Why didn’t I receive a revenue check?

Typically, most owners have a minimum suspense threshold of $100 and will only receive a check when production sales are $100 or more. Any unpaid royalties remain in suspense until the next release of minimum suspense or whenever production sales total $100 or more. Endeavor typically releases minimum suspense once each calendar year. However, under Section 91.402(f) of the Texas Natural Resource Code, owners may request a lower minimum suspense threshold (see code below).

Section 91.402(f) of TNRC: Payment may be remitted to a payee annually for the aggregate of up to 12 months’ accumulation of proceeds if the payor owes the payee a total amount of $100 or less for production from all oil or gas wells for which the payor must pay the payee.  However, the payor may hold accumulated proceeds of less than $10 until production ceases or the payor’s responsibility for making payment for production ceases, whichever occurs first.  On the written request of the payee, the payor shall remit payment of accumulated proceeds to the payee annually if the payor owes the payee less than $10.  On the written request of the payee, the payor shall remit payment of proceeds to the payee monthly if the payor owes the payee more than $25 but less than $100
