Harwood is a small farming and ranching community on the eastern side of Gonzales County, part of the Eagle Ford's liquids-rich sweet spot.
This corner of the county saw a wave of drilling activity as operators worked out from the core toward the eastern edge of the play. Mineral ownership around Harwood tends to run through smaller family farms rather than the large historic ranches found elsewhere in the county, which often means smaller individual interests but a similarly long paper trail.
Harwood is a tiny community along the old rail line, and most of its history has been agricultural rather than industrial. The Eagle Ford brought new activity to land that had mostly seen cotton and cattle for a hundred years before that.
Smaller tracts, real production
A modest-sized family farm interest near Harwood can still sit on a productive Eagle Ford unit. Interest size doesn't determine whether we'll make an offer, your decimal share of the unit's actual production does.
Title through Gonzales County
We pull your deed and any transfers from the Gonzales County Clerk's office and confirm your legal description against the Railroad Commission unit covering your tract. Farm tracts here sometimes have minerals that were sold off separately from the surface generations ago, which we account for.
Pricing a mature liquids-rich interest
Most Harwood-area wells are well into their production life at this point, and we build an offer around current combined oil, gas, and NGL output plus remaining reserve life, not the well's early, higher-volume years.
Place the county tract on the basin board
The local file should tie the county record and legal description to the relevant basin, formation, field, unit, wells, permits, and operator position. A surface address can help find the tract, but it does not establish the mineral interest or prove participation in nearby development.
Read the local well vintages
Producing wells, shut-in wells, intermittent wells, newer laterals, older vertical wells, nearby completions, and general operator acreage in the surrounding area belong in separate evidence lanes. The paid property history carries more weight than a rig or permit that does not include the subject acreage.
Reconcile the ownership line
Deeds, reservations, leases, assignments, probate or trust records, division orders, unit documents, payor records, and statements should all point to the same local interest. Acreage, fractions, burdens, depths, products, and the paid decimal stay open until the supporting records agree.
Compare the deed and closing terms
A written offer for the tract should state the exact interest conveyed, effective date, receivables, reservations, title standard, curative responsibility, adjustment rights, payment conditions, and recording sequence. A strong headline number can still carry a broad deed or a weak closing condition.
Texas Owner Questions
Your family's farm near Harwood is small. Is your mineral interest too small to sell?
No, we evaluate interests of all sizes. What matters is your decimal share of the producing unit, not the size of the farm.
How do you confirm ownership if your deed is decades old?
We pull the full chain of transfers from the Gonzales County Clerk's records to confirm current ownership, regardless of how old the original deed is.
Does your interest include both oil and gas royalties?
Most Eagle Ford wells in this area produce oil, gas, and NGLs together. We evaluate your full royalty stream across all products.
How do you know if your Harwood interest is even worth pursuing?
Send us your deed or a statement and we'll check the well's current production at no cost before you decide anything.
