How to verify net minerals owned in Texas

Want is best and most accurate way to verify net minerals you own thru inheritance, purchased land,etc. Can a abstract company do this thru mineral take off run looking back as far as records go and give you back down of present day owners of the minerals? How does Oil & Gas operators verify net mineral ownership for division orders? I would like to know as accurate as possible net acres before signing lease bonus calculated on $/acre.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??
