Hello folks:
If you haven’t already read this on the other Fayette County blog, Dusty posted a new website (CourtHouseDirect.com) for searching out courthouse filings. Dusty did a very good job of spelling out the good points, so rather than try to paraphrase what he said, I just copied his and pasted it below. I spent a couple of hours on this site this morning and found it to be a little easier to search and view than TexasFile. Since this was posted on the Eastern Fayette Blog, Dusty points out that Geo Southern and Sabine River LLC, not to be confused with the now bankrupt company, Sabine Oil and Gas, have been leasing. Geo Southern seems to be concentrating on the area between LaGrange and Schulenburg and Sabine River is hanging around closer to our area. It looks like they have been working the Muldoon area and probably most of the area that the old Southern Bay and their latest owners were drilling. Just in scanning, I did find one entry for Tracker Services which might be of interest to some.
See below thanks to Dusty!
"This is probably going to be old news since following you and the other vets on this site is how I’ve learned most of my research skills, but if you want the hot recording info go to CourtHouseDirect.com and sign up for their Lease Alert for whatever counties you are interested in following. They’ll send you emails several times a month listing new filings that generally are about two weeks old. You can go through the index and just open things that look interesting, and it’s free. You can’t search this like on TexasFile but it’s current and did I mention free?
The last update I got on Fayette that covered filings through the end of July showed GeoSouthern still leasing in a corridor along Hwy 77 extending from LaGrange to I-10. In July they recorded about 10 new leases in Abstract-182, 2 each in A-231, A-37 and A-20, and leases on single tracts in A-79, 91 and 224. These were all lease memos so no details except for 3 year lease term. GeoSouthern and Sabine River Energy also recorded some lease amendments last month where they added 3 year extensions on prior leases that were expiring.
Hope this helps."
