Lease offers are made in writing, by mail, on standard Texas lease forms. The target reservoirs are the Haynesville Shale and Deep Bossier natural gas formations.

2. **Full-service land brokerage** (TX · LA · OK · NM) - we staff and manage land projects end to end for operators, producers, and mineral companies. Pre-vetted title across all 11 East Texas focus counties means leasing and curative work begin on day one, not after a 90-day kickoff.

  - Rusk County was organized in 1843 from Nacogdoches County and named for Thomas Jefferson Rusk, commander at San Jacinto and Chief Justice of the Republic of Texas. The county seat at Henderson, named for Texas Governor James Pinckney Henderson, has preserved the county’s deed and probate records since 1843.
  - The 1928 Rusk County Courthouse in downtown Henderson houses one of the densest mineral title archives in Texas, recording early Mexican and Republic headrights, 1930s fractional royalty deeds, and modern horizontal pooled units.

  - Trinity County was organized in 1850 from parts of Houston County. The county seat moved several times in its early years, from Sumpter to Pennington to Trinity, before settling permanently at Groveton in 1882 to put the courthouse on the new Trinity & Sabine Railway. Records have been kept continuously since 1850, with the bulk preserved through the moves.
  - The county seat has held in Groveton since 1882, when the Trinity & Sabine Railway crossed the county and the courthouse followed the rails. The current 1914 courthouse on the Groveton square is the working seat today, with deed and probate records continuous since the county’s organization in 1850.

## Complete FAQ Reference

### Q: Why did I get a letter from NechesLand?
A: Because the courthouse records in one of the eight East Texas counties we work suggest a relative of yours, or you, owns mineral rights under a tract that sits above the Haynesville Shale or Deep Bossier gas formations. Receiving a letter doesn't obligate you to anything; it just means we'd like to start a title research conversation at no cost to you.

### Q: Do I pay anything for the title research?
A: No. Title research is on us, whether or not the records lead to a lease offer. We pay the courthouse copy fees, the runsheet labor, and any curative work required to clear up a chain of title.

### Q: Are you a broker, or do you lease for yourselves?
A: On the mineral-owner side we work as principal, meaning when we send a lease offer, NechesLand is the named lessee. We're not shopping your minerals to an unnamed third party. (We do also run a full-service landman brokerage business for operators, that's a separate side of the house.)

### Q: Which counties do you work?
A: Eight East Texas counties between the Neches and Trinity rivers: Anderson, Cherokee, Freestone, Houston, Leon, Madison, Robertson, and Trinity. We know the courthouses, the families, and the landscape.

### Q: How does a lease offer work?
A: Every offer comes to you in writing, by mail, on a standard Texas oil and gas lease form. You see the bonus paid up front, the primary term, the royalty fraction, and any depth or surface protections. You have time to read it, ask questions, or have an attorney review it. Nothing is signed by phone or email.

### Q: What if I'm not sure my family ever owned minerals?
A: That's a common situation, mineral interests often pass quietly through estates over generations. Tell us a little about a relative you think may have owned land in any of the eight counties. Start a free title search and we'll let you know what the records show.

### Q: What services do you offer under one roof?
A: Ten brokerage service lines, project staffing & BPO, title & curative, leasing, right-of-way, contracts & A&D, land tech, division orders, leasehold protection, regulatory, and renewables, CCS & data centers. One contract, one PM, one invoice.

### Q: Where do you operate?
A: Brokerage coverage across Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Within East Texas we maintain pre-vetted mineral title across all 8 focus counties (Anderson, Cherokee, Freestone, Houston, Leon, Madison, Robertson, Trinity) so leasing and curative work start on day one.

### Q: What does "pre-vetted title" mean?
A: Ownership, chain-of-title, and curative issues are already screened across our 8 East Texas focus counties. When you bring us an AOI inside that footprint, we don't start a 90-day kickoff, we start runsheets and lease-prep on day one.

### Q: Do you provide staffing or just consulting?
A: Both. We staff and manage full project teams, landmen, title attorneys, GIS, contracts, or place individual specialists into your existing team. Project managers own the schedule, the budget, and the deliverable.

### Q: What land tech platforms do you administer?
A: iLandMan, Quorum Land, and P2 Tobin Land. Data conversions, document management, lease records buildout, ownership updates, and reporting.

### Q: Are you a brokerage or an in-house team?
A: We run as a brokerage so you don't carry the fixed overhead of a full land department, but our project managers work as if embedded, under your forms, your standards, and your systems when you prefer. We sign confidentiality agreements before scope conversations.
