The General Mineral Deed in Texas transfers ALL oil, gas, and mineral rights from the grantor to the grantee. THIS IS NOT A LEASE. There are no Exceptions or Reservations included.

The transfer includes all oil, gas, vaporous hydrocarbons, coal, lignite, ores, metals, minerals and mineral products of every kind and nature. It also transfers any and all rights to receive royalties, overriding royalties, net profits interests or other payments out of or with respect to those oil, gas and other minerals.

This general mineral deed gives the grantee the right to extract by wells, mines, shafts, open pits, strip mining or any other method (whether now in use or to be developed in the future), including but not limited to, mining or other methods which are destructive of the surface.

Use of this document has a permanent effect on your rights to the property, if you are not completely sure of what you are executing seek the advice of a legal professional.
