Mineral Estate Defined
The Texas Oil and Gas Lease

Texas mineral and royalty owners frequently have questions as to the ownership of their mineral estates.  We provide the necessary research to help owners answer questions concerning their mineral & royalty interests, including:
  • What do I own?
  • What part of my mineral estate is leased, or held by production, or available to lease?
  • Did one of my ancestors reserve a mineral or royalty interest in land that they sold?
  • Can you help me lease my minerals?
  • Can you find a buyer for my minerals or royalties?

Several good reasons for knowing the status of your mineral holdings are;

  1. Minerals should be viewed as an investment, and as such you should ensure that you have clear title.  It is imperative to exercise due-diligence on any investment that you own.

  2. An owner needs to review the conveyance (or reservation) wording to understand exactly what portions of what minerals were actually conveyed or retained.

  3. If you intend to pass minerals or royalties to your heirs, it is essential to have an accurate accounting of your mineral holdings for probate and conveyance.

  4. An informed mineral owner can benefit immensely in oil & gas lease negotiations, by knowing their title and ownership, and any outstanding interests in others.

  5. When buying or selling a tract of land, knowing exactly the extent of the mineral estate will allow for negotiation of the terms based upon the quantity and nature of the minerals and royalties included and/or reserved.
