Weighing an offer to sell your Austin County minerals?

Buyers make unsolicited offers on mineral rights constantly, and the activity on record here is the context that tells you whether an offer is well-timed. Austin County has 3 new drilling permits in the last year, 107 producing wells, 2 horizontal permits and 4 active operators on record. New drilling — especially horizontal wells that can drain a tract from a mile away — is what moves both a mineral tract's value and your leverage in a sale. This page shows that activity free; watching the county tells you the moment it changes, so an offer never lands before you know what's driving it.

This is public Railroad Commission activity — the same data a mineral buyer looks at, in your hands. It is not an appraisal, and not a record of who owns the minerals.

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 operator-filed permit surface location (NAD27, precision disclaimed by the RRC), not your 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.
