What you do not want to discover too late

Look past the number in the first letter.

The price changes after you commit.

Ask whether the number is firm or conditional, which ownership assumptions support it, and what evidence can justify a reduction. Get the adjustment rules in writing.

The deed includes more than you expected.

Compare the proposed deed with the offer: properties, ownership share, depths and rights retained. A conversation about one well does not replace reviewing the conveyance.

The deadline moves, but your plans cannot.

Ask who is funding the purchase, whether another buyer must be found, and when diligence ends. Have your adviser explain extensions, exclusivity and termination rights.

Owner guidance also flags pressure and unclear sale scope. NARO ROAR, July 2026, pages 5-6. These are issues to check, not a claim that every buyer uses them.

Use this before choosing a buyer

Can this buyer explain the deal and close it?

Mark an item only when you have an answer you can verify. Blank boxes are questions for your next conversation. This checklist is on this page; your free PDF contains the offer-comparison worksheet shown below.

Identity and role. I know the legal buyer, who the representative works for, and whether they are a buyer or intermediary. I checked the entity and contact details independently. Comparable price. I know the interest, acreage units and assumptions behind the amount. I can compare another offer on the same basis. Changes in writing. I understand what can reduce the price, what supporting evidence is required, and how disputed changes are handled. Exact rights. My adviser has checked the proposed deed against the rights I intend to sell and keep. Funding and assignment. I asked how the purchase will be funded, who will pay me, and whether closing depends on assigning the deal. A defined timetable. I have the diligence deadline, closing date, extension rules and any restriction on considering other offers. Payment and document release. My adviser has explained when funds clear and when the deed is released or recorded. I verify changed payment instructions through a previously trusted contact. Independent review. I have time to get professional advice and ask for references. A registration or polished website alone does not establish that a buyer will perform.

This is a conversation checklist, not a buyer certification or legal review. Your selections stay on this page and are not submitted. MRX provides educational information only and does not buy mineral rights.

Sources behind these questions

NARO: compare offers and valuation assumptions
AAPL: standards for fair and honest dealings
Texas Secretary of State: entity searches (use the relevant state's registry).
CFPB: independently verify payment instructions (general closing-fraud precaution, adapted here).
Texas Property Code §5.151 addresses disclosures for certain mailed mineral-interest offers with conveyance and payment instruments; it is not a nationwide rule.
