Who can I contact to get my mineral rights determined? Besides an attorney.
Landman or a self-research for titles at the courthouse or the county clerk’s office where you suspect or know its location.
I have all the deeds for the mineral rights—having a problem with operator.
They are in Starr County.
Is a “drive there” possible? I personally was at my wit’s end with a producer and was a mere 2 days before I was going to take a trip to their front door!
I know it’s aggravating.
A landman will be a less expensive first route to try. Get the statement from the operator addressing the issue and what you need to do to clarify it. You can find a Texas landman through AAPL. A CPL (highest designation) or RPL (second highest designation) will have training and are held to ethical standards.
He will not answer my phone calls.
Have you tried a certified letter return receipt? That starts a clock ticking in TX when they are supposed to respond. Is this the Division Order person or a landman?
I have tried to talk with the operator but he just puts me off.
Aapl?
Marilyn, sounds like you could end up spending more money than the minerals are worth trying to fix a title issue with the operator. Do you know how many Net Mineral Acres you own?
Yes 160
