Taylor, House District 66 again, proposed another bill and his website indicates that HB 100, Majority Rights Protection, establishes a legal framework to protect the property rights of Texas oil field owners. This bill, however, only further empowers the majority of oil field property owners to manage the field. The majority owner already has power to "force pool" other minority property owners, and this bill will further erode individual property owner’s ability to negotiate a fair mineral lease offer. The proposal is counterproductive for protecting most property owners. If coupled with his proposed HB 1496, then these two bills would essentially devalue surface property for the benefit of the mineral owner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354570505974016585.post-6935279985132098602013-03-26T00:04:08.537-07:002013-03-26T00:04:08.537-07:00We should be gaining "more" control of t...We should be gaining "more" control of these pipelines rather than "less."
