Q. What do you need to change my mailing address? A. We need address changes in writing. It can be sent to our mailing address, faxed or e-mailed.
Q. When can I expect to receive a royalty check? A. Checks are issued on the 20th of each month for production that was hauled the previous month.
Q. Why didn't I receive a check this month when another owner in the same lease did? A. There could be several reasons, but the most common is that one owner had requested their funds be released when they reached $25, but the other did not. Unless you request that we release your check when it totals $25, it will not be issued until it reaches $100 or the end of the year, whichever comes first.
Q. How do you determine your crude oil prices? A. Our prices are based on Plains Marketing's posting for North Texas Sweet Crude.

Q. What documents do you need to change the ownership of an interest to/from my name? A. If the interest was sold, we need a copy of the Mineral Deed after it is filed with the County Clerk's office in whatever county the lease is located in. If the previous owner is deceased and left a Will, we need a copy of the Probate Order and the Will after they've been filed of record in the county the lease is located in. If the previous owner is deceased and did not leave a Will or did leave a Will but it will not be probated, we need a copy of the Death Certificate and an Affidavit of Heirship after it has been filed of record in the county the lease is located in.
