NechesLand acquires oil and gas leases on behalf of natural gas production in the Haynesville Shale and Deep Bossier formations across Leon, Freestone, Anderson, and Robertson counties.
A landman is the professional who researches mineral title in public records, finds the rightful owners of oil and gas interests, and negotiates the leases that let those interests produce. The role has existed in Texas since the first East Texas boom in the 1920s.
At NechesLand we work as principal — meaning when we present a lease offer, we are ourselves the lessee. We’re not a broker shopping your minerals to an unnamed third party. We focus tightly on four East Texas counties so we know the courthouses, the families, and the landscape.
We negotiate and acquire oil and gas leases directly from mineral owners and their heirs. Standard Texas form leases. Bonus paid up front; royalties on production.
We pull deeds, probate, and tax records county-by-county to establish chain of title. Our cost, not yours — whether or not the records lead to a lease.
We resolve gaps in title — missing heirs, unrecorded deeds, old probates — through affidavits of heirship, stipulations, and corrective filings recorded in the proper county.
We work tightly within Leon, Freestone, Anderson, and Robertson counties — the East Texas crescent where the Haynesville and Deep Bossier formations meet the surface watershed of the Neches and Trinity rivers.
Tell us a little about a relative you think may have owned land or minerals in one of these four counties. We’ll research the title at no cost and let you know what we find. If the records confirm an interest, we may follow up with a written lease offer.
No fees. No obligation. Nothing to sign.
