These are the public records that show where a mineral interest stands, and what each one can and can't prove. - This is general information, not legal advice. It covers Texas records only. Naming a Texas office here is not a statement about where mineral.land buys. - Start with the deed you hold and read what it says about minerals. Then follow the names through the county clerk's real property records, because the indexes the law requires run by grantor and grantee names. The appraisal district and the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) can point you to a tax account, an operator and a lease number, but neither one decides who owns the minerals. If the owner of record has died, the county where they lived is usually where the probate trail starts. If you were never paid, search the Comptroller's unclaimed property list. What the papers you find add up to is for a title examiner or an attorney to say. ### Haynesville & East Texas Mineral Rights Buyer | Mineral Land - **URL**: https://mineral.land/haynesville-and-east-texas-mineral-rights-buyer - **Headline**: Selling Haynesville and East Texas mineral and royalty interests - **Summary**: Direct buyer of mineral & gas royalty interests across East Texas & the Haynesville Shale (Panola, Harrison, Rusk, Shelby, San Augustine. - **Sections**: Three East Texas factors we verify before making an offer; Ask for an offer on East Texas minerals; Contact; Entity; Guides - East Texas mineral tracts sit inside irregular Mexican headright leagues and labors where legacy Travis Peak and Cotton Valley vertical gas units overlap modern 640-acre and 1,280-acre Bossier and Haynesville horizontal units. - This page is general information from a direct buyer, not legal, tax, or investment advice. - In RRC District 06, a single family tract in an original headright survey (such as the George Goodwin Survey, A-389 in Panola County) is frequently held by production from a 1970s or 1990s Cotton Valley gas unit while also participating in deeper Haynesville Shale horizontal allocation wells. Evaluating an East Texas interest requires checking the recorded unit designations, the metes-and-bounds tract acreage inside each pooled unit boundary, and whether the underlying oil and gas lease allows or restricts post-production gathering, treating, and compression deductions. ### Mineral Land | We buy mineral and royalty interests - **URL**: https://mineral.land/ - **Headline**: We buy minerals and royalties for our own account. - **Summary**: mineral.land buys mineral, royalty and ORRI interests for its own account. How we figure net royalty acres, what our offer letter says. - **Sections**: What we buy, and what we'll ask you for; How we figure net royalty acres; What our offer letter says; What closing looks like; Words you'll see in the paperwork; Questions owners ask; Read the records yourself; Ask for an offer - Own minerals or royalties and thinking about selling? Tell us where the interest is. We buy mineral, royalty and overriding royalty interests for its own account, producing or not. If we can make an offer, it comes in writing. - We're the buyer across the table. We don't represent you, and nothing on this site is advice on whether to sell. Want an independent opinion first? Show our offer to an oil and gas attorney, your CPA or another buyer before you sign anything. - Whole interests or part of one. To price an interest we have to find it at the courthouse and on the operator's pay records, so the first thing we ask for is paper you likely already have. Not sure what you own, or where the paper is? Here is where the Texas records are. ### Panola County, Texas mineral records | Mineral Land - **URL**: https://mineral.land/panola-county-texas-mineral-rights - **Headline**: Mineral rights in Panola County, Texas: what the public records show - **Summary**: What the Railroad Commission well map, the Panola County Clerk's index and the appraisal district show about minerals, with each number's source and date. - **Sections**: On this page; 1Where Panola County sits; 2Wells the RRC map shows in Panola County; 3Mineral deeds, heirship affidavits and unit filings recorded here; 4Why a count of recorded leases can mislead; 5The clerk's index and our copy of it; 6The appraisal district and its mineral roll; 7What these records don't tell you - Three public sources describe minerals in Panola County: the Railroad Commission's well map, the county clerk's index and the appraisal district. This page counts what the first two show, says what each count means, and says what none of them can prove. - This page is education, not legal advice. It reports what public records show and doesn't say who owns any minerals in Panola County. Naming a county here is not a statement about where mineral.land buys. - The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) well map, queried September 29, 2026, shows 10,699 map points with Panola County's API county code, 6,047 of them drawn as gas wells and 312 as oil wells. Our copy of the Panola County Clerk's index, current to July 30, 2026, holds between 619 and 914 entries a year labeled MINERAL DEED from 2020 through 2025, and between 373 and 517 a year labeled AFFIDAVIT OF HEIRSHIP. None of those numbers says who owns a mineral interest, what a lease pays or whether a well is producing. Ownership and lease terms are in the instruments themselves, read in order, and reading them is a job for a title examiner or an attorney. Production is in the RRC's lease production reports. ### Permian Basin Mineral & Royalty Buyer (Midland & Delaware) - **URL**: https://mineral.land/permian-basin-mineral-and-royalty-buyer-texas - **Headline**: Selling Permian Basin mineral and royalty interests - **Summary**: Direct buyer of mineral, NPRI, and overriding royalty interests across the Midland and Delaware Basins in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. - **Sections**: Three Permian title details that affect an offer; What to send if you want a written offer; Ask for an offer on Permian minerals; Contact; Entity; Guides - In the Midland and Delaware Basins, a single 640-acre railroad or Public School Land section can hold multiple horizontal benches, depth-severed leases, and two-mile allocation wells. Here is what we check before putting a written offer on the table. - This page is general information from a direct buyer, not legal, tax, or investment advice. - West Texas mineral deeds and leases describe land by Section, Block, Survey (such as T&P RR Co., H&GN RR Co., or Public School Land), and Abstract number across counties like Midland, Martin, Howard, Upton, Reagan, Glasscock, Reeves, Loving, Winkler, Ward, Pecos, and Culberson. Because older vertical San Andres, Clearfork, Spraberry, or Wolfcamp wells often held only shallow or specific stratigraphic intervals under horizontal Pugh clauses, an owner may hold one royalty rate in shallow vertical wells and a different lease status or unleased interest in deeper horizontal benches. ### Selling NPRI & Overriding Royalty Interests (ORRI) (TX) - **URL**: https://mineral.land/selling-npri-and-overriding-royalty-interests-texas - **Headline**: Selling a non-participating royalty (NPRI) or overriding royalty (ORRI) in Texas - **Summary**: How direct buyers evaluate and price non-participating royalty interests (fixed vs. floating NPRI) and overriding royalty interests (ORRI) in Texas. - **Sections**: How we figure net royalty acres for an NPRI vs. an ORRI; Ask for an offer on an NPRI or ORRI; Contact; Entity; Guides - You don't need executive leasing rights to sell a royalty stream. We buy perpetual non-participating royalty interests (NPRIs) carved out of the mineral estate and leasehold overriding royalty interests (ORRIs) carved out of working interests. - This page is general information from a direct buyer, not legal, tax, or investment advice. - A non-participating royalty interest (NPRI) is carved out of the mineral fee by a deed and survives the expiration of any single oil and gas lease (unless created as a term royalty). An overriding royalty interest (ORRI) is carved out of a specific oil and gas lease by an assignment from the lessee; like an NPRI, it bears zero drilling or operating expense, but an ORRI typically expires if the underlying lease terminates and has no renewal-and-extension ("anti-washout") clause. ### Selling Producing vs. Non-Producing Minerals (TX) | mineral.land - **URL**: https://mineral.land/selling-producing-vs-non-producing-minerals-texas - **Headline**: Selling producing vs. non-producing mineral rights in Texas - **Summary**: How direct buyers evaluate producing royalty checks, leased acreage with permitted or drilled wells, and unleased mineral rights in Texas. - **Sections**: Four stages of mineral tracts we evaluate; What changes in the offer letter; Ask for an offer; Contact; Entity; Guides - Whether an interest pays a monthly royalty check, sits under an active lease waiting on a rig, or is unleased with no current operator determines which records a buyer checks and how the offer letter is structured. - This page is general information from a direct buyer, not legal, tax, or investment advice. - A producing mineral interest has both a current cash flow (the monthly check stub from existing wells) and remaining undeveloped benches or infill locations under the tract. A leased but non-producing interest has a known royalty fraction and primary-term expiration date on the recorded lease, plus any Railroad Commission (RRC) drilling permits filed on the unit. An unleased mineral interest carries full executive leasing rights and 100% of future bonus and royalty, but no near-term well schedule unless an offset operator is pooling adjacent sections. ### Division orders and check stubs in Texas | Mineral Land - **URL**: https://mineral.land/texas-division-order-check-stub - **Headline**: Division orders and royalty check stubs in Texas: what the statute says - **Summary**: What Texas Nat. Res. Code Chapter 91, Subchapters J & L, says a division order may contain, what a royalty check stub must show. - **Sections**: On this page; 1Who is who; 2When the money is due; 3When it can be held without interest; 4What a division order may contain; 5What must be on the stub; 6A decimal you can check by hand; 7Asking questions and fixing a wrong stub - A royalty owner is paid from the decimal on the check stub, and the home page worksheet turns that decimal into net royalty acres. This page sets out what Texas law says about that paper, and shows how to test a decimal against a deed with a few lines of arithmetic. - This is general information, not legal advice. It covers Texas oil and gas wells only. Other states have their own laws. It reports what the statute says and doesn't tell you whether to sign anything. - Subchapters J and L of Chapter 91 of the Texas Natural Resources Code set the rules for paying oil and gas royalties. They list what a division order may contain (§ 91.402(c)), what every check stub must show (§ 91.502), and the deadlines for payment and for answers to an owner's written questions. The decimal on the stub is your share of the well or unit, and you can test it by hand against your deed and lease. A decimal that doesn't match your arithmetic is a question to ask the payor, not proof of a mistake. Whether a particular division order fits the statute is a question for an oil and gas attorney.
