Selling in Texas / Freestone County
Buckhead provides a free written offer. Our offer comes at no cost and no obligation.
Request an OfferWhether you have a purchase offer in hand or are beginning to consider a sale, identify the property and interest you want to discuss. A county name is a starting point; a tract description, ownership records, and any available royalty statements make the conversation more specific.
Already leased? Gather the complete lease and any amendments. An oil and gas attorney can review the documents and any questions about restrictions or purchase rights.
Comparing an offer with a check? Confirm that they cover the same interest and identify the production months represented by the payment. See what a mineral rights offer pays for.
Managing inherited minerals? Keep correspondence together with the ownership and estate records you have. An attorney can address current ownership and signing authority. Read the Texas inherited-minerals guide.
The figures below describe county records, not a particular owner's interest. They do not establish a sale price or predict when a well will be drilled.
| Wells on record | 5,002 |

Start with the county and property description, then gather any deed, lease, amendments, division orders, and recent royalty statements you have. Identify missing records and questions about ownership for professional review.
Bring the lease, amendments, and ownership records into the discussion. An oil and gas attorney can review any restrictions, purchase rights, or notice provisions relevant to the proposed transaction. A provision in another owner's lease does not establish what applies to yours.
County records provide context, but they do not establish ownership, a price for a particular interest, or a schedule for future drilling. Compare the exact interest described in an offer with your records and discuss unresolved questions with the appropriate professional.
