Inherited minerals

General Mineral Rights Discussion
1

Came across a letter that was sent that my mom doesn’t remember researching.

She inherited mineral rights in Smith County, but apparently the lawyer sent her a mineral and royalty deed that they found after they sent out the other ones. She never got this one transferred into her name. How would I go about finding out info on it? I’ve been on Texas file, Shelby county cad, pianola county cad (because it says panola in description).

It says county of Shelby

Well/lease: fogleman/clydelle MRS (A-1)

Section/township/range: A-423 A McFadden sir panola co-43.14%, 703.385AC

Check Smith, Shelby, and Panola on Texas File. Did lawyer send your mother copy of deed? Y

You can also check for her name for all of Texas on Texas File, small fee to check.

Yes I checked Texas file. I have the ones from smith and wood county. I just found this deed for panola county yesterday and can’t find anything about it. I checked for my mom’s name, the person she inherited it from and even the person she inherited it from. I don’t see any info on it.
