Understanding the division of surface and mineral estates
Land ownership under the Texas law includes two different sets of estates (rights), the surface estate and the mineral estate. Although surface landowners usually own the minerals found underneath their properties, several areas in Texas have surface estates and mineral estates divided. This division, or ‘severance,’ allows both the surface and the mineral rights to be separately owned by different people or entities.
In Texas, areas with a record of extensive mineral and oil development are oftentimes the areas where surface and mineral rights are severed. It is important to determine whether you own a property in which the mineral right is separated from the surface right by consulting a knowledgeable professional adept in understanding and interpreting laws surrounding surface and mineral rights ownership.
Knowing that you own the mineral underneath the property you possess provides you the chance to sell your mineral right to prospected buyers. However, selling your mineral right can be risky and complicated without the help of our experienced mineral rights brokers from The Mineral Auction.

The Mineral Auction provided me with an invaluable exit strategy when selling a mineral interest that one of my clients had. I’d recommend them to anyone who has the need to create some liquidity.
Blake is excellent. We have used him in numerous family issues and find him always direct and very helpful. He is incredibly informed and our go-to guy.
Blake and I have worked on several deals together and they have always gone off without a hitch. Both parties leave the table satisfied. Highly recommended!
Blake hit it out of the park! He did everything he said he would do, and then some. He far exceeded our expectations within a day! If you are concerned about paying commission or being restricted to a broker – don’t be. He will max out the value of your minerals. I tried to negotiate with several buyers on my own and didn’t come within the same universe.
Blake Bergstrom helped my family negotiate the sale of our mineral rights for our small ranch outside of San Antonio. I found Blake to be very knowledgable about whole process and took the time to answer all our questions. We were very satisified with the transaction and have already recommended Blake and The Mineral Auction to some our friends. Thanks again.
I have mineral rights to natural gas and Blake was excellent in his advice regarding my situation. Thanks a lot for your help!
