Minerals are classified as real property in Texas. Inherited minerals are separate property as long as only titled in heir’s name in deed. What do you mean by “mineral rights”? Did you receive minerals, overriding royalty, NPRI, working interest in a lease, or something else? You should consult your divorce attorney as to treatment of separate assets in your state. Attorney may need to consult with an oil and gas attorney about your mineral rights if he is not familiar with this specialty.
