Transcript of “Is your royalty check right?”

Is your royalty check right?

Once a month, a royalty check arrives in the mail. You cash it. You trust it. But is it right? So we do what a careful bookkeeper would do. We read every line, with a red pen. The decimal. The barrels of oil. The price you were paid. The fees taken out. This is a real lease in Midland County, Texas, with a sample owner.

Your lease in the state's own records

Then we look up your lease in the state's own records. Every Texas lease reports its oil sales to the state each month. Multiply that by your share, and you know what you should have been paid. For February, the state says this owner's share was 12.93 barrels. The stub says 11.89.

Four findings

That's eight percent short, four months in a row. About $285. Next, the price. For three months, the price paid fell far behind the West Texas benchmark. That's $766. Then the big one. January 2025 was never paid at all. The state shows 28,175 barrels sold, right when the operator changed. That's about $2,277. And one worth asking about. The gas now goes to a pipeline, but every statement still takes a processing fee. That's $552, worth a question.

Adding it up

Add it up, and this owner is likely owed $3,328. Plus $579 worth asking about. A sample owner, on a real lease.

What you get, and how to start

You get every finding in plain English, with the numbers from both sides. A letter you can send, with the exact question to ask. A PDF report to keep. And when everything is right, we tell you that too. Try your first check free. Send us your stub at royaltyclerk.com.

Questions owners ask

Something else? Read how to read a check stub or run the sample check.
Do you take a share of what I recover?
No. You pay the price on this page and keep everything you recover. We are paid by owners only. No operator, buyer or landman pays us, and we do not sell your data.
What is free?
Every public page, all the calculators and guides, the Texas well map, and one full check a year. The free check shows your likely-owed total and every finding with its amount; the first finding is open in full. When what we find adds up to less than $30, the letters and the report are free too. A free account also keeps every lease you own in My leases and tracks one of them.
What does Royalty Watch do?
It tracks every lease you claim and checks every statement you add, every month, against the state’s production and price records and the Texas payment deadlines. When something is off, we email you the same day (or once a week, if you prefer): a late or skipped payment, a changed decimal, a new deduction, a new operator, a well that stopped. Everything sold one at a time under Single items is included for your own leases.
How do I cancel? Can I get my money back?
Cancel online in two clicks: open your account and choose Manage billing. Royalty Watch stays on until the end of the year you paid for, and we email you 30 days before it renews. Changed your mind? Write to support@royaltyclerk.com within 30 days of a Royalty Watch or Watch Plus payment and we refund it in full.
What do you do with my statements?
We blank out tax ID numbers in PDFs before a page is read, then read the statement, compare it with Railroad Commission records and show you the result. Your files stay private to you and you can delete them at any time from your account.
Who is the estate report for?
Heirs, executors and estate lawyers. It is a one-time $199, with no subscription. It finds the mineral interests in the person’s name, works out each heir’s share, audits the statements you have and writes the letters to notify each payor.
Single items

Each is sold on the page where you need it, paid once, for one check, one lease, one offer or one tax year.
