The short answer

This site is a dated, sourced record of published law and public data, and it is not legal advice and not advice about your specific tract. Mineral title turns on the wording of the instruments in your own chain of title, and no page here has seen them. Use the record to know what to look for and what the law says, then have a title examiner or an attorney read your documents.

Checked against the sources named below on July 29, 2026.

What you can rely on

That every claim here was checked against the source named beside it on the date shown, and that the quotations are verbatim from the copy linked. That is a real commitment and the build enforces it mechanically.

What you cannot rely on

That the law has not changed since the date on the page. That the source itself is free of error. That a rule stated generally applies to your tract, your deed, your lease, or your family's situation. Statutes are amended, agencies renumber their rules, and courts distinguish cases on facts. The date on the page is there precisely so you can judge how much weight it carries.

No relationship is created

Reading this site, subscribing to the briefing, or asking to be introduced to a buyer creates no attorney and client relationship and no fiduciary duty of any kind. Nobody here is representing your interests in a transaction.

Introductions to buyers

An introduction is an introduction. This site does not appraise your minerals, does not negotiate for you, does not receive your offer, and takes no position on whether you should accept one. The terms of every introduction are on the buyers page.

Errors

If a page is wrong, the correction route on the corrections page is the fastest way to fix it, and corrections are dated and kept. To the extent the law allows, this site is provided as is and without warranty, and its maintainers are not liable for decisions taken on the basis of it.
