I’m a semi-retired transactional oil & gas attorney and CPA in Lakeway who owns undivided mineral interests and non-JOA HBP working interests in Ector, Crane, Upton & Midland counties, both non-consenting cotenant (NCCT) interests in several Diamondback wells. Have recently sued Diamondback in Upton Co. 112th District Court for revenue deficiencies of ~$75K for the APO NCCT interests. Can anyone recommend a smart & aggressive attorney within an hour or so from Rankin to assist me with the proper litigation procedures in this relatively small $$amount case? Mainly someone to review my pleadings, make recommendations re procedural issues and probably join me at any hearings. I’m a fish out of water in the courtroom. MSJ hearing not set yet, but likely will be 9/1/26 in Rankin.

Several oil and gas attorneys for Texas are listed in the Directories tab above.

You can also use the magnifying glass and search on “attorney” as some other names have been mentioned on the forum over the years.

Appears he is a landman, not a litigation attorney. I’m looking for a litigation attorney. to assist me.

I live across the lake from you in Point Venture. Any chance you could consult with me about mineral interests I own in Leon County. We’re looking to either sell or negotiate a new contract on interests we inherited.

If you have current production that you inherited, you cannot usually renegotiate the leases as they are a contract for as long as the production continues under the terms of the lease.
