Landman Lease and Title Manual

Only thing I did not like is that it seemed to be geared toward beginners.

For 65 dollars its over priced. Would be good for a landman first starting out. The book states a lot of obvious items you learn on the job in your 1st 2 weeks. There is a section on how land is distributed without the prior owner having a will that applies to Texas law. It matched what I knew from KS law so assume it is generally the same. For the money I would buy Oil and Gas leases for landowners by Mike May instead. It says for landowners but works great on breaking down Oil and gas leases and giving ideas for negotiation. email me at [email protected] if you have any other ?

Solid and practical. As a landman/attorney and title examiner who was active along the Texas Gulf Coast in the 70's and 80's, I only wish that such a valuable tool as this manual had been available in my own struggles to understand the broad complexities of the business. Since that time, I have spent the past 25 years as a law professor, and am proud to say that both of the authors, Joe Judd and John Childers, were oil and gas law students of mine during their academic careers. We often spoke of the immense value of this project, and the completion and publication of this treatise marks the proud culmination of a great idea...a practical field manual for the Texas landman, and a great, succinct reference book for attorneys as well.

I bought this book for class in grad school. It's dry reading like most text books or manuals, but informative.

I needed this as an additional reference book for class.

This book covers a large number of topics for a beginning landman in Texas. Clear and concise. Expensive but worth the price.

Made me a better landman....got fired when oil prices dropped below $40

Comprehensive look at the Duties and Details of Field Landman work, highly recommend this book.
