Don’t see your relative’s name in the lease title?

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 Grayson 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.
Not legal advice. Who inherits is for the will, or Texas law when there is none. How an affidavit of heirship works.
FAQ
Questions about Grayson County estate leases
Does an estate lease in Grayson 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 Grayson County not listed?
This list holds the Grayson 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 7 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.
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.
