Palo Pinto, Mineral Wells, Graford: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Palo Pinto County, Marble Falls, Strawn, and the Barnett's western edge. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Palo Pinto County is the Barnett's western edge, which in practice means the Barnett mostly is not here: a few Newark East horizontals near the Parker County line and then Marble Falls, Bend conglomerate, and Strawn wells all the way to Possum Kingdom. About 150 operators share 2,700 barrels and 230,000 Mcf a month, which tells you the wells are small and the checks are smaller. Mineral Wells has the hotel; Palo Pinto has the courthouse and the deed records. **What produces here.** Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 5,052 barrels of oil, 1,129 barrels of condensate, and about 260,000 Mcf of gas (28,000 casinghead, 232,000 gas well), with August partially reported at 2,694 barrels and 230,000 Mcf; 292 fields and 153 operators report. Mallory (Strawn), Palo Pinto County Regular, and KRS (Marble Falls) lead the oil; Newark East (Barnett Shale), Burns-Dalton (Marble Falls), Palo Pinto County Regular (Gas), Scatter (Bend), and KRS (Marble Falls) lead the gas. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Texxol Operating, Stephens and Johnson Operating, Incendium Resources, EagleRidge Operating (the Barnett wells), Upham Oil and Gas, FX Energy Operating, Braka Operating, Antle Operating, and Tarpon Oil and Gas. New drilling has all but stopped: the Commission approved a single new permit in 2026 through November 7, G and F Oil's Coffee Group K.L. Bridges 9 at 1,800 feet. 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?

Formations & Plays ## What produces here ### Marble Falls and Bend conglomerate gas KRS, Burns-Dalton and Strawn Northwest (Marble Falls) and Scatter (Bend): the shallow gas that makes most of the county's volume, from hundreds of small vertical wells. ### Strawn oil Mallory (Strawn), Wagnon (Strawn Granny Sand), and the Palo Pinto County Regular field: small stripper oil fields that have paid tiny royalties for decades. ### Newark East (Barnett Shale) The far western edge of the Barnett, a handful of horizontal gas wells that never grew into the play Fort Worth got.

It depends on which of the county's nearly 300 fields your tract is in, how many heirs share it, and your decimal. Palo Pinto County has about 150 operators and almost no new drilling, with a single shallow permit in 2026, so this is a county of small, old, divided royalties that most buyers do not bother to price correctly. We value off the actual wells and show the work, free. A deed in my chain reserved half the minerals. Do I own what I think I own? Maybe not, and that is a Texas-specific trap. Under the Duhig rule, a grantor who reserves minerals but warrants more than they actually hold loses the reservation to the extent of the shortfall. Old reservations are routinely overstated for this reason, and we read the deeds before we quote a number so the offer matches what you can actually convey. Can I be force-pooled in Texas? Not the way Oklahoma or Louisiana owners are. Texas has no general forced pooling; the Mineral Interest Pooling Act is narrow and rarely used. Your tract joins a unit because you or a prior owner signed a lease with a pooling clause or a ratification, so the lease language, not a commission order, decides what you are owed. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs. The offer you accept is the amount you receive. ## Before you sign anything in Palo Pinto County The things owners here most often wish they had read first.
