Landman Licensing Updated (March 8, 2009)

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 16:03:22 GMT

The following message was sent to the HAPL membership on March 8, 2009: Fellow HAPL Members, Thursday, March 5th, a HAPL Special Board Meeting was held to discuss HB 1405, the Landman Licensing Bill currently in committee before the Texas Legislature. Over the last two weeks your board has worked closely to assess the political climate surrounding this unfavorable bill for landmen. In doing so, we have visited with staff lobbyist from several large oil companies, TIPRO, TXOGA, Texas Real Association and members of the Texas Real Estate Commission. We have visited with numerous independent lobbyist and are in regular contact with AAPL, all in an effort to stay on top of this licensing issue. We are reminded of the outcome of our survey in November where our members expressed their opposition to licensing, let alone licensing under the Texas Real Estate Commission. Based on all the information we have gathered, we believe Mr. Charles Geren's bill to be a real threat to our...
