The oil and gas business has been a major factor in Texas' commerce. New technology, as demonstrated in the Barnett Shale, and an increase in the nationwide energy demand, has created an expansion of natural gas development. Energy companies working with land owners brings opportunities for significant income to both.

Most land owners are not educated enough in their mineral rights to know what their land is worth to allow energy companies to drill on or under their land. Unfortunately the energy companies are apt to take advantage of this and purchase land owners' mineral rights for less than fair market value. In many cases, this intentional deception by the energy companies to take advantage of Barnett Shale land owners goes unnoticed and when noticed, land owners might think it's too late to do anything about it.

Even after a transaction is complete, Barnett Shale land owners can dispute the deal offered and may be able to recover monetary damages.
