Highlight
Under the abandoned mineral statutes, a surface owner is required to conduct a reasonable inquiry only if the mineral owner's address does not appear of record, even if the surface owner knows the mineral owner whose address appears of record is deceased.
The notice provisions of the abandoned mineral statutes are constitutional under the due process clause.
