Where Texas royalty accounts are mailed

25.3% of the Texas royalty-interest records on county mineral rolls with a usable mailing state are mailed outside Texas: 1,238,175 of 4,886,450, and Oklahoma leads with 190,922. These counts are stored county-roll records, not people, and a mailing address is where the county sends the notice, not where an owner lives.

Method

How we counted

  • The rolls. The newest county mineral appraisal roll we hold for each of 139 Texas counties: roll years 2024 to 2026, read from our database on November 2026, with no fall back to an older roll. Royalty-interest accounts only: the interest type is exactly royalty interest, so overriding royalty, working interest and other types are not counted.
  • A record is not a person. One row of a roll is one record. An owner with several interests has several records.
  • A usable mailing state is one of the 50 state codes or DC as the roll prints it. Blank, invalid, foreign, territory and military codes are unusable: they are left out of every share and are never counted as outside Texas. 140,490 records (2.8%) have no usable state. The check before publishing: 97.2% of records have one, above the 80% we require.
  • Left out of the counts. Placeholder owner lines (UNKNOWN, OWNER, EXEMPT and similar), lines that are only ESTATE, ESTATE OF, EST OF, HEIRS OF or DECEASED with no name, and any owner line that contains REAL ESTATE. They are removed from the records counted, not only from the shares.
  • Cities. The roll’s own label with punctuation tidied. Labels with digits or post office box text are left out, and the 200 cities with the most records are ranked by that count, not by population.
  • The 25-record floor. No cell under 25 records is published. A county is listed only when at least 25 of its records are mailed in Texas and at least 25 outside, and no small count of unusable states could be worked out from the rest. 22 of the 139 counties are not listed.
  • Totals only. No owner name and no street address is used or shown here.

FAQ

Questions about these counts

Which state outside Texas receives the most Texas royalty mail?

Oklahoma, with 190,922 royalty-interest records, then California (178,610) and Colorado (90,961). Together the 50 places outside Texas receive 1,238,175 records, 25.3% of the records with a usable mailing state.

Which city receives the most?

Dallas, with 361,070 records. The largest mailing city outside Texas is Tulsa, Oklahoma, with 55,174, 8th of all cities.

Does a mailing address mean the owner lives there?

No. It is where the county sends the tax notice. It can be a trust officer, a bank, a company, a family member, a post office box or a lawyer. These pages count where mail goes, not where an owner lives.

Is a record the same as an owner?

No. One record is one royalty interest on a county mineral roll. An owner with interests in three leases has three records, and a family can share one. Every number here counts records.

Why does a county not appear in the county table?

A county is listed only when at least 25 of its records are mailed in Texas and at least 25 are mailed outside Texas, and no small count of records with an unusable mailing state could be worked out from the rest. 22 of the 139 counties with royalty-interest records are not listed. Most of them are withheld because a small number of their records (1 to 24) have an unusable mailing state, and publishing the shares would let a reader subtract to that small count. It is a privacy rule, not a finding about the county.

Which counties and years are counted?

The newest mineral roll of each of 139 Texas counties whose roll we have loaded, roll years 2024 to 2026, with no fall back to an older roll. It is not a statewide count: the rolls of other counties are not loaded yet.

What is counted as a city?

The mailing city as the roll writes it, with its state. New York here is the label NEW YORK, NY alone; a borough or a suburb written under its own name is its own row, and a city the rolls spell two ways (FORT WORTH and FT WORTH) is two rows. We did not merge spellings by hand.

Can I quote or republish these numbers?

Yes. Quote any figure, table or sentence with a credit to Royalty Clerk and a link to this page. The credit line, a reference-list citation and the three CSV files are in the Cite section.
