Get Your Free Written OfferTexas 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
We buy minerals throughout Texas. The state's diverse geology means mineral values vary significantly by location:
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).
South Texas oil and gas play. Counties: Karnes, DeWitt, Gonzales, La Salle, Dimmit, Webb, McMullen, Live Oak, Atascosa.
East Texas natural gas play extending into Louisiana. Counties: Harrison, Panola, Shelby, Rusk, Nacogdoches.
North Texas gas play around Fort Worth. Counties: Tarrant, Johnson, Wise, Denton, Parker, Hood.
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
County, acreage, current production
Production data, geology, development potential
No travel to Texas required
Typically by check
Six steps an heir who lives outside Texas can take to sell an inherited Texas mineral or royalty interest, from gathering the paperwork to reviewing the deed before signing. This is general information, not legal advice.
Collect recent royalty check stubs, division orders, any mineral deed and the estate papers that name the heirs. A check stub usually shows the payor, the property name and the owner’s decimal interest.
The legal description on a deed or lease names the county, and the payor on a check stub is the company sending the royalties. Together they identify the interest to anyone reviewing it.
Whether the county records already show the heirs as owners, or a probate, will or heirship step is still open, is a title question. A qualified attorney in Texas, the state where the minerals are located, can say which applies to the estate.
A single offer has nothing to be measured against. Written offers from more than one buyer show the market for this specific interest.
Check whether each price is firm or subject to title review, whether the deed covers named tracts or every interest in the county, and who receives royalties held in suspense when the sale closes.
Read the mineral deed and any purchase agreement in full before signing. A qualified attorney in Texas, the state where the minerals are located, can review both.
That depends on the interest, the estate and the paperwork, so no general page can answer it for one owner. A qualified attorney in Texas, the state where the minerals are located, can review title, the mineral deed and the purchase agreement, and can explain what that review covers before it starts. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is there more than one written offer? A single offer has nothing to be measured against; written offers from more than one buyer show the market for this specific interest. How to compare offers
Is the price firm, or subject to title review? A price that is subject to title review can change after the buyer examines title, so a firm price and a conditional one are not the same number.
Does the deed convey specific tracts, or everything in the county? Each buyer proposes its own deed, and what the deed’s wording covers matters as much as the price. A qualified attorney in the state where the minerals are located can say what a proposed deed conveys. Mother Hubbard clause
Who receives unpaid or suspended royalties when the sale closes? Royalties an operator is holding in suspense, and payments for production before the effective date, are a term of the deal; each purchase agreement says which side receives them. Royalties in suspense
