Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
mineral rights
We sold our home and negotiated and retained our mineral rights. In return we left a Kabota tractor and a custome shuffleboard table. His realtor failed to put the mineral rights in the last legal document to the title company. We had leased the surface rights 3 yrs. previous. We knew the oil drilling was coming. We would NEVER have sold our mineral rights with the house. Do we have any recourse?

Re: mineral rights
It depends. Does the contract or any other document mention a mineral reservation? You might maintain a suit to reform the deed, but it won't be cheap. Is there a chance the buyer will simply agree to do the right thing and correct the deed? And why were you relying on a realtor of all people to get the legal documents straight?
