Legal Experts: Easement Allows Landowners to Stop Fracking. No Government Interference.

Experts: Stanford’s Earth science and environmental law experts

The legal recommendation to halt fracking: a conservation easement which they’ve named a mineral estate conservation easement (MECE) 

What’s not needed for a conservation easement:  government regulation

The property value impact of a MECE: the property value is diminished but offset by a tax write-off

Are MECEs permitted in Texas? Yes
