My sister and I own the mineral rights on 60 acres a few miles south of Carrizo Springs, Tx.
How do I locate information about who if anyone is drilling in or around this area and what to do about leasing our mineral rights?
We do not own the surface of this acreage. We hired an attorney to check any legal issues down there and he reported all the proofs of ownership were filed.
Who do I write in Austin to ascertain if there has been any activity that should have been reported to us concerning our mineral rights.
Thank you, Robert R. Henry
Robert,
Do you have an Abstract #, Section and Block # for these minerals. With the legal description I can pull up the GIS Map and tell if there is any activity in the area.
This link is to the Dimmit County Group. You might want to join.

Robert,
After checking the GIS Map I see some production in the past in your area. A fairly decent Oil/Gas well was drilled in 2012 directly to the south of your Section 21 in Section 19.
Link to Completion Report on well API # 127-34527:

Also in Section 19 Well API #127-32957/oil well/ 1990/Austin Chalk Formation. I see several plugged oil and gas wells in the surrounding area of your Section 21. I see several Horizontal and vertical wells to the west and northwest of your minerals.

Mr. Liles, perhaps you can assist me, or direct me to whom I need to contact. I inherited "a non-participating, term royalty interest in Runnels County, Being 172 acres of land, more or less, out of Block #16 and #9, both being subdivisions of Survey #442, John L. Lynch, known as Abstract Number 346; as more particularly described by metes and bounds in deed from Grady Poe, et al, to Harold Poe, dated 4-18-73, recorded in Volume 431, page 490 of the Deed Records of Runnels County, Texas." As a native Californian, all of this is foreign to me. I simply would like to find out the status of the land. I have phoned Runnels County Clerk and Attorney offices, but receive no reply. I am just not sure of next steps. I appreciate any wisdom or direction you can share. Audrey Poe

Thank you, Mr. Liles! Is it unusual that I have not been contacted when activity is taking place?

If activity has taken place on the land, is it odd that I have received no correspondence on this for a number of years?
