I believe I have inherited mineral rights in A-14 (William Devers League) and was able to do some research on it at the Courthouse that appears to confirm it. I only had a limited time to work on this while in B/CS, though. In order to confirm my ownership, would it be better to go through a landman or a title company?

Landman. Title companies generally don’t work within the subsurface space.

A good landman can render a _Landman’s Opinion of Title_. I have done it many times. One of my clients asked for an Abstract of Title on the drillsite tract but only wanted the _Landman’s Opinion of Title_ on the Unit Tracts. Pretty smart on conventional wells.
