Surveyed Characteristics of Non-Operating Landowners in Texas

A survey of producers and non-operator landowners in Texas yielded data on demographics, land holdings, assets, debts, transition plans, lease types, tenure of ownership, and more. This manuscript isolates and discusses the characteristics of non-operator landowners and their holdings in the state of Texas. This study is the first in a series of publications intended to characterize the needs of landowners and lessees in the state, as well as determine the educational and market needs of those stakeholders.
