Stay on top of the minerals you own.
Texas Mineral Watch keeps an eye on everything that affects your minerals — new drilling near your tract, including the horizontal wells that can drain what you own from a mile away, the wells and operators around you, and the fine print in your own leases and division orders. We surface what actually matters, in plain English — so your time goes to growing what you own, not chasing down Railroad Commission filings and keeping spreadsheets.
Your first tract is free, forever. We never sell your data and never make offers to buy your minerals.

Everything about your minerals, in one place.
You tell us what you own. We watch the public record around it and translate what it means — the moment it matters, in plain English — so you can act on it instead of hunting for it.
- New drilling permits near your tract. The day an operator files a W-1 within your radius — the leading signal that development is coming.
- Horizontal wells that can drain your tract. A horizontal well can produce the minerals you own from a mile away, even when the rig never touches your land. Every new permit we flag shows whether it's horizontal and how close it is to your tract — so you see the wells that can pull from under you.
- Completions. When a well on or near your lease is completed and starts producing.
- Production on your leases. Monthly oil & gas volumes on the wells that pay you — is your royalty tracking right?
- An AI reader for your own documents. Upload a division order, lease, pooling agreement or deed — we pull out the royalty, bonus, net acres, term and depths and explain them in plain English.

This report compiles and structures publicly available oil & gas records from the Railroad Commission of Texas — drilling permits, completions, well status, and lease production. We monitor development activity and public filings near a location you tell us about; we do NOT determine mineral ownership, confirm what you own, or provide legal, tax, or investment advice. Nothing here replaces a title opinion, a landman, or reading the official RRC filing. Activity is mapped to the operator-filed permit surface location (NAD27, precision disclaimed by the RRC), not your mineral tract. Data is current only as of the source vintage shown on the page. Our total liability for any report is capped at the amount you paid for it. Found an error? Reply to any email and a human will correct it.
