This time, the environmental nazis managed to get a federal court to rule against drilling for oil and gas in northern Michigan on 3 acres of a tract of land measuring almost 6000 acres, in large part because it might hurt the Kirtland’s Warbler, a small bird which is apparently more important to environmental whackos [...]

Apparently in Texas a land owner only owns the rights to the surface of his or her land. Somebody who owned the land 100 years ago may own the mineral rights.
The oil companies use this as a way to drill on our land without our permission.
What I’m wondering is what gives them the right [...]
As a land owner that does not own the mineral rights to said land, what rights do I have in regards to an Oil Company placing an oil or gas well on my property. Is there a required distance from a dwelling? Is there compensation for surface usage of the property.
