  1. Search the family name

    Type the name from an old check stub, a deed or the will. We search every county roll we hold and the state's records.

    Search a name

  2. See why the checks stopped

    Checks stop when a lease stops, when the operator changes, or when an account goes into suspense. See which one the state's records point to.

    Check this lease

  3. Value an inherited share

    A relative owned a share? See what it earned after they died, month by month, from the state's records.

    Start with the estate

  4. Hear if it starts again

    Stopped leases are sometimes reworked or taken over by a new operator. Get an email when this one reports again.

    Email me if it restarts

Other leases named Foster E

3 leases share this name in district 08. The Railroad Commission gives each gas well its own number and each oil lease another, so one unit often shows up as several of these.

Other Foster leases in Ector County

8 leases in Ector County in the same field or with the same operator carry the Foster name. Operators often name the leases on one family's land alike, with a letter or unit number after the name. Sharing a name proves no tie: your division order says which ones pay you.
