My family has been contacted by a landman representing Big Lake to lease for $250/acre and 1/5 royalty.  I am a TX oil and gas attorney, but am not familiar with Big Lake and haven't checked the bonus rates recently since I have read about HOT activity in Vernon lately.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  You can also email me at kcaserta@wilsonlawfirm.com

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
