On the Texas Unclaimed Property site, I discovered that there are a number of royalty payments due to my deceased husband from wells and/or property his family owned.
They are asking for property info (they provided property IDs) and division orders for the properties. I have no idea where to begin to find this info.
Can someone point me in the right direction please and thank you!
Do you have any paperwork that has clues to the descriptions with a county, operator, old check stubs, probate documents, etc.? The property ID might help with the RCC maps, but if they are internal company IDs then it won’t.
You could start with a look on www.TexasFile.com and look up his name and any ancestors that he might have had that gave it to him. That could give you the first start. It is relatively inexpensive to look (free) and print (small fee).
If the unclaimed property gives the operator name, then you can contact the operator and ask them what you need to do to get copies of the Division Orders.
Thanks for the quick reply. I’ve been trying to find documentation, however I can’t find anything among his papers. The only info I have is the property IDs and Company name. Mostly Chevron, a few TEP Barnett, and two Sunoco. I’ll try reaching out to them.
