Very little. Travis County (Austin) sits west of the active Texas oil and gas plays — the Permian Basin is in West Texas, the Eagle Ford is southeast in the Karnes/Dimmit/La Salle area, and the Haynesville is in East Texas. Travis County itself has only a handful of legacy Austin Chalk and Buda Lime wells, mostly inactive. If you live in the Austin area and own producing mineral interests, the wells are almost always in another Texas county or out-of-state. We buy interests in any of those active areas — send us the operator name or county on a recent check stub and we will quote it.

You are in a common position. Many Travis County residents inherited mineral interests in the Permian, Eagle Ford, or Haynesville from parents or grandparents who lived in West Texas, South Texas, or East Texas. The first step is identifying what you own: pull recent check stubs (if any) for the operator name and lease name, or request a Texas Railroad Commission well-search by section/township/range if you only have a deed reference. Pointer can do the research from a deed copy or even a property-tax statement; we do not require complete records to send an offer.

No. The entire transaction is handled by mail, e-mail, and overnight courier. We send you a written offer, a Purchase and Sale Agreement, and a mineral deed. Notarization is the only step that requires in person — most banks, UPS Stores, and mobile notaries in the Austin metro can handle it for $5–$15. Funds wire or check at closing. The full process from accepted offer to funded sale typically takes 7–14 days regardless of where the underlying minerals sit.

Closings on Travis County mineral rights typically take 7 to 30 days from the date you accept our offer, depending on title complexity. We handle county-level title work, PSA drafting, mineral deed preparation, and notary coordination at our expense.

Just a tract description (abstract or survey, section/township/range, or a legal description from your deed) and any recent royalty check stubs if the interest is producing. You do not need to gather deeds or title opinions up front.
