Cotton Valley, Travis Peak, and a century of conventional oil: the quiet money of Texas minerals.
East Texas has produced since the 1930s discovery that made the region famous, and its stacked conventional zones still pay royalties across dozens of counties. Interests here are often family fractions from generations back, exactly the kind of quiet, unglamorous value that mass buyers ignore and we price seriously.
Whatever you own, producing royalties, non-producing acreage, or an inherited fraction, we will identify it from whatever paperwork exists, value it off the actual wells and activity, and show you the reasoning with the offer. Free, no obligation, and if keeping it is the right answer, we will say so.

Statewide totals for East Texas. Source: Enverus, as of 2026-11-02. Rigs are currently active; permits are those approved in the last 90 days; completions are wells reporting first production in the last 90 days, which lags reporting by state. Activity like this moves mineral value. If it is happening near you, find out what your interest is worth before you take anyone's offer.
