Thank you Mr. Kitchen for the initial response. I live in River Oaks, Texas and own 2 lots in a “mixed zoning” block. What is the minimum acreage specified for residential drilling and does this acreage all have to be located in the same area (block)?

I do not know what your initial question asked. But a legal description would help.

You will have to provide more details. Last time I drove through River Oaks, there weren’t any drilling rigs.

Thank you.

Pat

Sorry, I misunderstood that you lived in River Oaks (Houston).

But, you should still provide more detailed info, i.e., legal description.

Thank you

Pat

Pat,

I think that she was referring to River Oaks, Texas in Tarrant County.
