Frequently Asked Questions
◇ Can you look up my mineral rights if I only have a parcel ID or legal description?
Yes. We can search mineral ownership using a parcel ID, survey name, abstract number, or legal description. A Parcel Lookup is great if you are interested in purchasing, or just purchased land and are wondering if you own any minerals.
◇ How do I know if I still own my mineral rights?
In Texas, minerals can be sold or reserved separately from the surface. Our 50 Year Lookback reviews past county records to see if your minerals were ever transferred.
◇ What's the difference between the 50 Year Lookback and a Full Report?
The 50 Year Lookback goes back 5 decades to provide a snapshot of current ownership. A Full Title Report traces ownership back as far as needed (sometimes to sovereignty) and includes all conveyances, leases, and reservations. The Full Title Report is the most comprehensive title search offered.
◇ How long does a mineral rights search take?
Most basic searches take 1-3 weeks. Full Title Reports or Heir Tracing may take longer depending on county records and complexity - approximately 4-8 weeks.
◇ How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the depth of the search. The more documents needed to be gathered, or complexity of the search, the higher the pricing. All pricing will start at the cost listed above and will not increase unless explicitly discussed.
◇ What if my minerals are co-owned with other family members?
Our reports will identify co-owners. If needed, we can also perform Heir Tracing to show how minerals passed through generations.
◇ Do I need this before leasing or selling my minerals?
Having a clear record of ownership protects you during negotiations. Buyers and operators want certainty about who owns the rights.
◇ Can you help clear up title issues?
Yes - our Curative Research service focuses on fixing gaps or errors in the record so ownership can be confirmed.
◇ What do I actually get in a report?
You'll receive a plain-English summary of findings plus copies of key courthouse documents we relied on, so you have proof of ownership history.
