Texas Minerals, Florida Residence

Texas is the top oil and gas producing state in the country, and millions of acres of mineral rights have passed through families for generations. If you're a Florida resident who inherited Texas mineral rights—or bought them as an investment—you're managing one of the most valuable types of mineral ownership from 1,000+ miles away.

Many Florida residents discover they own Texas minerals after inheriting from family members who lived in West Texas, the Hill Country, or East Texas decades ago. Managing these assets remotely presents unique challenges:

Understanding Texas-specific mineral laws

Dealing with multiple operators across different counties

Tracking production in the Permian vs Eagle Ford vs other basins

Coordinating multi-state tax questions with your CPA from another state

Major Texas Producing Areas

We buy minerals throughout Texas. The state's diverse geology means mineral values vary significantly by location:

Permian Basin

America's most prolific oil basin spanning West Texas. Includes Midland Basin, Delaware Basin. Counties: Midland, Martin, Howard, Reeves, Loving, Ward, Ector, Andrews, Lea (NM spillover).

Eagle Ford Shale

South Texas oil and gas play. Counties: Karnes, DeWitt, Gonzales, La Salle, Dimmit, Webb, McMullen, Live Oak, Atascosa.

Haynesville Shale

East Texas natural gas play extending into Louisiana. Counties: Harrison, Panola, Shelby, Rusk, Nacogdoches.

Barnett Shale

North Texas gas play around Fort Worth. Counties: Tarrant, Johnson, Wise, Denton, Parker, Hood.

Why Texas Minerals Are Valuable

Texas leads the nation in oil production, accounting for roughly 40% of all U.S. crude oil output. The state's mineral rights can be particularly valuable because:

Proven reserves: Decades of production history prove the geology

Active development: Operators continue drilling new wells

Infrastructure: Pipelines, processing, and takeaway capacity

Favorable laws: Texas mineral laws protect mineral owner rights

Texas-Specific Questions

Texas has no personal income tax, so there's no Texas income tax on your royalties or on the sale — and Florida has no state income tax either. Federal tax treatment of a sale varies by situation — consult a qualified CPA or tax attorney for specifics.
You can sell leased minerals. The buyer acquires your mineral ownership subject to the existing lease. You typically receive the sale price at closing, and the buyer receives all future royalties. This is common—most Texas minerals we buy are under active leases.
Check your royalty statements—they typically list the county and lease name. Division orders also show the property location. If you have a deed or inheritance documents, the legal description will reference the county. We can help you identify the location if you send us your documents.
Not at all. Many families own minerals across multiple counties, especially if ancestors owned large ranches or bought land in different areas. We can buy all your Texas minerals in a single transaction, even if they're in different counties with different operators. One closing, one payment.
