does the lease say which surveys the 862 acres is in? or give any detail of legal description of the acreage?

This is what I see on the bonus check
862acres of land more or less,out of the Williams Clark,A-83, John Howard, A-130,J .A. Brooks, A-65 & E.P. Richie,A-238

I think this is what you refered to, looks like a land description to me

Best info on location is to ask the landsman who desires to lease your minerals to give you copy of map that shows where you parcel is located in the survey that matches the legal discription of the land. Ask for copy of run sheet (This is title run of minerals as it change hands thru the years with infomation on # net minerals acres you have as it was split up in Wills of your heirs) Then to get complete info of contingency property around you and what's going on re: drilling, wells in production,etc then go to RRC of Texas web site and look at GIS Map viewer.

the net is showing 17.454 acres..but these are divided up among 4 parcels but the net maybe per value to each tract some higher some lower.the way I calculate it is about 2% of the total 862 acres. So if they do drill on the 862 acres will I recieve a royalty if anything is produced? I got 1000.00 per acre and 1/4 royality. I guess that seemed fair.

Some very important news to share : (1) how long was your lease for? - (& can they renew the lease for an additional --- years -) and (2) Who did you lease to? - (should be right after your name on the 1st page -- "Lessee").

THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! Also, I thought I had a deal in extreem S. Shelby Co. w/ Petrohawk & they just disappeared. Anybody else?

where + San Agustine..check above I posted tracts as to where..still not sure of exact location with in county ,,but I am getting a feeling it is some where close to Shelby county border..I could be wrong.. I signed and returned lease papers on 02/01/2010..I once went to San Agustine to do a little family history search and a local refered me to an area called McDonald hill..being unfamiliar with area .Idid not find it but I think it was north of City of San Augustine..My mother was a McDonald, My grand-father was William McDonald born in San Augustine in early 1900's, He and my grand-mother divorced in 1934, and I never got to know him nor that side of family.
