La Grange, Schulenburg, Flatonia: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Fayette County, in the Giddings Austin Chalk.
Fayette County was horizontal before horizontal was cool: the Giddings chalk wells of the 1990s run under La Grange, Flatonia and Schulenburg, and most of the mineral owners have a yellowed division order from a 1990s chalk operator in a drawer. Magnolia is now redrilling the chalk with longer laterals, which means those old interests are worth looking at again.
What produces here. Railroad Commission production for August 2026: 140,110 barrels of oil, 186,366 barrels of condensate, and about 3.0 million Mcf of gas (444,000 casinghead, 2.57 million gas well), most of it from Giddings (Austin Chalk-3) and Giddings (Austin Chalk, Gas), with Southern Bay (Eagle Ford) next. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Magnolia Oil and Gas (the dominant producer), FW Eagle Ford I, GeoSouthern Operating II, Verdun Oil and Gas, Rosewood Resources, Paleo Oil, MCA Petroleum, Redbud E and P, and John H. Young Inc. The Commission approved 33 new drilling permits in 2026 through November 7, 32 of them horizontal: Magnolia 14, Rosewood 7 (its Flatonia North A and B wells), Flat Land Oil and Gas 4, Tidal Petroleum 3, Sage Natural Resources 2, and Verdun 2, with Magnolia's Tex One and Kyle pads approved September 21 and Flat Land's four units approved in early October.
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.
The fractured chalk that was drilled horizontally across the Giddings field in the 1990s and that Magnolia is redrilling with modern laterals; it produces more gas and condensate than oil in Fayette County.
The Eagle Ford underneath the chalk, thin here but drilled, with a second set of operators.
Rocky Creek and Reuter (Edwards) and the Wilcox fields: deep vertical gas that predates the chalk.
