## Answer
Quick answer Selling mineral rights is not the same process in every state. The regulatory body, forced pooling law, state tax treatment, and key formations vary by state. Texas has no state income tax and limited forced pooling through its Railroad Commission. Oklahoma's OCC issues forced pooling orders. Pennsylvania is the only major Marcellus state without forced pooling. Buckhead Energy buys mineral rights in all 50 states and provides free written offers regardless of state.
