Question on what I have inherited

I inherited: An undivided interest in and to a certain mineral permit, except oil, gas, coal and lignite, in Mineral Survey No. A-215, part Sec. 2, Blk No. 117, Public School Land, Claim “Cude No. 1,” of 20.66 acres, Culberson County, Texas. Can anyone tell me what type of mineral I inherited and where it is in the county. I’d appreciate anyone’s help.

It would be best if you provided a copy of the document. If it actually says “except”, then it would be all minerals capable of being transferred via the instrument with the exception of the listed minerals.

I do not have a copy of the document. In the will it was described as I wrote it out. I’ve never seen the term “mineral permit”. I don’t know what that means. Does it mean, I, myself have a permit to extract certain allowed minerals? Or could companies that are interested offer a lease? Do you know where it is located in the county?

I tried Courthouse Direct but they don’t offer Culberson County to search for the document.

Thank you for your help in trying to figure this out .

There is something wrong with the legal description. TX General Land Office - Section 2, Blk 117, PSL is A-4438. There is no A-215 in Culberson County. Use TexasFile to search the deed records for Culberson County.

A bit of a new one on me, but the grant cites the specific document. It looks to be a grant into an interest in a mining claim. I would want to see the other associated documents with the chain of title to gain a better understanding of the grant.
