    A E&O nightmare coming to all realtors. Starting in Florida and may be in California, you just don’t know it yet. READ ALL SMALL PRINT IN THE TITLE REPORTS and CONTRACTS BEFORE YOU SIGN!

    In areas where there is a prospect for oil in Tx the mineral rights are retained and there is a waiver of surface rights granted. The folks making mortgages in Tx understand this. So if someone in Fl has a problem they should call a Tx bank for help. (I suspect an Ok bank would also understand). The question occurs however who pays if production results in a sink hole?
