The Texas Supreme Court has settled the issue of who owns the voids, known as salt caverns, created in subsurface salt formations (whether naturally occurring or caused as a result of salt mining operations). In Myers-Woodward, LLC v. Undergrounds Services Markham, LLC, the court affirmed the appellate court decision (previously reported on by Bracewell in a client alert on February 24, 2023), holding that surface owners, rather than mineral owners, own subsurface salt caverns.
