Procedure for requesting interest on late payment

Little clarification needed please. When requesting interest on delayed royalty payment, what specifics does the request need to contain—as in production dates, etc., or just owner info, well, and general request? Thank you!

If you are in Texas, check the Texas Land statutes for specifics.

For Oklahoma properties, here is the statute:

This assumes that your lease form does not provide for a quicker payment.
