Howard County Anchors the Eastern Side of the Midland Basin
Howard County, with Big Spring at its centre, sits on the eastern edge of the Midland Basin and has been one of the more heavily redeveloped counties in the Permian. Horizontal work here has concentrated on the Lower Spraberry and Wolfcamp A, with additional development in the Middle Spraberry, Jo Mill and deeper Wolfcamp benches.
The county is closely associated with HighPeak Energy, which built a contiguous position of more than 140,000 net acres across two core areas — Flat Top in northern Howard County extending into Borden, Scurry and Mitchell, and Signal Peak in southern Howard. A single dominant operator changes the practical experience of owning minerals: development tends to arrive as a program rather than as scattered one-off wells.
Howard County also carries a long shallow production history that predates horizontal drilling. Old leases and old wells still appear in the records, and it is common to find a modern horizontal unit layered over acreage that was first leased generations ago. Which of those older instruments is still in force is a question that has to be answered from the documents.
We read the leases, confirm the units and check the well history before pricing an interest. A cash offer converts current income plus uncertain future development into one amount you control, and there is no obligation to accept.
What We Check on a Howard County Interest
- Chain of title and probate history in the Howard County Clerk’s records at Big Spring.
- Older shallow leases still of record, and whether they remain held by production.
- Which benches — Lower Spraberry, Wolfcamp A, Jo Mill and others — have been developed under the tract.
- Each unit over the acreage, its wells, completion dates, production history and your decimal.
- Lease royalty, post-production deductions, retained acreage and continuous-development terms.
- Current Railroad Commission permits indicating further program development.
Where Howard County Mineral Records Are Kept
The Howard County Clerk in Big Spring holds deeds, leases, assignments, probate filings and heirship affidavits. Permits, completions, well records and production data are maintained by the Railroad Commission of Texas. Because Howard County has both a shallow legacy and a modern horizontal history, the two record sets frequently describe the same acreage in very different terms.
Howard County, Texas Mineral Rights FAQs
One operator seems to control everything around us. Is that good or bad for us?
It is mostly neutral, with one practical advantage: a single operator running a continuous program makes future development easier to anticipate than a patchwork of small operators. It does not change your ownership or your royalty terms, which come from your lease.
What is the Jo Mill?
It is one of the intervals within the broader Spraberry section that operators in this part of the basin have developed separately. It matters to an owner because development of an additional interval can create a new unit and a new decimal over land that has already been drilled.
There is a lease from the 1950s in our county file. Is it still alive?
Possibly, if it has been continuously held by production, though it may now cover only part of the original acreage or only certain depths. We check the lease language against the actual production record instead of assuming it lapsed.
Can we sell part of our interest?
Yes. Many owners sell a portion for cash now and keep the balance for future development. We will make an offer on whatever share you want to sell.
Get a Free, No-Obligation Offer
Send a legal description, a check stub or a division order. We will identify the leases and units affecting the tract, review what has been developed, and provide a written cash offer when the interest is marketable.
Records and Sources We Use
We use deed, lease, probate and assignment records filed with the County Clerk, and permit, well, completion and production records from the Railroad Commission of Texas, including its public GIS map viewer. The Commission also publishes a royalties FAQ explaining what it does and does not regulate. Royalty proceeds unclaimed for more than three years are reported to the Texas Comptroller and searchable at ClaimItTexas.
