XTO stops leasing efforts in Marion County, TX.

XTO has halted leasing efforts in Marion County. Found this out through Maverick Land Services in Marshall.

I've been very disappointed in the morals and ethics (or lack thereof) of Maverick and maybe it will now work to my family's advantage that I managed to get 4 of the 7 siblings to not sign a terrible lease presented to the other 3. I missed delivery of my "certified" letter today from Maverick. However, in a discussion posted in another area on this site, jkw3 acknowledges that we are free to pursue a lease with another company. If anyone knows of a reputable company to deal with, please let me know.
