Looks like a local coordinate system, probably something based on the Texas State plane coordinate system (if it exists).

It's the first shapefile I've seen where the coordinates don't seem to be in lon/lat; rather, they look like this: [1413007.7300121039, 1159556.348466374], [1413007.6640587151, 1159558.0074478425], [1413007.5669405311, 1159560.4406569004].... Anyone know of the top of their head what the units are here, and how I map them to lon/lat? Below is the accompanying DBF. Thanks in advance!
