Status Draft, sent to the requester to approve
- Requester
- Withheld at the requester's request. An operator.
- Work
- Courthouse runsheet, mineral estate.
- County
- Lone Mesa County, Texas (made up). County clerk's office; the later years are on the clerk's online index, the earlier deed records are in books at the courthouse.
- Lands
- All of Section 14, Block 7, Sample RR Co. Survey, Abstract 1102, about 640 acres.
- Depth
- Sovereignty to present. If the early books cannot be worked, stop at 1940 and say so on the runsheet; the requester holds an old abstract that covers the earlier years.
- Not in scope
- Leasehold, surface, curative and any title opinion.
- Deliverables
- 1. Runsheet in Excel: instrument, dates, Vol/Pg or instrument number, grantor, grantee, interest conveyed, notes.
2. A PDF copy of every instrument on the runsheet.
3. A one-page mineral ownership summary as of the last instrument run. A landman's summary, not a title opinion. - Start window
- Within three weeks of written terms. The requester wants the file in about a month.
