases described on each Exhibit A, then the Second Lien Parties do not hold a perfected lien on Disputed Real Property Interests that relate to leases identified as Unencumbered Real Property Interests,
Discussion
A. Whether the Mortgages Grant Liens in the Disputed Real Property Interests?
Texas law governs the interpretation of the Mortgages,21 and this is the law that both parties have presented to the Court. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas has succinctly set forth the principles for determining the estate conveyed by a mortgage governed by Texas law:
The primary duty of the court in interpreting what estate a deed conveys is to ascertain the intent of the parties as expressed in the instrument itself. In ascertaining the intent, the court must attempt to harmonize all parts of a deed because the parties to an instrument intend every clause to have some effect. The inquiry to construe the legal effect of a grant or reservation in a deed is not to be determined alone from a single word, clause, or part, but from every word, clause, and part that is pertinent.22
To apply this case law, the Court starts with the granting language of the Mortgages. Consistent with the requirement to consider all relevant parts of a deed, it helps to have a general understanding of the structure of the granting clause.
The introductory clause of Section 2.01 of the Mortgages, entitled “Grant of Liens,” generally provides that to secure payments of its obligations to the Second Lien Parties, Quicksilver is granting a lien on all of its properties rights and interests listed in clauses (a) through (e) located in the State of Texas or the Outer Continental Shelf. Subsections (a) through (e) provide, in relevant part, the following categories of interests:
(a) All rights, titles, interests and estates now owned or hereafter ac[789]*789quired by the Mortgagor in and to the Oil and Gas Properties described on Exhibit A
(b) All rights, titles, interests, and estates now owned or hereafter acquired by the Mortgagor in and to all geological, geophysical, engineering, accounting, title, legal and other technical or business data concerning the Oil and Gas Properties and all books, files, records, magnetic media, computer records and other forms of recording or obtaining access to such data.
(c) All rights, titles, interests and estates now owned or hereafter acquired by the Mortgagor in and to all Hydrocarbons relating to the Oil and Gas Properties.
(d) Any property that may from time to time hereafter, by delivery or by writing of any kind, be subjected to the Liens hereof by the Mortgagor or by anyone on the Mortgagor’s behalf; and the Trustee and/or the Mortgagee are hereby authorized to receive the same at any time as additional security hereunder.
(e) All of the rights, titles, interests of every nature whatsoever now owned or hereafter acquired by the Mortgagor in and to the Oil and Gas Properties described in Exhibit A and all other rights, titles, interest and estates, and every part and parcel thereof.23
On a high level read, by Section 2.01, Quicksilver grants liens in five categories of interests, some of which are overlapping, and only some of which are proscribed by the descriptions on Exhibit A. In subsection (a), Quicksilver grants liens on all Oil and Gas Properties described on Exhibit A. In subsections (b) through (d), Quicksilver grants liens on data, books and records concerning the Oil and Gas Properties, all rights titles and interests in all Hydrocarbons relating to Oil and Gas Properties, and all property that may be subjected to a Lien held by Quicksilver. None of the grants in (b) through (d) are restricted to Exhibit A. Finally, subsection (e) grants liens on two categories of property. Like subsection (a), the first category grants liens on the Oil and Gas Properties described in Exhibit A. The second category grants liens on “all other rights, titles, interests and estates, and every part and parcel thereof.” This second category is not limited to the real estate interests listed on Exhibit A.
i. Subsection (e) Grants a Blanket Lien on All Real Property Interests in Texas, Including the Disputed Real Property Interests.
As distilled from the full text, and as relevant to address the parties’ arguments regarding subsection (e), Section 2.01 provides:
Mortgagor ... does hereby grant, bargain, sell, assign, mortgage, transfer and convey to the Trustee, for the use and benefit of [the Second Lien Parties], all the properties, rights and interests listed in clauses (a) through (e) below in this Section 2.01, which are located in (or cover or relate to Properties located in) the State of Texas____
(e) All of the rights, titles and interests of every nature whatsoever now owned or hereafter acquired by the Mortgagor in and to the Oil and Gas Properties described in Exhibit A and all other rights, titles, interests and estates and every part and parcel thereof, including without limitation, any rights, titles, interests [790]*790and estates as the same may be enlarged by the discharge of any payments out of production or by the removal of any charges or Permitted Liens to which any of such Oil and Gas Properties or other rights, titles, interests or estates are subject or otherwise....24
The Second Lien Parties argue that the bolded language above is a blanket lien on all of Quicksilver’s real property interests in the State of Texas. They argue that in order to give meaning to each word and clause in subpart (e), it must be read as granting not only a lien on the Oil and Gas Properties described on Exhibit A, but also a general lien on “all other” property owned by Quicksilver, including the Disputed Real Property Interests. Otherwise, the Second Lien Parties argue, subsection (e) would be wholly duplicative of subsection (a). The Committee argues that to so find would be' inconsistent with a general read of the Mortgages, and, in particular with the defined terms. Further, the Committee argues that subsection (e) is a curative provision meant to pick up defects in any cut off rights on leases on each accompanying Exhibit A.
The Court agrees with the Second Lien Parties. First, as stated above, the Court finds that a plain reading of subsection (e) reflects that it contains two clauses, divided by the conjunction “and.”25 The first clause, though worded slightly differently than subsection (a), grants a lien on the interests in all Oil and Gas Properties described on Exhibit A, and could be viewed as duplicative. The second clause grants a lien on “all other” rights, titles, interests and estates owned by Quicksilver. The Court is not prepared to read out the words “all other” as the Committee would suggest because it would render the second clause meaningless.
Additionally, this reading is consistent with case law applying Texas law to interpret similar language. Courts applying the Texas rules of construction to contracts that purport to convey real property interests have determined that the phrase “all the right, title, interest and estate” is blanket language that refers to all of a grantor’s property rights. For instance, in Cornerstone I26 the bankruptcy court applied Texas law in order to determine what real property interest was conveyed through clause (g) in a contract that read, “(g) any and all rights, titles and interests of Mortgagor (which are similar in nature to any of the rights, titles and interests described in (a) through (f) above) — ” The court determined that clause (g) was a blanket grant.27
This interpretation is also consistent with case law holding that Texas law will give effect to a general granting clause that broadens a specific granting clause unless there is a conflict or “repugnance” between the specific granting clause and the general granting clause.28 If there is a [791]*791repugnance between a specific granting clause and a general granting clause, Texas courts give effect only to the specific granting clause.29 As noted by the Cornerstone I court:
it is rare that the conflict between a specific and general grant is so great as that the general grant cannot be given literal effect, such as when the general grant is repugnant to the rest of the deed. [J. Hiram Moore, Ltd. v. ]Greer, 172 S.W.3d [609,] 615-16[ (Tex.2005)] (Hecht, J., concurring). ‘Even where different parts of the instrument appear to be contradictory and inconsistent with each other, the court will, if possible, harmonize the parts and construe the instrument in such way that all parts may stand and will not strike down any portion unless there is an irreconcilable conflict wherein one part of the instrument destroys in effect another part.’ Woods [v. Sims, 154 Tex. 59,] 273 S.W.2d [617,] 620-21 [ (1954) ]. As such, Texas law recognizes that a general grant may enlarge a specific grant with no repugnance when the deed clearly evidences the grantor’s intent to convey not only the specific property interest described, but also other interests ‘coming with the terms of the general description.’ 30
Here, the general grant in the second clause in subsection (e) is not inconsistent with or repugnant to the specific grant in subsection (a) or the first clause in subsection (e). Subsection (a) grants a lien on oil and gas interests. Subsection (e) grants liens on those same oil and gas interests, as well as on additional oil and gas interest. Subsection (e), therefore, does not contradict the specific grant in subsection (a) or the first clause of subsection (e), but, instead, “enlarges the grant described in the ... preceding language.”31 As a result, the Court’s interpretation gives effect to Texas rules of contract construction.
The Committee argues that subsection (e) is not a general lien granting provision, but that it is a curative provision. The Committee relies on the bolded language below:
(e) All of the rights, titles and interests of every nature whatsoever now owned or hereafter acquired by the Mortgagor in and to the Oil and Gas Properties described in Exhibit A and all other rights, titles, interests and estates and every part and parcel thereof, including without limitation, any rights, titles, interests and estates as the same may be enlarged by the discharged of any payments out of production or by the removal of any charges or Permitted Liens to which any of such Oil and Gas Properties or other rights, titles, interests or estates are subject or otherwise ... 32
At trial, the Committee argued that subsection (e) only acts when “there is a defect or a problem” with a lien granted under subsection (a).33
[792]*792The Court is not convinced that subsection (e) is a curative provision. Initially, as discussed above, it is consistent with the Texas rules of construction to construe this provision as a blanket grant. Further, the language, on its face, does not appear to be curative as it does not address defects, errors, or omissions. Rather, as pointed out by the Committee, the bolded language in subsection (e) appears to grant the Second Lien Parties “enlarged” rights, for example, when a Permitted Lien (which might be Excluded Collateral) is removed from the subject Oil and Gas Properties.34 In any event, the bolded language does not detract from the blanket grant.
Further, the Court’s interpretation is consistent with the intent of the parties as expressed in the Mortgages. First, the only specific refereiice to the intent of the parties is found in the defined term Hydrocarbon Interests,35 The definition of Hydrocarbon Interests includes not only oil and gas leases and oil, gas, and mineral leases, but also fee interests, surface interests, and mineral fee interests which are described on Exhibit A. The definition also specifically states, however, that “it is the intent of the Mortgagor that all interests of such nature be subject to the Lien on this Mortgage” even if its interests on Exhibit A are: (x) “incorrectly described or a description of a part or all of such property or the Mortgagor’s interests therein be omitted;” or (y) “limited to particular lands, specified depths or particular types of property interests.” These words are a clear expression of intent to convey all surface interests whether or not described on Exhibit A.36
• Second, the introductory clause to the Mortgages provides that the Mortgages are for the benefit of the Mortgages Trustee with respect to all “Mortgaged Property.” Mortgaged Property means “the Oil and Gas Properties described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 2.01.” And, the definition of “Oil and Gas Properties” includes an expansive list of property rights related to the extraction of oil and gas, including:
(g) all properties, rights, titles, interests and estates described or referred to above, including any and all property, real or personal, now owned or hereinafter acquired and, situated upon, used, held for use or useful in connection with the operating, working or development, of any of such Hydrocarbon Interests or property .. and (x) including any and all oil wells, gas wells, injection wells or other wells, fuel separators, liquid extraction plants, plant compressors, pumps, pumping units, [793]*793field gathering systems, tanks and tank batteries, fixtures, valves, fittings, machinery and parts, engines, boilers, meters, apparatus, equipment, appliances, tools, implements, cables, wires, towers, casing, tubing and rods, surface leases, rights-of-way, easements and servitudes, together with all additions, substitutions, replacements, accessions and attachments to any and all of the foregoing.37
Both of these defined terms, which are expansive in breadth and not limited to the interests defined on Exhibit A to each of the Mortgages, further demonstrate Quicksilver’s intent to convey a blanket lien on its real estate interests, and in particular, the types of interests which make up the Disputed Real Property Interests.
The Court’s interpretation, consistent with Texas law, gives unique meaning to subsection (e) and reflects the intent of the parties as expressed in the Mortgages; the Committee’s reading does not. As a result, the Court is not persuaded by the Committee’s argument.
ii. Subsection (a) Does Not Grant a Lien on the Disputed Real Property Interests.38
Subsection (a) grants a lien on: “All rights, titles, interest and estates now owned or hereafter acquired by [Quicksilver] in and to the Oil and Gas Properties described on Exhibit A.” (Emphasis in original.) As with subsection (e), a proper interpretation of subsection (a) requires the Court to attempt to give meaning to every one of the Mortgages’ pertinent terms. The Court interprets the phrase “the Oil and Gas Properties described on Exhibit A ” (emphasis added) to mean that subsection (a) grants a lien on real property interests that are both included in the definition of Oil and Gas Properties and included on Exhibit A. That is, the definition of “Oil and Gas Properties” identifies the universe of rights that may be listed in an Exhibit A, but Exhibit A, itself, determines the subset of Oil and Gas Properties actually conveyed in subsection (a). As the Disputed Real Property Interests are not listed on an Exhibit A, subsection (a) does not grant a lien on those interests.
The Second Lien Parties argue that subsection (a) grants a lien on all the property interests that are listed on Exhibit A as well as all the surface interests that are “used” for the properties listed on Exhibit A39 The Second Lien Parties reach this conclusion by reading the phrase “the Oil and Gas Properties described on Exhibit A” to mean “the Oil and Gas Properties appurtenant to Exhibit A.” Under this interpretation, subsection (a) grants a lien on “any of the elements of the defined term ‘Oil and Gas Properties’ that are appurtenant to the specific oil and gas leases set forth on Exhibit A to'the applicable Mortgage.”40 The Second Lien Parties further argue that the use in subsection (a) of the term Oil and Gas Properties, which has an. extraordinarily expansive meaning, together with, the “curative provision” in the definition of Hydrocarbon Interests compels the conclusion that the parties intended to convey all rights appurtenant to the oil and gas leases de[794]*794scribed on Exhibit A. As a result, the Second Lien Parties conclude that subsection (a) grants a lien on the Disputed Real Property Interests despite the fact that these interests are not identified on Exhibit A.
The Committee argues that the plain meaning of subsection (a) can only be interpreted as limiting the grant of liens to properties described on Exhibit A.41 The Disputed Real Property Interests are not listed on any Exhibit A. As a result, the Committee argues that the Mortgages do not grant the Second Lien Parties a lien on the Disputed Real Property Interests,
The Court agrees with the Committee. The Second Lien Parties’ interpretation requires a strained reading of the phrase “described on” in subsection (a). The relevant portion of subsection (a) grants a lien on “the Oil and Gas Leases described on Exhibit A.” (Emphasis added.) Black’s Law Dictionary defines “description” as a limiting term that means “[a]n enumeration or specific identification of something.” 42 Applying that definition leads to the conclusion that subsection (a) grants liens on the specific “Oil and Gas Properties” that are listed on an Exhibit A. Had the parties intended the result urged by the Second Lien Parties, subsection (a) could have simply read: “All rights, titles, interest and estates now owned or hereafter acquired by the Mortgagor in and to the Oil and Gas Properties.”
Moreover, the Second Lien Parties’ position that the use of the term “Oil and Gas Properties” together with the intent language in the definition of Hydrocarbon Interests means that subsection (a) conveys a lien on all interests appurtenant to interests described on Exhibit A creates a fundamental inconsistency, or in the terms used by the Texas courts, a repugnancy. If the intent language in the term Hydrocarbon Interests is read into the specific grant in subsection (a), then subsection (a) would, in effect, grant a lien “on the interests that are listed on Exhibit A, including the interests that are not listed on Exhibit A.” Because such an interpretation creates a “necessary contradiction of the grant,” it violates Texas rules of construction.43
Additionally, the interpretation advanced by the Second Lien Parties would render large parts of subsections (b) through (e) superfluous. Subsection (g) of the definition of Oil and Gas Properties is broad enough to include many of the specific grants in subsections (a) through (e). As the Court must attempt to give meaning to each subsection in Section 2.01, the Court cannot conclude that subsection (a) provides a grant on interests appurtenant to Exhibit A.
The interpretation applied by the Court is consistent with Texas rules of construction. The Court’s interpretation gives meaning to every word in subsection (a), gives an ordinary meaning to the words in subsection (a) because it applies “described” as a limiting term, and reduces redundancy by ensuring that each subsection in Section 2.01 provides a unique grant. As a result, the Court is not persuaded to adopt the Second Lien Parties’ interpretation.
B. Whether the Subsection (e) General Grant of Liens Violates the Statute of Frauds?
The Committee alternatively argues that the Mortgages’ description of the Disputed Real Property Interests is insufficient to [795]*795satisfy the Texas statute of frauds.44 The Committee argues that the Mortgages do not sufficiently describe the grant of Disputed Real Property Interests not listed on any Exhibit A. The Second Lien Parties do not dispute that the statute of frauds is applicable, but assert that it has been satisfied.
Texas case law requires courts to “apply a strict application of the statute of frauds, [but] allow for a liberal construction of the words describing the land.”45 To satisfy the Texas statute of frauds, a conveyance of real property must contain a “sufficient description” of the property to be conveyed.46 “A property description is sufficient if the writing furnishes within itself, or by reference to some other existing writing, the means or data by which the particular land to be conveyed may be identified with reasonable certainty.”47 As particularly relevant here, Texas courts have consistently found that a blanket grant of real property interests may satisfy the description standard where a grant- or conveys all of the land that it owns in a geographic area so long as the boundaries of the geographic area are identified with reasonably certainty, such as an entire state or county.48
While subsection (e), itself, does not contain a geographic limitation, the entire grant of interests conveyed are limited by Section 2.01 to properties, rights and interests located in (or [that] cover or relate to properties located in) the State of Texas or the Outer Continental Shelf or such other offshore area adjacent to the State of Texas. This geographic description, separated by the words “or” produces three separate geographical descriptions: (i) the State of Texas; (ii) the Outer Continental Shelf and (iii) such other offshore area adjacent to the State of Texas.49 Under the applicable law, this first description, the State of Texas, is sufficient’ to satisfy the statute of frauds as to those real estate interests within Texas.50
C. Whether the Second Lien Parties’ Liens on the Disputed Real Property Interests are Perfected?
Under Texas law, “[a] conveyance of real property or an interest in real property or a mortgage or deed of trust is void as to a creditor or to a subsequent [796]*796purchaser for a valuable consideration ■without notice unless the instrument has been acknowledged, sworn to, or proved and filed for record as required by law.”51 Recording a mortgage in the proper county provides “notice to all persons of the existence of the instrument.”52 As a result, a subsequent purchaser for value has constructive notice of “every recital, reference, and reservation contained in or fairly disclosed by any instrument which forms an essential link in the chain of title under which he claims.”53 Real property interests transferred through a general grant will be in the chain of title if the document making the general grant used language sufficient to satisfy the statute of frauds and the document was properly recorded.54
The Mortgages provide for a general grant of all Quicksilver’s real property interests in the state of Texas. As discussed above, this general grant satisfies the statute of frauds. Further, the Mortgages were properly filed in Denton County, Hill County, Hood County, Johnson County, Parker County, Somervell County, and Tarrant County, Texas. As a result, the Second
Lien Parties hold perfected liens on all of Quicksilver’s real property interests located in those counties. The parties did not stipulate that each of the Disputed Real Property Interests are located in those seven counties.55 As such, this remains an open issue for the Court, but one which the parties should be able to agree on.
Conclusion
For the reasons provided, the Court finds that the Second Lien Creditors hold a perfected lien on the Disputed Real Property Interests located in Denton County, Hill County, Hood County, Johnson County, Parker County, Somervell County, and Tarrant County, Texas. The parties should submit an appropriate form of order.
