Which Reminds Me

It is not illegal in Texas to own the mineral rights for oil and natural gas on properties even though the surface of the land is owned by various others persons. This is often done in Texas where oil speculations are rampant. My mother owns three such rights deals in Texas, none of which I fully understand the details or history of, so it is hard for me to understand which deal you are talking about. There is the one involving a jumble of lawsuits and legal issues. And then there is the one in which the surface land is owned by some Arab or Moslem persons unknown to me. And then there is the family deal. So, yeah, that might or might not mean anything to me.
