I have filed a civil suit against the county. I have my day in court in about two months. The county has sold me the surface and has retained the mineral rights! Texas statute states that the county cannot do that. What I’m wondering if there is a case out there that says otherwise???
Perhaps, Mr. Garcia, the county had no mineral rights to convey and the mineral reservation was to not slander the Warranty of Title Provision in your Deed.
Thanks for replying so soon. But there are minerals involved, the property that I bought is pooled in a 40 acre and a pump jack is working for the last 2 or 3 months. The title company has done a title search and has come up with that minerals have never been severed!! Texas statute states “it must sell all right, title, and interest which it has for itself and as trustee for other taxing units”
