Rights will revert to landowner in 5 years

I sold my 25 acres in atascosa county 5 years ago and the contract states I keep the mineral rights for 10 years and then they go to the landowner. It is currently producing with 3 wells for the last 2 years. Can I sell my mineral rights to a company thats offering to buy? Do I inform them that I wont own the rights anymore in 5 years?

yes, you can sell your rights. You should inform them of the reversion. They will probably pick it up when they examine the records. But it could save everybody a lot of wasted time for them to know that up front.

You need to get an attorney to read the contract you signed for the sale. It might be that you may still be the owner if they are producing at the end of the 10 year term. Depending upon how it was written.
