Mineral Agreements Other Than Oil & Gas

Texas Mineral Rights Lawyer

Landowners with mineral rights in their land face a daunting array of questions. They need to protect the land, maximize revenue, and preserve their options in the future. Our lawyer worked for years in the oil and gas business. He uses this experience to get the best possible outcome for landowners engaged in negotiating deals with mineral extraction companies. If a resource extraction company has approached you seeking to remove gravel, coal, or any other mineral or resource from your land, contact a knowledgeable lawyer right away to begin protecting yourself and your property. Call Ralph E. Williamson for a free initial consultation.

At the Law Offices of Ralph E. Williamson, in San Antonio, we know that each underground resource has environmental and marketing issues specific to that resource. Gravel and sand, for example, must be removed from the property by heavy trucks, which dig up the ground and leave long-term scars on the land. We know how to structure a mineral rights contract to require an extraction company to leave the property in pristine condition once the resource is gone.

We understand issues related to pricing, marketing, and reclamation.

Our attorney negotiates agreements to ensure you receive the best price possible, taking into account the depth of the resource, the energy content of the material, and the cost of cleanup. Coal deposits present unusual marketing and environmental issues. We make sure that the operator obtains the proper permits, commits to reclamation, and complies with all other regulatory requirements.

We deal with alternative fuels such as wood, biomass crops, and ethanol components. With these resources, as with minerals such as sulphur or uranium, we develop sales contracts that maximize price and preserve the land. We understand that the value of such materials exists only if they are in demand. We help research the markets so that you are in a strong negotiating position.

Landowners with water rights in their property may be contacted during residential development in their area. You can be sure that part of the development planning will be to identify a water source. We can help you structure an agreement that provides access to your underground water while protecting you and your land, realizing the maximum price possible for access to water under your property.

Landowners with water or mineral rights should contact an experienced attorney right away to protect themselves and get the best possible price for their resource. Call the Law Offices of Ralph E. Williamson to learn how we can help.
