Right-of-Way (ROW) Acreage Ownership Question?

Hi Mr. Cotten, Thanks for your insights again! I hope to learn more soon when I receive the ROW deed language only known as a reference (Vol. & Page #) The related concern is that the lease acreage is based without the ROW acreage - is that par for the course? A difference of six acres or so…

Regards, Ralpr

PS - you can call me whatever you want, but don’t call me late for dinner!

Ralphr,

Without seeing any documents, Texas has what is called the strip and gore doctrine, which is a bit complicated, but you may own to the centerline of the highway, if your ownership is only on one side of the highway.

Best,
