According to a major partner of Susman Godfrey’s Dallas-based office, Daniel Charest, the mineral owners account for 4,000 acres and are seeking millions of dollars that are owed to them on their leases by Chesapeake.

The litigation was filed on Wednesday and it takes into account the Trinity Valley School that is located on 74 acres of land donated by Anne and Robert Bass. The complaint says that Chesapeake has violated conditions of the lease by underpaying on royalty fees from gas generated on the land of the plaintiffs. The majority of the land is located in Tarrant County.
