Titan withdrew from another Rule 37 in Lewisville earlier this year. FMCAUD had committed to helping homeowners in all areas of North Texas protect their private property/mineral rights from confiscation by Titan Operating LLC. No matter what your opinions on other neighborhood gas drilling issues, the vast majority of Texans believe staunchly in individual private property rights. Rule 37’s are one of the most egregious threats to private property rights in Texas. Your only “choices” are to sign a lease against your will or likely have your property taken with no hearing to quantify and compensate you for the value of the property taken from you.
Approximately 1.6 million dollars of revenue is at stake. When there is that kind of money at risk, who wouldn't justify it with a little theft?

Titan BOD doesn't follow pesky rules like that.
FMCAUD, Thanks for all the info and hard work for the past 4 years. I have followed this blog from the beginning.
Although I am not very vocal and don't attend the meetings, that does not mean I don't know what is going on.
We may be affected in the future by a Rule 37 and I am glad that people like all of you care enough to help. I also to thank you for staying focused on ALL the issues and advocating better drilling practices.
Yes, thank you for keeping your eye on the ball and the issues at hand.
Maybe the next time I go to the convenience store, I'll just take a few smokes and as I'm walking out without paying I'll say to the cashier, "Don't worry, I'm filing a rule 37, you can't call the cops."
@Anonymous at 10:18 AM: Actually, you would never tell the cashier you were filing a Rule 37. If the police show up to arrest you they will just let you go since you are the Mafia, they know who you are and you do control the town.
Pretty funny how Cherokee Horn and Titan told us on no less than half a dozen times how the wells would be fracked and producing by [insert failed deadline date here] and they still haven't completed them. Incompetent Mafia who can't get stuff done when they say it seems.
