What shows up on your report
New permits filed
A drilling permit gets filed with the Railroad Commission within your alert radius. You hear about it the same week it's public.
Rigs moving in
Equipment shows up on a location near your tract. This is usually the first physical sign that drilling is actually coming.
Wells nearby
Any well spudded or completed close to your acreage, with distance and formation, so you know what it might mean for you.
Tell us your county and interest
Enter what's on your check stub or division order. We look you up against the county appraisal roll.
How it works
We match it to a map
Your severed mineral interest gets tied to an actual tract, so alerts are about your ground, not a whole county.
You get told when something changes
Permit, rig, or well within your radius — you get a plain-language note, not a data dump.
