Forgotten mineral acres, previously leased but no current lease. How to proceed?

You show the one survey in Smith County - is A-1096 also in Smith County?

As an FYI, there is no evidence that the Haynesville Shale play has moved into Smith County.

But other O&G activity is taking place in that county at this time (e.g. Goodland Lime, Travis Peak, other intervals of interest)

It is possible that lease brokers have been looking for you and cannot find you - I would NOT try to reach out to any company / let them contact you. Talk to the County Clerk about getting your updated contact information tied to your mineral interest.
