The ringed dot is this lease's well, where the Railroad Commission's map puts it. The other dots are wells and drilling permits of the last 24 months on the land around it; the counts are for everything in the picture, which is about 6 miles across. The thin brown lines are the original land surveys; where there is room, a survey carries its abstract number, the number deeds and division orders cite.

2 leases share this name in district 7B. 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.

From the state record

What owners ask about Ruby

When is the check for August 2026 due?
August 2026 is the newest month the state has posted for this lease. Texas law gives the payor until 60 days after the end of the sale month for oil and 90 for gas: the gas by Nov 29, 2026, unless the lease sets another time.
Source: Railroad Commission production reports; Texas Natural Resources Code §91.402.
See your next three checks
Which Texas production tax rate applies?
The Texas Comptroller lists low producing wells for this lease, from Jan 1, 2010. Its file does not give the rate, so we compare your stub with the full 7.5%. That is for August 2026.
Source: Texas Comptroller, approved severance tax exemptions.
Check the tax on your stub
Who buys the oil and gas?
Gas from gas wells: Colt G & P (North Texas) L.p. buys it; Colt Gathering (North Texas)l.p. gathers it. The buyer's price is what a royalty check is figured on.
Source: Railroad Commission Form P-4, gatherers and purchasers.
See every buyer and past buyers
How many 1099s should an owner expect for 2025?
One company, Petex, filed this lease's reports behind every 2025 check, so most owners get one form. The operator is not always the company that pays, so go by the name on the stubs.
