Civil Suit Regarding Surface Owner (vs Mineral Owner)

I have filed a civil suit against the county. I have my day in court in about two month’s. The county has sold me the surface and has retained the mineral rights! Texas statue states that the county can not do that. What i"m wandering if there is a case out there thats says other wise???

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.

Thanx for repling so soon. But there are minerals involived, the property that i bought is pooled in a 40 acre and a pump jack is workin for the last to 2 or 3 months. The title company has done a title search and has come up with,that minerals have never been severed!! Tx. statue states “it must sell all right, title, and intrest which it has for itself and as trustee for other taxing units”
