Why it's hard today

Mineral clients take the most preparation.

  • Summaries built by hand

    Pulling production, estimated income and value into one client summary takes extra work.

    One statement per client, with those figures together.
  • Records in two places

    Production sits with the state; ownership and value sit with the county.

    Both read together, lease by lease, for each client.
  • Changes are easy to miss

    Production changes and operator updates are hard to track across many clients.

    What changed, listed for every client, with what needs a decision marked.
Review packet

Your talking points, written before the meeting.

Open a client and the packet is ready, from the latest public figures.

  • Four talking points on income, production, value and what changed.
  • A chart of your client's share of production: filed months solid, the forecast dashed.
  • Each change in plain words: what it means for your client.

What does this mean for The Hollis Family Trust? Recent reports are missing. Ask the operator whether it's a reporting delay, a temporary shut-in (wells closed for now) or another change, and review the client's payment records.

Client statement

One document for the client file.

Income, value and every lease, prepared with your name and firm.

  • Three headline figures: 12-month estimated income, the value estimate with its range, and county value.
  • Every lease in the client's book, in Brief or Full detail.
  • Sources and the date read, at the foot.

You choose what leads

Mark the leases to discuss, and they go to the top under "Leases to discuss".

Try the example: the lease moves to the top.

Letter to an operator

When production falls or reporting stops, the letter is ready.

A ready letter to the company that runs the wells (the operator), with the public figures attached.

  • Are the wells shut in or being repaired, and when will they be back?
  • What decimal is on record for your client, and does it match the division order?
  • Is any payment on hold, and why?

Signed with your name and firm. You review it, save it and send it yourself. It asks for information; it does not claim money is owed.

Owner Relations
Re: The Hollis Family Trust, Midland and Upton counties, Texas

Dear Owner Relations team,

We advise The Hollis Family Trust on the mineral interests below. The production reports your company files with the Texas Railroad Commission for these leases show a decline or no recent filings, and we would like to understand what to expect:

LeaseRRC leaseChangeLast filed
Red Bluff 227C-48216No recent reportMar 2026
Hollis Ranch 14 Unit7C-51073−41%Jul 2026

Please tell us, for each lease: whether the wells are shut in or being worked over and when production is expected back; the decimal and division order you hold for our client; and, if any payment is suspended, why and what you need to release it.

Thank you,
Daniel Whitaker

Figures are from the Railroad Commission production record. This letter asks for information; it does not claim an amount is owed.

The check stub is the real number.Use this estimate as context when you review the client's payment records. An estimate, not an appraisal.

The same steps run for every lease with production and ownership records on file, whether a client holds one or hundreds.

Note for your fileCan I rely on these numbers? 3 answers · 1 min
  1. Are these the payments my client received?No. They are production-based estimates, not recorded payments. The client's check stubs and payment records show what was received.
  2. How current are they?They follow the months filed with the state, which usually run about two months behind. Each document shows the month it covers and the date it was read.
  3. Where does the client's share come from?The decimal comes from the county appraisal roll. If it differs from the operator's division order, the division order is the authority.

See "About this number" on your own clients' leases.

Add your first client.

Your clients' records come from the Texas county records, so your clients don't need an account, and adding a client does not change legal ownership.

Note for your fileWhat happens to your client data? 2 answers · 1 min
  1. Who can see the notes I keep on a client?Your private notes are visible to your firm only.
  2. Is anything sent to my clients or to operators?No. Nothing is sent unless you send it yourself: you save or print each document and decide what to share.
Where the figures come from

Built from records anyone can check.

Production and filings

As reported to the Texas Railroad Commission.

Ownership and value

Texas county appraisal records: the interests and shares they list, and the county's value.

Prices

The U.S. Energy Information Administration's daily benchmark prices, averaged for each month.

Value estimate

Mineral View's own estimate, with its likely range and its method shown.

  • Save as PDF or printA clean page, with the menus hidden.
  • Export to CSVYour clients and every lease, for your planning, tax or reporting software.
  • Nothing goes out by itselfYou check each document and decide what to send.

Production follows the months filed with the state, so it can lag what is happening at the well, and a missing filing does not by itself mean production has stopped. Estimates are not appraisals, tax advice or investment advice. Texas only, in the counties whose records are on file.

Your next client review, prepared.
