July Introduction

Aren’t we lucky to be living in Texas?  The rest of the country is in a recession but Texas, and especially Tarrant County is doing well.  A big part of the reason for that is the Barnett Shale Gas project.  In our area, employment directly and indirectly related to the Barnett is booming.

 If you are one of the lucky people being contacted by one of the drilling companies about a lease and you have questions, such as:·        

• I have received a bonus – can I now sell my mineral rights to a buyer?  What about the bonus?
• How do I know if I own the mineral rights to my property?
• Can a well be placed on my property, or on my neighbor’s property?

Give me a call – I can help with the answers.
