Surface rights versus Mineral Rights
Based on the Texas law, a mineral right and a surface right are two separate things. For instance, one person can own a property’s surface rights while its mineral resources can be owned by another person. We listed the common characteristics of the surface estate and mineral estate to shed you some light on the difference between the two:Surface rights• An ownership rights to the exterior part of the land.• This includes the entire surface of the land, water, and other elements below it except its mineral resources. Mineral rights• This provides the owner the right to exploit, mine, and produce all the minerals below the surface of the property. • Mineral rights owners can extract all types of resources such as oil, gas, ores, metals, and other raw materials from the property.Owners who are planning to sell or lease their mineral rights in Austin can take advantage of the services at 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!
