Mineral Rights in Texas

Do you own the mineral rights to the property you currently own? It depends. Mineral go with the land being conveyed unless the minerals or an interest therein, were previously severed. The mineral estate is known as the dominant estate in land, meaning the owner of the minerals has the right to come on to the land and take the minerals.

If are going to purchase or sell a property were mineral rights come into play you may want to ask for “Information About Mineral Clauses in Contract Forms” (TAR 2509).

This form gives the basics about mineral rights.
