Mineral rights grant the right to extract minerals from the earth, but the term “mineral” can include oil, natural gas, coal, gold, copper, iron, metal ore, stone, gravel, sand and clay. Texas is best known for its oil and gas production. In fact, with mineral-rich areas like the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale, Texas makes a name for itself as the nation’s biggest producer of oil and natural gas. If you live in Texas, you just may be sitting on oil and gas minerals.
