The Railroad Commission issued 28 drilling permits in Taylor County in the twelve months to October 26, 2026, and recorded 6 completions and 0 first-production reports. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

How do I get an alert when a permit is issued near my land in Taylor County?

When is my first royalty check due after a new well?

Natural Resources Code section 91.402(a) says on or before 120 days after the end of the month of first sale of production from the well. The state's first-production month is the closest public marker, so the date on this page is the earliest, not a certainty.
