A Brief on the Issue of Mineral Rights in Texas and New York

The legal ownership of a land property by the Citizen America construes that the ownership of minerals below the surface and the air space above automatically went with the ownership of the land itself. Legally this combined ownership holds unless it has been severed specifically.

So what are mineral rights? Mineral rights are the rights of extraction of minerals below the surface for profit. Though the definition of the word “mineral” itself is ambiguous, it has now come to mean fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil. It includes all metals and their ores like iron, copper and gold. It also includes non-metals like gypsum, salt and limestone. Minerals include peat, gravel and sand as well.

There are technicalities. Mineral rights can be severed from surface rights and sold or leased separately. You may sell mineral rights only for oil and gas and not the other minerals. You can also sell mineral rights for a certain depth. The deed will indicate the mineral rights to a property. Mineral rights are normally leased to a company involved in the commercial exploitation of minerals. A lease is generally signed and executed between the owner of the property, known as the lessor, and the producer known as the lessee. The lessee must pay a bonus amount to the lessor. The period of lease must be decided upon as well as the amount of royalty. Mineral rights in Texas has these clauses. Mineral rights New York also conforms to them.

Mineral rights in Texas go back in history to the period of dual ownership under both Mexico and Spain. These rights have been promulgated in the Texas Constitutions of 1869/1876. The laws of Texas permit the severance of mineral rights from the surface rights. The laws also permit their separate sale or transfer besides lease for commercial exploitation. Mineral rights New York on the other hand, go back to November of 1865 when oil was found in Cattaraugus County in the township of Carrollton.
