Palestine, Elkhart, Frankston: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Anderson County, legacy Woodbine and shallow oil around Palestine.
Anderson County is Palestine and about a hundred small oil and gas fields that were found between the 1930s and the 1960s and never got big. Cayuga, Neches, Long Lake, Slocum: the names are still on checks, the wells are strippers, and shallow wells of about 700 feet are still being permitted. One deep permit in 2026, Expand Energy's Lavinski at 18,600 feet, is the only hint of anything new.
What produces here. Railroad Commission production for August 2026: 26,733 barrels of oil, 1,177 barrels of condensate, and about 107,000 Mcf of gas (24,000 casinghead, 83,000 gas well), spread across 103 fields and 60 operators. Long Lake, Camp Hill, Neches (Woodbine), Slocum, and Cayuga lead the oil; Bethel (Pettit), Cayuga (Trinity), Fairway (James Lime), and Cayuga (Pettit) lead the gas. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include John Linder Operating, McGowan Working Partners, JLA Resources, Peles, Trueblood Resources, Tower Resources, Rose City Resources, Highmark Energy, Stroud Petroleum, and Ventex Operating. The Commission approved 13 new drilling permits in 2026 through November 7, only 2 of them horizontal: mostly shallow Camp Hill-type wells from Trueblood Resources (Fitzgerald, 670 feet) and Tsar Energy (Thompson, 710 feet), plus Expand Operating's Lavinski at 18,600 feet, Performance Operating Partners' Edens-Bowyer allocation well, and Jamex's Saunders 1H approved November 3.
Whatever you own here, producing royalties, non-producing acreage, or an inherited fraction split among family, we will identify it from whatever paperwork you have, value it off the actual wells and activity, and show you the reasoning with the offer. Free, no obligation, and no pressure: if keeping it is the right answer, we will say so. Inherited it? Start with inherited mineral rights in Texas.
