Sell Mineral Rights in Tatum, TX

Tatum sits over some of the thickest Haynesville pay in Panola County, and most owners here are still sorting out what that means for a lease their grandfather signed decades before Comstock ever drilled a horizontal well.

Panola County has been gas country since long before the Haynesville got famous. Tatum families have owned interests tied to Cotton Valley and Travis Peak wells going back to the 1970s and 80s, and a lot of those old pooled units now sit directly above newer Haynesville laterals. If your check has changed shape in the last few years, that's usually why.

We buy mineral and royalty interests around Tatum outright. No listing process, no waiting on a landman to circle back. You send us your division order or a recent check stub, we tell you what we can pay, and you decide.

Why Tatum keeps showing up on operator maps

Comstock Resources and Aethon Energy have both held acreage in this part of Panola County for years, and Tatum's position puts a lot of tracts inside multiple stacked units — one for the shallower Cotton Valley or Travis Peak zones, sometimes a second for the deeper Haynesville. That stacking is good for cash flow but it makes ownership records messy, especially when a tract has been split among heirs three or four generations deep.

Gas price swings hit Haynesville royalty checks harder than most people expect, since almost nothing here is oil. When Henry Hub drops, a check that looked strong in 2022 can look thin by 2024 even with the same production. That volatility is exactly the kind of thing a lump-sum sale trades away.

What ownership actually looks like around here

Most of the mineral acreage near Tatum was never sold whole — it passed down through wills, and Panola County's clerk records show a lot of undivided fractional interests split across siblings and cousins who may not even live in Texas anymore. If you inherited a piece of a lease and you're not sure how big your share really is, that's normal, and it's the first thing we sort out before we make an offer.

Split estate is common too: plenty of Tatum-area landowners own the surface but not the minerals, or the reverse. We only need to know what you actually hold — we're not asking you to prove up someone else's interest.

How we price a Tatum interest

We start with your actual production history where we can get it, not a flat per-acre number pulled off a county-wide average. A Haynesville unit that's three years into decline pays differently than one that just came online, and gas price assumptions move the math depending on where futures are trading when we quote you. Anyone offering a fixed number sight unseen is guessing — we'd rather look at your statements first.
