I reside in Oklahoma. The oil and gas lease is in Panola County Texas. We haven’t been receiving all of our royalties for some time by working interest owners who also reside in Oklahoma. Should I talk to an attorney in Oklahoma or Texas? If Texas, can anyone suggest a good attorney in Panola County?
Have you contacted each operator by certified mail return receipt to the Division Order Analyst or the Revenue department asking how many net acres and what royalty they are carrying for you? Also have you checked the division order decimal to make sure that it matches. Why do you think that you are not getting all of your royalties? Explain to them why you do not think you are getting your royalties and ask them to clarify. Include your name, owner number name of the wells, decimal amount from your statements. Start there. You will need that information before deciding upon an attorney. This is the less expensive way to start.
How do you know they aren’t paying you all of what’s owed?
Because one is paying.
