How it works Four steps. No runaround.

Selling mineral rights should feel more like a conversation with a neighbor than a meeting with a lawyer. Here's how we do it.

Who you're working with

I started Longhorn to do this the honest way.

My name is Gabriel Ferguson and I'm a Texas-based mineral rights buyer. I started Longhorn Minerals because I saw how confusing this process can be — especially for families who have inherited rights and don't know what they have or what it's worth.

I work with a team of experienced Texas landmen, mineral rights attorneys, and qualified buyers who have been working these transactions for over twenty years. You get that experience behind every step — not a form letter from a large company.

When you call, you speak with me directly. I'll tell you plainly what your rights are worth and walk you through your options. And if holding on makes more sense than selling, I'll tell you that too.

A Plain-English Guide
What Your Mineral Rights Are Really Worth
A 24-page guide for landowners & heirs — with worksheets, red flags, and a fair-offer checklist.
2026 Edition
Free resource

Before you sell to anyone, read this.

Our guide walks you through exactly how mineral rights are valued, how to spot a lowball offer, and the seven questions every landowner should ask before signing anything — ours included.

You can own those minerals even if you don't own the land above them. If you are receiving royalty checks in the mail, you almost certainly own mineral rights.", }, { q: 'I inherited these. Do I have to sell?', a: 'Absolutely not. A lot of families hold onto mineral interests for generations, and that can be the right call. My job is to give you an honest picture of what yours are worth today, so you can make that decision with real information.', }, { q: "Is the valuation really free? What's the catch?", a: "Truly free. No fees, no strings, no obligation. I make money when we find minerals worth purchasing, not by charging you to find out what yours are worth. If the offer isn't right for you, we part as friends and you keep all the information I gave you.", }, { q: 'How do you figure out what my rights are worth?', a: 'We look up your specific property using public records. We check whether there is active production, what the wells nearby are doing, and what similar mineral interests in your county have sold for recently. Then we write up a number and explain exactly how we got there.', }, { q: 'How long does the whole thing take?', a: 'Timelines vary by deal, but a typical mineral rights transaction runs 35–45 days from signed agreement to funds in your account.

The part most owners never hear

Your mineral rights may be worth more right now than they ever will be again.

Oil and gas wells decline. Production slows. Operators move crews to other sites. The economics of your property change every year and sometimes every month.

This means the mineral rights you hold today might be at peak value right now, and that's exactly why an honest evaluation matters before you decide anything.

{/*

Most people have no idea which one applies to them. That's exactly why an honest evaluation matters — before you decide anything.

*/}
{/*
At peak value right now
Wells are actively being drilled nearby, the operator is investing, and buyers are paying strong prices in your area.
Slowly losing value
The wells in your area are older, the operator has moved on, and fewer buyers are interested each year.
*/}
{/* RIGHT — when selling makes sense */}
When selling starts to make sense
It's about choosing certainty over guesswork.

People call us when a lump sum payment would simply do more good than a small, unpredictable check each month. There is no wrong reason to find out.
