That was great you winning in the end. Other people have not been so lucky, however!
No I haven't ever seen one, heard a lot of sad stories though!
Texas courts have held that mineral leases are not mere rental agreements as the name implies. Instead, they are actually deeds granting limited ownership rights to mineral lessees for as long as the lease continues. The Texas courts have always wanted standards for mineral rights leases for obvious reasons, but the state legislature has never allowed for this to happen! WHY? Let me try to explain- Putting Corporate or just Business Interests over the Land Owners best interests- SIMPLY PUT!
So, I am just going by that general opinion of the Texas Courts, because this is probably more of the case in most leases here in Texas.
