If you haven’t already leased, it will give you a little motivation to spend a little more time and even attorney dollars on the lease before signing. Washington Irving’s note about well lease ownership should also make all of us think about this lease clause. Beef it up to where you always know who owns the lease and who to contact. A severe penalty clause should the Lessee not follow the lease provisions.
Now, this is nothing but chatter; but, if you get time, it will be worth an afternoon drive to drive over and through the Cheapside area south of Gonzales.
