How can I find out if my great-grandfather has more mineral rights and is there any way that other family members can get them in Howard County, Texas?

If you have a significant reason to suspect that you aren’t receiving royalties that you should be, I would advise you to talk about your concerns with a landman. Howard County land records are available online as well, and you can search for your Great Grandfather’s name in their records.

Thank you for the info. I did drive to Big Spring and got my great grandfather’s land records, but when he passed, he left my great grandmother most everything. What I get confused about is that he only had 20 pages on his wreck in his records, but my great-grandmother has 80 pages, and I don’t know what to look for. Are any of these minerals any good? Are they still there? Where’s the money going? Or is he still getting payment, and where is that money going?

When you mention land records, may I ask what you are referring to? Also, you mention that this is your great grandfather; did he leave a will and do you have a copy of that will? If there are producing minerals in his or her (your great grandmother’s) name, check the tax rolls. The Howard County Appraisal Office is online to look those up.

Title runs can be really difficult and confusing. Best idea is to find a landman who will do a title run for you. However, it will set you back anywhere from $700 to $2,000.
