In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of) nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

I just recently found this site and I'm hoping to learn a little more before signing on the dotted line, but it seems like you're dinged if you do, and dinged if you don't. Offers have been slow for us too but I will pass on anything I hear.
I just sent email to XTO Energy to see if they have anyone in our area who is interested in making an offer. You might do the same.... http://www.xtoenergy.com/en/contact.html
We would like to go visit the area, but it is too hot this time of year. We're waiting until the Fall. We have part of the old Taylor Homestead hear Grove Hill Cemetery in Section 12.

Where in Texas are you located?
Keep in touch and if we receive another offer, I'll let you know.
