Pearsall, Dilley, Bigfoot: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Frio County, in the Eagle Ford and the old Pearsall trend.
Frio County is where the Eagle Ford starts to thin and the older Pearsall trend takes over, and it has had three or four waves of drilling since the 1980s. The current one belongs to Formentera, which permitted more wells here in 2026 than every other operator combined. The royalty owners are peanut and watermelon families around Pearsall and Dilley, and their heirs.
What produces here. Railroad Commission production for August 2026: 466,993 barrels of oil, 56,197 barrels of condensate, and about 1.0 million Mcf of gas (796,000 casinghead, 204,000 gas well), led by Briscoe Ranch (Eagleford), then Eagleville (Eagle Ford-1), Indio Tanks (Pearsall), and Pearsall (Austin Chalk). The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Javelin Energy Partners, Formentera Operations, Trinity Operating (USG), Rosewood Resources, Trailblazer Energy Resources, EXCO Operating, U.S. Energy Development, and Ageron Energy. The Commission approved 60 new drilling permits in 2026 through November 7, 45 of them horizontal: Formentera 32, Rosewood 11, Central Gulf Petroleum 8 (shallow wells), and Texas American Resources 5, with Formentera's Empire, Julian and Sendero units and Texas American's Treaty Oak well approved in the first week of November.
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.
