I need the contact information of a GOOD oil and gas attorney. Our really GREAT o & g attorney retired about 15 yrs ago, and we need a GOOD o & g attorney to negotiate a lease for our presently unleased Frio County property.
Fran,
I suggest Wade Caldwell. He is a member of the Frio County Group and knows that area very well.

Feel free to use my name in introducing yourself to any of them.
In the meantime, use this link and download a copy of a lease a woman named Christine sent me from California that she prepared with the assistance of her Attorney on her 6.667% net interest in a 9.57 acre tract in Atascosa County, Texas.
I think it may be the single best lease I've ever seen from a Landowners point of view: https://www.hightail.com/download/ZUcwZUN2YWJkMnZLd01UQw
There would, of course, be additional clauses and provisions I would suggest if you own your surface.
Hope this helps -

I neglected to ask. How much land are you talking about?

David Wallace of Sonora TX is a good oil and gas attorney. Simply look him up. I've personally seen his work product and heard him teach on oil and gas matters. He knows well how to represent landowners.
My clients use David Wallace out of Sonora, Texas as Kenny Wilson stated. I audit the production from his leases and generally find the royalty owners a great deal of underpayment due to the quality and complexity of his work.
