PROPOSED TAX ON UNPAID ROYALTIES

Anyone else getting "proposed tax due notices" from Texas counties (San Augustine) on undeclared, unpaid royalties from mineral rights?  Where do these guys get off notifying owners of mineral rights that we're gonna be liable for county, school & hosp district taxes that the county's unnamed/unsigned "Chief Appraiser" has declared based on his/her's calculated ESTIMATED royalty payments not even received? Is general goverment so outta control they can just TELL us what they think we ought to pay even if its unlawful or downright erroneous? Anyone interested in a class action suit if push comes to shove.  Safety in numbers can put govt in its place.

all producung minerals are classified as property therefore county appraisal district will place a value on  each well and like any property like your business, home, or any property you tax on your decimal value of each well by all -- school, county, junior colleges, hospital, city, or who every can tax you. The apprasied value will change each year due to depletion. The only tax on the amount of production is severance tax by the State. Mineral that produce income is taxed and has been for years. Non-producing minerals are not taxed.

Has there been any determination about whether it is legal for San Augustine to levy this tax?

Driving to the Tax Assessor's office is approx 620+ miles across 4 states.  Not exactly a hop, skip & jump.

I'm not in TX but if that happened here in Louisiana, I would go and sit down with the Tax Assessor and ask him/her to explain it to me.
