What are the coordinates on this page?

Is drilling near Edcouch picking up or slowing down?

The state issued no drilling permit with a well location within 10 miles of Edcouch in the last two years. The nearest one is 14 miles west of town, issued June 5, 2025. A permit is permission to drill, not a well.

The 14 producing leases with a well within 10 miles sold about $1.6 million of oil and gas in their newest 12 months on file, at the public monthly prices and before taxes and costs.

A relative owned minerals near Edcouch and has died. What now?

The county mineral roll still lists 64 accounts in the name of an estate on leases near Edcouch. Search the family name first. If an account turns up, the title usually has to be moved to the heirs before the operator will pay them.
