Questions answered? Let's get started!

A Texas royalty deed conveys a share of what an oil or gas well produces, free of the cost of producing it, without handing over the power to lease the minerals or drill them. This form prepares a royalty deed that conveys a non-participating royalty interest in the oil, gas, and other minerals under a described tract, with a general warranty of title and subject to any existing lease.

One Stick From the Bundle

Texas treats the mineral estate as a bundle of five rights: the right to develop the minerals, the right to lease them, the right to a lease bonus, the right to delay rentals, and the right to royalty. A royalty deed conveys only the last one. The grantee receives a fractional share of production but takes no part in signing leases, no say in whether a well is drilled, and no bonus or delay rental. Because the holder does not participate in those decisions, the interest is a non-participating royalty interest, often shortened to NPRI.

That single-stick character is what the form makes unmistakable. Texas courts read a deed by its whole text, and the words decide whether an interest is royalty or mineral in nature. Following the line of cases from Watkins v. Slaughter through Temple-Inland Forest Products Corp. v. Henderson Family Partnership, the form names the interest a royalty interest, states that it bears none of the costs of production, and strips the executive, development, bonus, and delay rental rights. A deed that merely grants minerals in and under the land, by contrast, tends to create a mineral interest, a different instrument.

Fixed or Floating

A royalty fraction can be written two ways, and the choice changes what the grantee collects when an old lease ends and a new one begins at a different rate. A fixed royalty is a set fraction of gross production, such as a fixed one-sixteenth of everything the well yields, and it does not move when the lease changes. A floating royalty is a fraction of whatever royalty the lease in force reserves, so it rises and falls with the lease rate. Decades of Texas litigation over double-fraction language, the kind that reads one-half of one-eighth, trace back to deeds that left this ambiguous, with Luckel v. White and Hysaw v. Dawkins among the leading cases. The form gives separate space to state the size of the interest and whether it is fixed or floating.

Subject to the Lease and Recorded for Protection

A royalty is paid under the terms of the lease that governs the well, so the form identifies any existing oil and gas lease the conveyance is made subject to, along with other matters of record. A subject-to clause also limits the conveyance to what the grantor actually owns. A royalty interest is an interest in land, so the deed is recorded with the county clerk where the land lies, which protects the grantee against a later purchaser from the same grantor. The county appraisal district then lists the interest as real property for ad valorem tax, since Texas treats an interest in minerals as real property.

What the Package Includes

The package includes the royalty deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example filled in for a realistic Reeves County fact pattern, and a plain-language guide that walks through every section and explains the fixed and floating choice. The materials are informational and are not legal advice. A grantor conveying the minerals themselves, with leasing and bonus rights, looks to the Texas Mineral Deed instead.

While it's nice to get all the forms and info in one package for a reasonable cost, the fixed format of the form does not allow for a lengthy meet and bounds property description for real property. Also, the Cover Sheet has big fillable sections with no instructions about what's supposed to go there. I tried the "Contact Us" link, but all it does is spin saying it's trying verify the security of my connection. Looks like I;m going to have to create my own deed in MS Word instead of just filling in the blacks of the PDF file that I downloaded. Bummer!

This product is good but the text boxes are not large enough to contain the information required for the form. Even dates do not display with the entry you make.

Your Personal Representative's Deed and example for the state of PA were extremely helpful. Exactly what I needed! Two feedback comments: 1. Valuation Factors/Short List in my download is an outdated table dated July 2020. The PA Dept of Revenue website has a more current table dated June 2021. (Maybe same for Valuation Factors/Long List, which I didn't use.) 2. Notarization section on deed page 3 has a gender-related input needed, which confused the Notary Public representative where I live in the state of CO. Notary input the word she to apply to my wife, but wasn't clear to him if the gender input applied to the Grantor or the Notary. He assumed Grantor. Also in our non-binary world, some might find that wording offensive. Thanks again for your documents. Russ Lewis
