Drake has finally begun recording leases in the Houston County Deed Records. They recorded 52 lease memos on 3/28/2025.
These leases cover acreage in the G Greenwood A-37 and R Pennington A-821 Surveys. The Greenwood leases total more than 2,000 acres.
Here is a map showing the location of these surveys:
We should see more lease memos filed in the next few months.
Thanks for this information, Alan.
There has been a lot more leased than just these filed leases. These brokers a “getting all the low hanging fruit” real cheap and long term from what I’ve heard.
I posted last week that Drake’s objective is to lease 30,000 acres in northwestern Houston County and 30,000 acres in southwestern Anderson County. I believe they are close to being done in Houston, and are doing title work in Anderson.
