as of Jan 2026
Over the twelve most recent reported months, Travis County wells produced about 4,307 barrels of oil — an average of 12 barrels per day. That output comes from roughly 44 active wells, with 212 permitted locations on file. The latest six months are running ahead of the prior six — the signature of new wells coming online.

Travis County is not in an active oil and gas drilling area — there are no major current operators with significant Travis County positions. If you receive royalty checks or hold a producing mineral interest, the underlying wells are almost always in another Texas county or out of state. Send us the operator name from a recent check stub and we will quote the actual interest.
Public-company tickers link to investor relations. Private operators are marked as such and do not carry a ticker.
We also buy overriding royalty interests (ORRIs) and non-participating royalty interests (NPRIs) in Travis County — common for tracts under leases held by major operators with carried-out royalty structures.
Yes. Travis County is on our active buy list. We buy mineral interests, royalty interests, NPRI, and ORRI on both producing and non-producing tracts targeting the Austin Chalk and Buda Lime formations.
The most active operators we track in Travis County include . We regularly buy interests held under leases with these operators.
Last-six-month volumes in Travis County are running meaningfully above the prior six months, which usually means new wells are coming online. That tends to firm up offer values on producing tracts in the same area.
Very little. Travis County (Austin) sits west of the active Texas oil and gas plays — the Permian Basin is in West Texas, the Eagle Ford is southeast in the Karnes/Dimmit/La Salle area, and the Haynesville is in East Texas. Travis County itself has only a handful of legacy Austin Chalk and Buda Lime wells, mostly inactive. If you live in the Austin area and own producing mineral interests, the wells are almost always in another Texas county or out-of-state. We buy interests in any of those active areas — send us the operator name or county on a recent check stub and we will quote it.
You are in a common position. Many Travis County residents inherited mineral interests in the Permian, Eagle Ford, or Haynesville from parents or grandparents who lived in West Texas, South Texas, or East Texas. The first step is identifying what you own: pull recent check stubs (if any) for the operator name and lease name, or request a Texas Railroad Commission well-search by section/township/range if you only have a deed reference. Pointer can do the research from a deed copy or even a property-tax statement; we do not require complete records to send an offer.
No. The entire transaction is handled by mail, e-mail, and overnight courier. We send you a written offer, a Purchase and Sale Agreement, and a mineral deed. Notarization is the only step that requires in person — most banks, UPS Stores, and mobile notaries in the Austin metro can handle it for $5–$15. Funds wire or check at closing. The full process from accepted offer to funded sale typically takes 7–14 days regardless of where the underlying minerals sit.
Closings on Travis County mineral rights typically take 7 to 30 days from the date you accept our offer, depending on title complexity. We handle county-level title work, PSA drafting, mineral deed preparation, and notary coordination at our expense.
Just a tract description (abstract or survey, section/township/range, or a legal description from your deed) and any recent royalty check stubs if the interest is producing. You do not need to gather deeds or title opinions up front.
Travis County is an active mineral-producing area in Texas, where operators are targeting austin chalk / buda lime. Activity is led by names like , and new drilling continues to shape the play across the Austin Chalk and Buda Lime formations.
If you hold mineral rights, royalty interests, NPRI, or ORRI anywhere in the county, we'd like to put a written offer in front of you. Every offer we send is funded from our own balance sheet — there's no auction, no broker markup, and no third-party capital waiting to approve the deal.
Travis County has steady development activity and we buy here regularly. If you own minerals in the county, we'd like to evaluate your tract.
Last-six-month production is up meaningfully vs the prior six, which usually signals new wells coming online.
