What to consider before buying Texas land
Texas land with mineral rights is extremely important and valuable. If mineral rights are not conveyed, according to land.com, insisting on a surface waiver can eliminate problems with unwanted drilling and mining on the property.
Accessibility can also be an issue, so make sure that the property is accessible via good roads in all types of weather.
