For landowners in Texas, understanding oil and gas law is crucial when dealing with mineral rights, lease agreements, and property ownership concerns. Mineral rights agreements are often complex, and failing to fully understand the terms can lead to unfavorable contracts or financial loss. At Daughtrey Law Firm, we help landowners make informed decisions by reviewing contracts, negotiating favorable lease terms, and ensuring compliance with state regulations.
Whether you are considering leasing your land for oil or gas exploration or facing disputes over royalty payments and ownership rights, our firm provides the legal guidance needed to protect your interests.

With extensive experience in mineral rights law, we are committed to helping clients understand their rights and secure the best possible outcomes in oil and gas transactions.
Understand your Oil & Gas Lease Agreements
Negotiating oil and gas leases, royalty agreements, and surface use rights requires careful legal oversight to protect landowners, mineral rights holders, and energy companies from potential legal and financial risks. Our firm provides comprehensive legal representation in lease negotiations, joint operating agreements, pipeline easements, and drilling contracts to ensure that financial terms, environmental protections, and legal obligations are clearly defined, enforceable, and beneficial to our clients. We also assist in title examination, production sharing agreements, severance tax considerations, and mineral rights disputes, helping clients navigate Texas oil and gas regulations while maximizing their financial and legal interests with confidence.
Thorough due diligence is critical in real estate acquisitions, mineral rights transactions, and energy infrastructure projects. Our firm conducts extensive title research, land surveys, environmental assessments, and regulatory compliance reviews to identify potential risks before contracts are executed. We evaluate ownership rights, existing encumbrances, lease obligations, mineral severance issues, and zoning regulations to safeguard investments and prevent legal disputes. Whether you're acquiring commercial real estate, leasing mineral rights, or developing oil and gas assets, we ensure that all legal, financial, and operational aspects are carefully reviewed for a smooth and legally sound transaction.
Well-structured legal documentation is essential for ensuring that real estate and energy transactions are legally enforceable and aligned with contractual obligations. Our firm drafts and reviews purchase agreements, oil and gas leases, surface use agreements, promissory notes, deeds of trust, easements, and right-of-way agreements to protect our clients' interests. We also prepare financing agreements, royalty distribution contracts, and closing documents to ensure compliance with state and federal regulations. From seller-financed real estate transactions to complex energy agreements, we provide customized legal documentation solutions that mitigate risk and facilitate successful transactions.
