State Claims Mineral Rights
I live in the East Half of section27 Caddo Parish. The state is claiming the mineral rights to this 320 acres. They leased the property in 2005 for a 3 year term and have just released it again. We have a group working to regain our rights. We have contacted every one in the state we can think of including the Governor. Have not gotten a response from him as yet. We just this week started getting help from Representative Howard in Many. Could not get our own Senator or Representative to step up. Mr. Howard says he was to contact them today. My reason for posting here is to see if there are others reading this that also have been told the state has the mineral rights to their property.

Type Eagles Nest in the search box. Someone named Penny has been asking about the same thing... maybe you two can connect.

We know part of Eagles Nest is in our situation. Some of the property owners are in our group. Thanks for your time Tommy Munds

Do you have your mineral rights? We want ours just like the vast majority of the property owners in the state have their mineral rights. Ours were taken by the state when two people worked the system and got a law passed to help just themselves. And we do not think we are wasting our time. You can fight City Hall and you may just win. Thank you for your time.

That tract was likely patented after the State of Louisiana began reserving all minerals

Your statement is correct to a point, Ron. Yes the state shows two Patents issued in 1924 and 1927 to two people. But, we are finding documents that show parcels of land in the half section, in dispute , were being bought and sold prior to the Patent years. We feel very encouraged so far in our research. Thanks for your time.

I believe the state began reserving minerals whether stated or not in 1921

I have owned and sold some property on the north side of Cross Lake T18n R15w, that I am told the current owners do not have mineral rights and they are owned by the state. I have not had the opportunity to run the title, it is on my list because it is a small parcel less than 6 acres, surrounded by property with mineral rights.

bottom line is the state should not be above the law. if no production in ten years the mineral rights go back to the land owner and that should apply for state or goverment land that is sold also they should not be able to make up there on laws to pad there pockets!! all the state officals that are in office need to remember they are elected and the people vote for them and i for one do not like or support people that dont help and protect there people from outsiders trying to take advantage of them or worse there on goverment. these people work and pay taxes and the land belongs to them and so should there minerals its different if they would have known this when they bought there property.

There is no reason the landowners would not know this when the property was bought. The chain of title is public record. Any one who runs mineral title would know to check the patent. You may be able to fight city hall, but I doubt you can have the constitution amended to help a handful of landowners at the expense of the rest of all the other citizens of Louisiana.
