You can search the Railroad Commission website for the drilling permit.  There will be a unit plat and a form "P-12" showing the pooled tracts on the permit (W-1) page.  Once the well is drilled the operator will verify the mineral title on all tracts in the unit and once that is complete to their satisfaction they will send you a Division Order which will show your interest in the unit.

If you will join the RRC of Texas Help Center, http://www.gohaynesvilleshale.com/group/trrchelpcenter, you will find instructions and links for searching out well permits. You should also join the Eagle Ford Shale Group: http://www.gohaynesvilleshale.com/group/eaglefordshale.

Keith has created a new forum just for the Eagle Ford Shale and you will find a link to it on the Eagle Ford group page.  If you have trouble navigating the RRC site just ask someone for help because it is pretty confusing to newbies.

Its just confusing all together, as well as poorly designed and awkward.

It is just "departmentalized", Baron.  You can find anything available online with one bookmark:

http://www.rrc.state.tx.us/data/online/index.php.  All of the public query forms can be found on this page.  Everything else (permits, forms, maps, etc...) can be found at the top of this page (subjects & drop-down lists).

Considering what it looked like three years ago the site has improved considerably since beginning the transition (not complete) to a digital online filing system.

Permits are but completions may not be.

Depending on where you are completions may be 6 months to 1 year delayed.  If they improve the on-line filing system any more, it will come to a complete stop!  :)

That I believe!  That goes for the poor county clerks too, I bet.
