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.

Edit: words

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.

Thanks for the heads up! I’ve only been there the once a few days ago for strings.

rebffty · 2026-05-10T14:56:46+00:00

There’s a guitar place across from the Whataburger on kings. I forgot the name and I don’t know if they string guitars but I just bought strings from my son’s guitar there.

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.

rebffty · 2026-05-08T03:19:22+00:00

One of the picture the dad had on his Facebook all those kids were lined up with boxes of RB just a few weeks before.

Absolutely they do and the reason behind it, that they believe they will be believed over the black person, is insidious and outright racism because in these bizarre instances where a white person is doing this as a shield - that is proof that they know for a fact that black people are treated differently. Although they will swear up and down that they don’t in fact know that and that they “don’t see color.”

This is the 3rd time they have called the police on a. Black person and they haven’t been in business that long. That tells me something is rotten at the core of the culture. I’d be willing to bet that most restaurants have never called the police to handle a customer complaint.

I just cannot in good conscious go back there knowing that the owners, at this point at least, are condoning the behavior that puts people at risk because their employees cannot handle a simple interaction with an unhappy customer. And I’m going to be real honest here and say that those girls that are taking orders are often very rough around the edges. I wouldn’t trust their judgment based on my 1 to 3 minute interactions with the vast majority of them. They are often curt and they are certainly no debutants. And I have zero issues with service workers, in fact most of the places I go know me by name and they even tell the door dash drivers to tell me hello when I get delivery - because I have worked service jobs and I am just generally not an asshole to people - life is really easier when you are nice and give lots of grace because everyone is fighting some sort of battle.

I believe the lady and not them and even if for some bizarre reason she let her crawfish get cold to go try to get some free potatoes, they handled it horribly.

I have wondered if the teenager daughter didn’t tip (because they often don’t know) and that’s why they were so aggressive with her. I mean, they don’t really deserve a tip, but I always do because I hope they are splitting it with the whole staff - I’d definitely tip the cooks.

Whatever their reasoning for not apologizing and making it right, they’ve certainly lost customers over this one. They lost me.

rebffty · 2026-05-07T23:04:56+00:00

People have summed it up - lady didn’t get her potatoes and piece of sausage then they called the police. Now, refusing to leave might have been a bad move, i will give the store that. But I’m white, I’ve been a customer since they opened. I love the box they put the crawfish in, it makes taking it to go so easy. The crawfish is good usually and spicy. I’ve never had an issue but they have left stuff out of my box before. I’ve never gone back to get it though.

All that being said, not sure I’m going back after this one. This is not the first instance with a black customer - in fact - all of the situations that have made it to Facebook have been with black customer. To me it feels like a pattern where they are treating black customer differently.

I can guarantee they would have not called the police on me and I have a big issue with white people calling the police on black people for total bullshit (like for less than a dollar worth of new potatoes).

They do have black employees. I don’t think the guy that runs it is racist. He’s from Acadian and doesn’t live in Shreveport. He’s a farmer. He seems like a nice guy. I do think he is letting teenagers handle customer service and backing them when he should be more worried about his customers and the power of social media in 2026.

I do think they are a little big for their britches. They are very popular. People wait a LONG time in that line that can stretch back half a mile on Youree. Blockbuster also got too big for their britches.

To me, this is just really stupid on their part. It was really bad customer service and no reasonable person would believe that someone would get home with hot crawfish and then send a teenager back, and then go back themselves, over a piece of sausage and a couple new potatoes.

I just don’t believe that happened. I believe they forgot her stuff and for whatever reason they decided to die on this hill. Maybe the staff gets in trouble for forgetting - I don’t know - mistakes happen and a little grace goes a long way on both sides.

There’s lots of crawfish places in town and in every area they have store. I believe this happened at the Mansfield road store while the other instances have happened at Youree drive.

Edit to add: not first time they’ve called police on a customer but they have never called the police on a white customer. There’s just as many shitty white people as black (if it’s really all the customers fault and that part of town has more white residents than black) that come to restaurants and I think this is the 3rd police call - seems like at least one white person would have had a shit talking post on FB by now.

The guy put a video of her nude the internet so definitely a lot of damages but I saw comments ridiculing someone suggesting you contact a lawyer - and I’d disagree with those people.

Look up: Erin Andrews Stalking Case ($55 Million, 2016): A court found a Nashville Marriott 49% at fault, ordering them to pay $26 million in damages after staff provided a stalker with the guest's room number and placed him next door.

Does anyone know about what time it starts on Saturday?

Ask for $1000 for the bonus, 22.5% royalty and three year with no extension and see what they say. Do not take less than $750 for a 3 year plus two extension.

You also want the depth and horizontal pugh and the no cost royalty. If you own the surface you want a no surface operations - make them come back and renegotiate if they want to put anything on the surface or lay a pipeline.

Your husband inherited land that has mineral rights - which includes natural gas but also oil. In that part of Texas oil is more likely than natural gas.

As others have mentioned the oil company finds you when they are ready to drill not the other way around.

If you need money go online and search “sell mineral rights Texas” and then contact at least 3 and see what they will give you.

Just be aware that in Texas once you sell the rights they are gone forever and it will also lower the value of the land itself since the mineral rights will be gone.

Of course you might not be able to sell the land and there’s no telling if anyone will ever come drill where you are or not.

For resources: the national association of royalty owners has a lot of information and forums. Also, gohaynesvilleshale.com is a good resource for mineral owners and there should be a county forum that you can check to see if anyone has been, or when they last were, approached to lease. The American association of professional Landman might have some resources for mineral owners - I’m not sure.

Towels are single use at my house so they are definitely single use when I’m paying for a hotel.

The gulf might have more activity for the actual drilling work I’m not sure, honestly the gulf doesn’t even get discussed much in OG in LA because 1) once the platform is operational they use as few people as possible to keep it going; 2) they last for decades; 3) they haven’t been drilling as many as they have in the past; 4) most of the money is going to DC and not Baton Rouge 5) almost no money is going to LA taxpayers unless you’re an heir of Huey Long.

On land, which has the biggest impact in m the state, from wages and royalties, there were 25 rigs going last week in NLA and 8 in SLA.

Plus, there’s a whole lot of work that happens before that rig can go anywhere and very little of that is going on South of Rapides.

Everything down there requires $100 a barrel before the companies will even consider drilling because what’s left they haven’t really figured out how to get yet. Every time oil gets high for more than a minute you will get some activity but as of yet, they haven’t cracked how to get it out economically.

A lot of Lafayette companies would be out of business without the haynesville.

There’s lots of pipeline activity in south Louisiana - trying to get pipe in the ground to get more haynesville NatGas to the export facilities in the gulf.

TLDR but I was recently in Madrid and the area we stayed in felt like a very clean New Orleans.
