Reagan County Is Where Permian Royalties Began
The Santa Rita No. 1 came in near Big Lake in Reagan County in May 1923 and effectively opened the Permian Basin. The first royalty payment from that well, recorded that August, came to $516.63 and went to the Permanent University Fund. More than a century later the county is still producing, now through horizontal Spraberry and Wolfcamp development, with a rig count in the low teens through 2026.
That history left a distinctive ownership pattern. The University of Texas System manages roughly 2.1 million acres of surface and mineral interests across nineteen West Texas counties for the Permanent University Fund, and Reagan County is one of them. Those minerals are institutional and not for sale, so privately held fee minerals here sit alongside a large block of acreage that will never come to market.
For a private owner, the effect is on scarcity rather than on how a well is drilled. Fee mineral tracts in and around the institutional acreage are comparatively limited in supply, and buyers price them with that in mind. What does not change is the need to confirm exactly which unit your acreage sits in and what your decimal actually is.
We check the unit plats, the lease terms and the production record before making an offer. A cash sale converts a long-tailed royalty into one amount today, with no obligation to accept.
What We Check on a Reagan County Interest
- Whether the tract is privately held fee minerals, and how it relates to nearby University Lands acreage.
- Chain of title and probate history in the Reagan County Clerk’s records at Big Lake.
- Unit boundaries and the portion of your tract inside each producing unit.
- Spraberry and Wolfcamp wells, vintage, production history and remaining bench potential.
- Very old instruments and reservations dating to the early decades of county production.
- Lease royalty, deduction language, retained acreage and depth terms.
Where Reagan County Mineral Records Are Kept
The Reagan County Clerk in Big Lake maintains deeds, leases, assignments, probate filings and heirship affidavits, including instruments going back to the earliest years of Permian production. Permits, completions, well records and production data are held by the Railroad Commission of Texas.
Reagan County, Texas Mineral Rights FAQs
Our family reservation dates back to the 1920s. Is it still valid?
Very possibly. Texas has no dormant mineral statute, so an old reservation does not lapse from disuse. What usually needs attention is the record chain since then — deaths, transfers and probates — rather than the validity of the original reservation.
What is University Lands and does it affect our tract?
University Lands manages surface and mineral interests across roughly 2.1 million acres in nineteen West Texas counties, including Reagan, for the Permanent University Fund. Those minerals are not privately owned. If your tract is fee minerals it is unaffected in how it is developed, though the surrounding institutional acreage does make private minerals scarcer.
Our decimal seems small relative to our acreage. Why?
Your decimal is your mineral acres inside the unit, divided by total unit acreage, multiplied by the royalty rate. Long horizontal units cover substantial ground, so a real position can still yield a small decimal. We verify the calculation against the unit plat and the division order.
Do you buy non-producing minerals here?
Yes. We buy unleased and undeveloped minerals as well as producing royalties. Valuation then depends on the section, nearby permitting and development trend rather than on current income.

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