Westover Hills is a small, established enclave just west of downtown Fort Worth, and mineral interests here tend to be old family holdings that predate the town's incorporation by decades.
Because Westover Hills sits so close to central Fort Worth, minerals here are almost certainly part of a larger pooled Barnett unit reached by directional drilling from a pad site elsewhere. Ownership on the older estates in this area often runs through several generations of the same family.
Send us your deed or division order and we will confirm exactly what's producing under your property and what your interest is worth.
Old estates, pooled modern production
Westover Hills has some of the older, more established residential land in Tarrant County, and mineral ownership on these estates frequently predates the Barnett boom by generations. When the play arrived in the mid-2000s, those existing minerals got pooled into units drilled from nearby pad sites rather than any drilling happening within Westover Hills itself.
Confirming title on inherited urban tracts
For interests that have passed through a family multiple times, we confirm the current chain of title through the Tarrant County Clerk's office before quoting a number, checking whether probate was properly filed for each transfer along the way. That step protects both of us when it's time to close.
What determines what we offer
We pull current production for the unit tied to your tract and calculate your exact decimal interest from the confirmed chain of title, then compare against recent comparable sales in this part of Tarrant County before quoting a number.
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
Is there a well physically located in Westover Hills?
Unlikely, given how small and built out the town is. Your interest is more likely pooled into a unit with a wellbore elsewhere in the area, reached through directional drilling.
Your family's estate here has passed through three generations. What do you need?
A copy of each transfer, deeds and probate records where applicable, so we can confirm clean title before closing. We will tell you specifically what's missing if anything is.
How is your royalty interest calculated if you only inherited a partial share?
We calculate your exact decimal interest based on your fractional share of the original interest and the unit's total production, then value it accordingly.
What if you are not the only heir who inherited this interest?
We can buy your documented share alone. Other heirs can decide separately whether to sell, lease, or hold their own portion.
