After 18 months we finally settled our father's estate with the stepmother. We now have new deeds showing me and my two brothers' ownership of mineral rights in several different surveys in Liberty, Chambers, and Hardin counties in Texas. Besides filing the deed with the county clerk of each respective county, are there other ways to "advertise" our properties for potential exploration companies to drill rather than sitting around and waiting for them to find us? We do currently have a few producing wells; however, they haven't been producing a whole lot since around 2001 to 2005. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
