Giddings, Lexington, Dime Box: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Lee County, in the Giddings Austin Chalk and Eagle Ford.
Lee County gave the Giddings field its name, and the field gave Lee County the chalk boom of the 1970s and 1980s that drilled what seems like every farm between Giddings and Dime Box. Those wells mostly died, the leases mostly held, and a second generation of operators, Sage Natural Resources, Magnolia, Crescent Pass, is now drilling the Eagle Ford and the chalk again with modern laterals. The old division orders in the family files are the starting point, not the answer.
What produces here. Railroad Commission production for August 2026: 402,524 barrels of oil, 5,580 barrels of condensate, and about 648,000 Mcf of gas (565,000 casinghead, 83,000 gas well), from Giddings (Eagleford), Giddings (Austin Chalk-3), and Southern Bay (Eagle Ford), with the Navarro and Taylor sand fields a small remainder. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Sage Natural Resources (the largest oil producer), Magnolia Oil and Gas (the largest gas producer), Crescent Pass Energy, EOG Resources, WildFire Energy Operating (now part of Magnolia), Paleo Oil, Ironbloom Operating, and Leexus Oil, 60 operators in all. The Commission approved 19 new horizontal drilling permits in 2026 through November 7: Sage 14 (the Woodrow, Blue Duck, Albert Luecke, Jasper, Newt, Pedro and Weaver Eagle Ford units), Magnolia 3 (Pistol Pete and Buck Travis), and WildFire 2 (Laguna A and B), with Sage's Weaver EF 1H and 2H approved October 29.
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.
