Received cash offer for mineral rights in Borden County TX

Can anyone please help me? I’ve got inherited mineral rights to 20 acres in Borden County TX. I’ve received a cash purchase offer from a landman.

  • Any recommendations on to sell mineral rights or not at this time?
  • Any recommendations for next steps in cross referencing value/worth?
  • Any recommended internet sites to double check land information, wells in area, etc?
  • Any recommendations for a professional person to talk to, for help with the above? Thanks so much for your assistance.

The GIS viewer on the Texas Railroad Commission website will help you with your search of nearby activity. Do you have a legal description?

The existence (or non-existence) of nearby wells, permits and new leases will make a significant difference in price and offer evaluation. Check out the RRC and GLO public maps and, if you have access to DrillingInfo, run a few searches on the area to get a sense of activity. Initial offers can often by increased if you find a couple of companies that are interested in the same acreage.
