Thank you, Clint Liles, relating to the information about TR Energy for Thomas Slankard! Thomas, I tried to reach you through the "friend" and private contact route with no response. Since I only joined the group once I read your inquiry, I am concerned I didn't do something correctly in attempting to reach you to explain that through an heirship, several members of my family were contacted by a landman re: to what I believe is the same 98.66 acre property. The lease agreements were signed after one relative had a Texas mineral rights attorney review the mineral rights lease agreement, but TR Energy was NOT involved what-so-ever to my knowledge. The landman I spoke to sent me portions of a court document which listed the names of those receiving a percentage of mineral rights from almost 50 years ago where a relative died intestate and the estate went what I call "back up the family tree and then back down". While Slankard is not a name listed in the court document, I have seen the Slankard name appear in other documents, so I am guessing you are either a descendant of a blood relative of mine (paternal side of the deceased relative) or a descendant from the maternal side of the deceased relative). The property is 98.66 acres, more or less, of the Isaac H. Johnson Survey, A-216, Marion County, Texas. Because there are so many descendant heirs, and the factor that if a well is drilled it could be capped, the likelihood of seeing much, if any money, is more-than-likely a reality. The Landman I spoke to in September was doing her due diligence to locate all the rightful heirs and I do know that a Slankard was one of them. If this is the same property Thomas is referencing, would anyone in this discussion have a comment for the both of us as to why a different company would be contacting Thomas rather than the Land Service Company which contacted about 17 of my immediate relatives and me and I helped her identify other descendants? I would like to find out more about this property as well as my mineral rights knowledge and experience is about 60 days in all.

We were recently told we had inherited mineral rights and we were sent a contract for TR Energy to lease for mineral rights. They said it sets on a 98 acre tract which are several owners. We were told that we probably won't make any money off of it even if the hit gas/oil. Anyone have this happen to them?
