My family and I own mineral rights in Howard County titled as follows: “Section 34, Block 31, Township 1 North, T&P RR Co. Survey, Howard County, Texas, NW/4, E/2, and SW/4 Tracts.” I got wind yesterday that a well is being run through our land by the former leaseholder, despite the lease having expired July 31 of 2020. I’ve had a few nibbles for a new lease but nothing worth mentioning, which was not surprising, considering the political climate. How do I go about finding out if there has, indeed, been a well bored without a lease in effect?

The Texas RRC Map Viewer does not show a horizontal well as having been permitted or drilled in your section [http://gis.rrc.texas.gov/GISViewer/index.html?api=22734409](http://gis.rrc.texas.gov/GISViewer/index.html?api=22734409)
