Whatever you do, don’t ever sell your mineral rights; they can be passed down to other generations. Our family made that mistake on a 146-acre cotton farm we owned. In order to meet our price, the buyer wanted a 50% interest in the mineral rights with executive privilege. Not knowing any better, we did. Ouch! Eduro leased it for 3 years (2-year option) for approximately $81,000. We still have 50% interest but still…
On other mineral rights we have, we were contacted by The Caffey Group. Here is some contact info:
Jason Ragsdell Landman The Caffey Group, L.L.C. 309 W. 7th St. Ste. 1300 Fort Worth, TX 76102 817-348-9766 ext. 111 817-689-0243 cell
Hopefully this helps.
Sometimes people think they have the mineral rights but it does not show that way in the Lubbock County records. That is what landmen do: they research the records and usually they will contact you.
