Transfer of ownership, mineral rights is Madison and other TX counties

I see a few posts about this topic, but no definitive answers. I want to give my mineral rights to my daughter while I am still alive, in my right mind, and able to transact business. I need someone to provide a simple-as-possible explanation of how this is done, who/what office to contact, and what forms/documents would be needed to complete the transfer. I could put this in a will but don’t want her to have to go through proof of ownership mess. We do not live in the state. Does anyone out there have some answers? Annette

There have been quite a few forum posts on this topic. Search on Richard Winblad’s name using the magnifying glass. He is also listed in the Directory above. It may be to your daughter’s benefit if she receives the minerals upon your death as she may get a step up in value which helps the tax situation if she ever decides to sell.
