What you get

Instead of digging through permit filings and county mineral rolls yourself, you get the owners tied to the newest drilling activity in one file.

For each matched permit:

Individuals, families, and trusts are separated from companies, and the mail list has one row per recipient with every address field present, so the file is ready for your mail merge.

Why the permit matters

A new drilling permit is one of the earliest public signs that activity is moving onto a tract.

By the time production starts, everyone knows.

Texas Mineral Radar gives you the owners already on record while the permit is still new.

Where the names come from

We start with the newest Railroad Commission drilling permits. A horizontal well starts on one tract and ends on another, so we take the tract where the lateral ends from the permit's own W-1H, add the section it starts on when the operator put that section in the lease name, then find the mineral owners already listed on the county's mineral roll for those tracts.

For every match, the file shows the permit, operator, owner, mailing address, the tract, the recorded interest with its account, and the appraised value.

Owners on a surface pad that the lateral leaves and the lease does not name go to a research tab, not the mail list. If the development tract has no producing interest on the county roll, we say so instead of pretending we found an owner.

Ownership reflects the latest certified county roll and may not include very recent transfers. This is a prospecting file, not a title opinion.

Delivered every Monday

One workbook and a mail-list CSV covering the prior week's new permits across Martin, Midland, Howard, Glasscock, Upton, Andrews, Ector counties, with a What's new tab against what you already received.

No searching county records. No stitching permit filings to mineral rolls. No cleaning mailing addresses.

This report compiles and structures publicly available oil & gas records from the Railroad Commission of Texas — drilling permits, completions, well status, and lease production. We monitor development activity and public filings near a location you tell us about; we do NOT determine mineral ownership, confirm what you own, or provide legal, tax, or investment advice. Nothing here replaces a title opinion, a landman, or reading the official RRC filing. Activity is mapped to the locations the operator filed with the RRC: the permit surface location (NAD27, precision disclaimed by the RRC) and, for horizontal permits in owner files, the W-1H terminus tract. Neither is a title-verified mineral tract. Data is current only as of the source vintage shown on the page. Our total liability for any report is capped at the amount you paid for it. Found an error? Reply to any email and a human will correct it.
