Midland County Holds Both the Basin’s Business Center and Some of Its Most Drilled Sections
Midland County is unusual in the Permian because it is simultaneously the administrative capital of the basin and a heavily developed oil county in its own right. It has carried one of the highest rig counts in the Permian through 2026, and the Spraberry and Wolfcamp beneath it have been drilled repeatedly.
The city complicates the picture in a way that is specific to this county. A meaningful share of Midland County mineral ownership sits beneath developed land — neighborhoods, commercial property, the airport corridor — where surface use is committed to something other than drilling. Those minerals are still produced, but generally by long laterals reached from pads outside the developed area, which affects the timing and shape of the units rather than the ownership.
Because the county has been drilled through several cycles, mineral files here tend to be complicated. It is common to find an interest burdened by an old lease from a prior decade, subject to a newer horizontal unit, and split among heirs who have never met. Untangling that is a records exercise, and it has to happen before any credible number can be put on the interest.
We identify every unit and lease touching the tract, verify the decimal, and read the actual documents rather than relying on county averages. A cash offer turns that complexity into a single figure you control, with no obligation to accept.
What We Check on a Midland County Interest
- The instrument creating the interest and whether any prior owner reserved a royalty out of it.
- Chain of title and probate history in the Midland County Clerk’s records.
- Older leases still of record and whether they remain held by production.
- Each horizontal unit over the tract, its wells, vintage, production history and your decimal.
- Whether the surface is developed, and how that shapes pad location and unit design.
- Railroad Commission permits and completions indicating remaining development.
Where Midland County Mineral Records Are Kept
The Midland County Clerk holds deeds, leases, assignments, probate records and heirship affidavits. Permits, well records, completions and production data are maintained by the Railroad Commission of Texas. Where minerals lie beneath platted city property, the plat and easement records matter for surface access, though they do not change who owns the minerals.
Midland County, Texas Mineral Rights FAQs
Our minerals are under a neighborhood in Midland. Can they still be produced?
Yes. Long horizontal laterals are routinely drilled beneath developed property from pads located elsewhere. Development of the surface does not extinguish or reduce the minerals below it; it mainly determines where the well can be started from.
We own a royalty but were told we cannot sign a lease. Why?
You likely hold a non-participating royalty rather than a mineral interest. A non-participating royalty receives a share of production but carries no right to negotiate or execute a lease. It is still a real, sellable asset, just valued differently from minerals.
There is an old lease from decades ago still showing in the records. Does it still apply?
It might. An old lease can remain in force as long as it is held by production, sometimes covering only part of a tract or only certain depths depending on its retained-acreage language. We read the lease and check the production record rather than assuming it has expired.
How long does a sale take once we agree?
Typically a few weeks. Most of that time is title review and preparing the mineral deed. If probate or an heirship affidavit is required first, the timeline depends on that process, and we tell you early if it applies.

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.

Royalty proceeds unclaimed for more than three years are reported to the Texas Comptroller and searchable at ClaimItTexas.
