| 2009-06-16 | Wendy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for your prompt response. It has been over 45 days since we sent a demand for the money, and I would assume there is no title issue since they have paid royalties for 3 years prior to withholding. We are currently out of pocket almost $500 in expenses for lost work for meetings cancelled at the last minute copies and phone calls. I guess there is no recourse other than attorneys, but would like to get the word out to whoever regulates these issues as well. |

| 2009-04-30 | Cynthia | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | I have since found a lawyer and have been advised that there is a procedure that we can likely take advantage of. It will allow me to be appointed the receiver of the property for the limited purpose of signing the lease. But thank you for getting back with me. |
| 2009-04-30 | Steve | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thanks for a speedy response. Again.. Best Regards Steve |

Expertise
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ASKING ME A QUESTION I will try to answer questions about oil & gas leases, minerals, royalties, and servitudes, if the questioner has provided a good description of the lands. I require a section, township and range for any land not it Texas. I require a survey name and an abstract number if the lands are in Texas. I will answer questions about offers to lease or purchase mineral interests only if all terms of the offer are in the question, including the term, the royalty and the amount offered. Failure to provide this information will result in the question being rejected. I have answered more than 2300 questions on this site and get as many as fifty in one day. I do not have the time nor am I inclined to deal with detailed questions requiring an attorney. I am not a substitute for an attorney. If you do not write in a cognizant form, I will reject your question. If you have done real research and have a question I find interesting, I will answer it. If you haven't done any research on your own, I will not do it for you. If you do not rate the first answer, do not send a follow up, because I will reject it. If my time means so little to you that you feel that you cannot take your time to rate an answer, I do not have time to answer another question.
