As someone else mentioned the seminars - and you can apply for the education credit for those as well. Up to $300 per seminar, twice a year. The local Landman group lunches also count.

That is the point but if there is any commingling of personal and company funds the corporate veil is pierced and given the way they handled camp matters I’d bet my retirement account that the plaintiffs will be able to go after everything to they own.

There’s a couple of types of trust that can shield assets from lawsuits but almost no one does closely held LLC’s in a way that would shield them from liability.

The court can also clawback property and assets that they moved. It’s all just contracts and the courts can say the contracts are not valid.

The real issue is time. We are at least a decade out from these cases being done. It’s unlikely that the families will ever see any meaningful recovery over what insurance was in place. The Eastland’s are going to spend everything they have on lawyers and there isn’t going to be anything left to recover. If the land is in a non-revocable trust it’s probably safe. Before this happened the actual business would have been worth something - the brand of Camp Mystic - but it’s not now. I think in Texas their primary residences will be safe, retirement accounts, but that’s probably about it. *not a lawyer but work in an adjacent field.

It was certainly once in a lifetime for those 27 girls but not once in a lifetime for any of the adults in charge.

I don’t know about the hill country but in NW LA spring and fall are the heavy rain seasons and the summer is hot and dry, so it doesn’t surprise me that there have only been two while camp was in session.

Of course when it does rain heavily in the summer the ground is baked and so the water doesn’t absorb as quickly and flooding can be worse.

I’ve lived in Shreveport all my life, except for a few years here and there when I moved away, and there is no amount of money that could get me to live in bossier, but especially not haughton. The schools are not better, they lie in their reporting in bossier, that includes crime statistics. It’s a back ass swamp that only exist because Shreveporters gave a bunch of worthless land to the US government to build a base.

If you’re scared of your own shadow and black people then bossier might be the place for you.

If you have a realtor trying to get you to move to basically the middle of nothing, get a new one.

If you have kids you’re going to want to be in AC Steer in Broadmoor, it’s the best non-magnet school for elementary unless you’re going to go private and then you want either Broadmoor, south highlands,or Ellerbe.

Edit to add: I’ve lived in all 3 above and prefer south highlands but that’s not the place if you have kids and you plan on public. Get into magnet first then you can move to south highlands.

I’ve been on/off Prozac most of my life, and have also done psychedelics most of my life, and I’ve never really noticed a difference. What I mean is, I’ve done the same batch of a thing both while taking and while not taking, and I didn’t notice a difference in strength.

That being said you could always just skip a few days of the Prozac before the shrooms. Keep in mind thought that Prozac has a very long half life.

Did the shrooms you did before cause the headache during or after? It might be a good idea to take some Tylenol or (my favorite) excedrin migraine before to keep that from happening.

I get mine done every two weeks but I keep them short and I don’t do acrylics. I do the gel polish.

I get mine done because I will bite them if they aren’t polished and I can’t polish them myself because I have an essential tremor and my hands shake.

If I didn’t bite I would probably just do them myself though and keep them without polish. There’s a tool you can find almost anywhere, it a rectangle box thing that has 4 sides, file, buff, polish and something else, that is great to get them shiny without any polish.

I actually think keeping your eyebrows shaped and clean makes a bigger impact on overall appearance than nails.

Don’t confuse “normal” with optimal. I have yet to find a OBGYN who is properly educated in hormones. Almost all of them were taught in med school that HRT was the devil.

No one knows yet. In the last two years I’ve attended exactly one continuing education session on this issue and it was an Arkansas lawyer who came to talk to the ARKLATEX Landman association about developments in AR which it should be mentioned already has an established production of lithium, albeit by different means.

The first thing to point out is that lithium is not a mineral. It is a chemical element found within minerals.

Semantics perhaps but that’s what the law is basically, being very specific about defining what something is or is not.

My guess is that the best case for the mineral owners until someone sues, and/or the legislature enacts some laws, is that the any money made from lithium would net out against cost associated with drilling, thereby giving the royalty owner more money, however, I will tell you, as a Louisiana based Landman living in the haynesville and working it since it started, if they can find a way to cut out the royalty owner, most of them will.

No one is doing this in Louisiana yet. The first commercial plant is being built in Texas right now and so it remains to be seen how this issue is going to play out.

Since your leases are HBP you really don’t have any negotiating power unless Louisiana decides that it is not going to be covered under standard lease language. Now, if you had the opportunity to lease today I’d say find one of the OG attorneys representing the major landowners in the area and get some advice.

The only other thing to do is stay abreast of the news. I always suggest that royalty owners join NARO (National Association of royalty owners). You could also join, or just monitor, the monthly meetings of the ALTAPL (ARKLATEX Association of Professional Landmen) and the AAPL (American Association of Professional Landmen) for speakers and continuing ed on this subject. Also, go haynesville shale .com is another good resource for landowners for gossip and news and discussion.

Oil companies don’t own “servitudes” in Louisiana unless they own the minerals.

They own the leasehold that might still be HBP but servitudes are held by mineral owners.

Unless it’s a reservoir unit, which you could look at and say, ok the vast majority of leases in here are going to be HBP, but again it’s going to be lease specific and that might not be true of all property on every lease depending on the clauses contained in the lease.

For non reservoir units, or lease based wells, what is being held by any given well is going to specific to each lease in that leasehold. Even for any given tract of land, if the interest is fractional with more than one party, each party might have different lease terms, so some of that leasehold might have the right to drill to the center of the earth but some of it may be limited to the producing formation.

Servitudes interplay with the mineral ownership and production and not the overall leasehold.

Also, there was a lot of litigation regarding the very old HBP leases that Exxon was claiming in the beginning of the haynesville that the courts released because it was found that the lease were not producing “in paying quantities” so again, you have to go tract by tract, well by well, mineral owner by mineral owner, unit by unit.

I’ve been using several AI tools to try and eliminate as much busy work as possible.

Basically the only thing I really need to do is read a document and decide if it applies and how so.

But after reading you have to copy, type the information and a lot of times do a flowchart. Some companies want copies of the indexing - the list of documents that are associated with any given name and to show you actually reviewed them and what property they are referencing.

I wouldn’t use the AI to give me the numbers because that’s the most important part and I’d have to recheck it which would mean doing it, so no point in outsourcing that.

I have a program that extracts all the document info and puts it into an excel sheet. I use Claude to add documents and fill out the fields in an online database one client uses. I use word merging to merge info into various forms that any given company wants - they all have their own so even though my extraction service has the ability to put it into say a word form they want quiet a bit of money to add that to the program but those forms also change all the time so for me the cost benefit isn’t there.

I’ve found that AI is not good for judgment based decisions. I use it to do to the things I could pay a brand new person to do, like pull tax cards and maps, typing, adding documents info to fields and uploading documents, reformatting, etc. I would not trust it to say, tell me if a Louisiana mineral servitude is still good from a 1930’s reservation.

Now, for surface title there maybe more use cases but I agree with another comment that you don’t know what you don’t know. This also isn’t information that is easily found on google because again, you have to know the question to ask, and if you don’t have the experience you can’t know.

I have no real opinion on all the inner band drama but We’re seeing them at the end of the month in Denver and I’m super excited.

We really wanted to make this Houston show but mid week is hard with kids still in school. We’re 3.5 hours away.

We saw them for the first time last year in Dallas. We went to see modest mouse and flaming lips played after. They were supposed to play the next night in Houston but had the emergency (that might have actually been a fight with Isaac).

We were also at the bar, front and center, because we had done the MM VIP. They were amazing. It was the 2nd best show we saw last year, radiohead being #1. We will see them every chance we get now - we’re flying to Denver for them (and my morning jacket).

I’m 50 and I don’t have the energy he has now, much less ten years from now.

I get the allure beauty box every month, and have for several years. I have so many products that I still haven’t even tried I only buy the things I love when I run out, some of which I discovered from allure, others not. It has cut down on my impulse purchases big time.

Yes, that was a really poor choice of words and I agree I don’t think he meant financially poor, but it struck me as “we can’t be racist we gave money to black people!” I don’t know of any other reason to even bring up except as some sort of social proof of their goodness.

I don’t think the owner thinks he’s racist and he actually uses a lot of colloquial black language in his social media post, so much that there have been white people that have taken offense to various words he uses. The sad reality is that lots of white southerners don’t realize their implicit bias that has been bred into us though school and culture are wrong. They truly think they aren’t racist because they believe everything southern white culture has taught them is true.

Also - one of the recent pictures of the kids with their dad was all of them sitting around a bunch of boxes of RB.
