Railroad Commission Production Data Query

A family name on a lease is where an heir starts

The name shows whose land it was when the lease was signed, often decades ago. It does not show who owns the minerals today: that is in the county clerk’s deed records and on the appraisal district’s mineral roll. When an owner dies, the company that pays usually holds the checks until the heirs show who inherited.

If someone in your family owned minerals in Carson County, the estate report searches the county appraisal rolls by their name, adds up what each interest earned from the state’s records, splits it among the heirs and writes a letter to each company that pays. Searching the name is free; the full report is $199 once.

FAQ

Questions about Carson County estate leases

Does an estate lease in Carson County mean the estate still owns the minerals?

No. The lease name is what the operator filed with the Railroad Commission, usually when the lease was signed, and it names whose land it was then. Who owns the minerals now is in the county clerk's deed records and on the appraisal district's mineral roll.

Why is a lease I know in Carson County not listed?

This list holds the Carson County leases with twelve or more months of production since January 2020 whose name has the word ESTATE, HEIRS or TRUST. A lease that stopped before 2020 has no page; the 5 of them with the most production are named below with their district and lease number. The county's full lease list has every lease with a page.

Every lease in Carson County

What does the first year mean?

The first year the lease shows in the state's monthly production records, which begin in January 1993. A lease shown since 1993 was already producing then, and may be much older.
