I just received USB files of my father’s O&G log book and discovered property in Cooke County, Texas, the description is:
1/3 undivided interest in 1/40 mineral interest in the 60 acres out of the Miller Hawson survey, A-587 Cooke County, Texas
Does anyone know what is going on there,? I looked on the Texas Railroad Commission GIS and I see active oil wells, but Texas O&G is foreign to me. Everything I’ve worked with is in Oklahoma.
If i own undivided interest should I be getting royalties from any wells located in that abstract?
When my father died, no probate work was done in Texas, and I don’t know if he did anything about it either when he inherited the royalties. What are my first steps towards finding my ownership, figuring out if the active wells apply to my minerals, and getting the minerals transferred to me?
Thanks for any assistance!
