How it works
Title research that used to take days of pulling books at the courthouse, condensed into a single search.
The county record, digitized
Decades of recorded instruments — deeds, mineral deeds, probates, leases, assignments — are collected, read, and indexed down to the tract level.
Search any tract or owner
Type a legal description (section, township, range) or an owner's name. Mineral Truth pulls every document that touches that land or that party.
Chain of title, assembled
Conveyances are linked in order so you can follow ownership from early patents through today, with each step backed by the recorded document.
Answers you can verify
Every result traces back to the official record — book, page, and instrument — so you can confirm the chain yourself before you rely on it.
Built on the official record. Nothing else.
Mineral Truth doesn't guess. Every ownership answer is assembled from recorded instruments in the county record, and every link in the chain shows you the document behind it — so landmen, mineral owners, and operators can rely on what they see.
