The free royalty check

Two wells crossing this tract are producing and the owner is not on their pay deck. That is the question we go ask the operator. Open this plat →
An operator must hold royalties when the title is unclear, the address is bad, or an heir has not proven up. Texas lets it sit — in suspense, earning the operator interest — until someone cures the reason. After the dormancy period it is reported to the Comptroller, where recovering it is slower and the fees anyone may charge are capped. We go after it while it is still at the operator.
