Get Your Free Written OfferTexas is the top oil and gas producing state in the United States, and millions of acres of mineral rights have moved through families for generations. Indiana residents who inherited Texas minerals — often from parents, grandparents, or aunts and uncles who lived in West Texas, the Hill Country, the Panhandle, or East Texas — are managing one of the most valuable categories of mineral ownership from out of state.

Many Indiana families own Texas minerals in pieces — an undivided fraction split among siblings and cousins over two or three generations, where "most of us live in Indiana" and no one is sure what the interest is worth or who to call. A 1/48 or 1/96 share can quietly cost more in lease letters, division orders, and out-of-state tax filings than it pays.
Two facts help here. First, an undivided interest is independently sellable — you can sell your own fraction without every sibling or co-owner signing. Second, when several relatives all want out, coordinating a joint sale usually clears a stronger result than selling one tiny slice in isolation, and a direct buyer can price each family member's share separately so no one waits on anyone else.

Get Your Free Written OfferSix 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
