Educate Yourself About Your Rights! The Draconian Application of Statute of Limitations in Texas

I wanted to let Texas royalty owners know the importance of educating yourself about what your rights are as mineral owners.  Your rights can be taken away if you are not proactive to protect them.  I've attached an article I co-authored almost two years ago discussing how the Texas Court system has eroded royalty owner rights over the past 12 years via a draconian application of applicable statutes of limitations. (Limitations are known as "prescription periods" in Louisiana, and the need…

Primer on Texas Oil & Gas Law

I am an oil and gas lawyer in Houston with roots in East Texas.  I was born and raised in Jasper, Texas and have family ties still in the area.  I have been an oil and gas lawyer for ten years.  I started out representing operators, but have since devoted myself to representing landowners and doing my part to educate the masses on their legal rights.  I've started with educating my own family.  We own acreage in East Texas and South Texas, but I was surprised to learn that nobody had a clue…

Ben, my grandfather has mineral rights in Shelby COunty in the 30's, those were passed to my mother and siblings upon his death, and upon my mothers death were passed to us. all our lives my mother always reminded us to never forget those minerals. my Grandfather leased them out, the my mother leased them out, the my siblings and I leased them out, I have paper work to back this up, then when they put a well on the land, we were informed we did not own them. the last time we leased them out was 3 years ago. We do not know what to do, should be taken them to court. Cabot Oil is the one telling us to back off. Betty
