The Comptroller's office has no legal authority involving issues relating to royalty interest owners and their royalty interest payments. However, the Comptroller's office can assist in generating a list of the volumes and values that producers and purchasers report. The list shows which party paid the tax on a lease for specific production periods; royalty interest owners can use the list to determine when they should have been paid based on the volumes and values reported to the Comptroller's office. Order the list by submitting an open records request at open.records@cpa.texas.gov. Include the Texas Railroad Commission (RRC) lease and county numbers and the production periods.
Additionally, you may use the RRC lease ID number or drilling permit number to look up this data on our CONG Web Inquiry system. Click either the "Lease Drop–Crude Oil" or "Lease Drop–Natural Gas" links, and complete the appropriate fields. No login is required for this feature.
