Final Signing Day – Tuesday, March 11, 2008 – 5:00pm to 8:00pm

The final signing day for Neighborhood Group will be held on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 between the hours of 5:00pm and 8:00pm. Pleasantview Baptist Church has once again graciously agreed to host this signing meeting in their gymnasium.

Don’t forget to bring a copy of your survey showing your property’s lot lines. With this you can request to have the acreage to your property recalculated to include the area to the middle of the street.

Please bear in mind that if you opt for this property recalculation Paloma does not perform this readjustment at the signing meeting.  Before signing your lease papers, tell the agent you speak with that you want to have your property recalculated.  Paloma will take your survey copy and your unsigned lease packet back to their office to make the necessary corrections.

Since this will be the last signing day, your gas lease transaction will need to be completed either in person at their office or via mail. This is how that would take place:

1. In Person: If you opt to complete this transaction in person, allow a few days for Paloma to complete the recalculation. Call their offices and inquire if your recalculation is complete. If so, you can go to their office in downtown Ft. Worth and sign the papers and receive your payment voucher.
2. By Mail: If you opt to finish the paperwork via mail (or a package delivery service such as UPS or FedEx) then you must wait for Paloma to complete the recalculation. Once done, they will mail your lease packet to you showing any readjusted acreage amount. You would then need to sign the paperwork according to their instructions.  Note: some of the forms you will be signing require that you get them notarized first.  You will need to find your own notary to do this. Once the paperwork is complete then you would mail or ship this signed lease packet back to Paloma’s office.

Paloma’s offices are located at:  1200 Summit Ave., Suite 860, Fort Worth, TX 76102

Their telephone number is 817-332-4900

Next Signing Day – Tuesday, February 26, 2008 – 5:00pm to 8:00pm

Just a reminder about the signing meeting tomorrow.

When: Tuesday, February 26, 2008
Time: 5:00pm to 8:00pm
Where: Pleasantview Baptist Church
Who: All property owners in Neighborhood Group (Green, Red and Blue groups all welcome)

Please bring a copy of your survey showing the lot lines to your property if you have one. Be advised that Paloma does not have the tools to recalculate property acreage size on the spot. They will need to take your unsigned lease packet back to the office to perform the recalculation. I believe they may call you once the recalculation is completed.

If the recalculation is done early enough Paloma should have these recalculated lease packets available to be picked up at the next signing meeting which will be sometime in early March (details forthcoming).

If you wish to complete the transaction before that next signing meeting in early March, you may opt to go to Paloma’s office in Fort Worth to sign your gas lease papers. Just be sure that you have confirmed with Paloma that your lease packet and survey recalculation (if you provided them one) is completed.

A third option is to let Paloma know that you want them to mail your gas lease packet to your mailing address for signing. If you opt for this approach please remember that some of the papers in the lease packet will need to be notarized. Read the instructions carefully.

Announcing Two New Signing Dates – Feb. 23 and Feb. 26

Here are the new dates for the two rescheduled gas lease signing meetings:

Saturday, February 23, 2008 2:00pm – 5:00pm
Tuesday, February 26, 2008 5:00pm – 8:00pm

The signings will once again be at Pleasantview Baptist Church.  Paloma has promised that they will be completely prepared this time.  Let’s hope that is true.  I will be expecting it and I know you will, too.

[Canceled] Next Signing Day – Tuesday, February 19, 2008

[Update: The reminder I just posted this afternoon had to be rescinded due to the fact that Tuesday’s signing day will be rescheduled as soon as possible. I apologize for any confusion and inconvenience as a result of this late development. -RG]

This is to let the Neighborhood Group members know that the next signing day will be tomorrow – Tuesday, February 19, 2008 – from 5:00pm to 8:00pm announced in an upcoming post.

Since the GREEN Group‘s signing day last Saturday was canceled, this will be their first opportunity to sign their leases. However, anyone in the RED Group or Blue Group who missed their originally scheduled signing days is welcome to show up tomorrow at the next signing meeting, too. Paloma will have your lease packets ready.

Like previous signings, this one will be held at Pleasantview Baptist Church.

Don’t forget to bring a copy of your property survey if you have one.

Tip: Bring a survey of your property to signing, if you have one

In light of the fact that land companies and their agents process a great number of gas leases every month, it would be beneficial if you brought a copy of a survey of your property, if you have one. 

Paloma measures the plats of land from the TAD records to arrive at your property’s size.  By having a survey handy at signing you can double check their figures and see if the measurements match up with those on your survey.

BLUE Group signing day tomorrow; unsigned RED Group members welcome, too

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 is the gas lease signing day for the BLUE Group members of Neighborhood Group.  The signing will be held from 5:00pm to 8:00pm at Pleasantview Baptist Church.

The BLUE Group includes the following subdivisions:

Bretts Court Addition
Coronet Estates
FoxFire
Oak Country Addition
T.E. Kelly Addition
School Hill Addition
Park Run
Park Chase

Please read the statement from Paloma Resources linked below that contains a summary of what to bring and what to expect once you arrive.

Paloma Resources Statement – What to expect, what to bring and helpful advice

In addition, any one who has property in the RED Group who still has not signed is welcome to come tomorrow and sign at that time.   Even if you were not a part of our group originally, if you have property in this area and have not yet signed a gas lease, you are welcome to come out and sign on tomorrow.

As a reminder, the subdivisions in the RED Group are:

Hialeah
McKamy Oaks
Laguna Village
I Earls Addition

We ask that members in the GREEN Group please wait until their scheduled signing day (Tuesday, Feb. 16th) to show up to sign leases. Thank you.

What if I can’t make it to my subdivision’s signing day?

As you know by now, the Neighborhood Group signings will take place by subdivsion groups.  I’ve named them the RED, BLUE and GREEN Groups to make it somewhat easier to remember what group your subdivision belongs to.

I’ve received a few emails from folks asking what to do if they cannot make it to their group’s scheduled signing meeting.   First, don’t panic.   On Tuesday, February 19, 2008 between 5:00pm and 8:00pm, there will be a signing meeting for all the persons who were unable to make their originally scheduled signing date.   This signing meeting will take place at Pleasantview Baptist Church like the previously scheduled signings.

Regardless of whether you are in the RED, BLUE or GREEN group,  if you cannot make your original signing date, you will be able to attend the “catch-all” signing meeting on Feb. 19.   You don’t have to call Paloma to re-schedule.  Simply show up on that date and Paloma will have your lease packet ready to be signed.

RED Group signing day is today – Thursday, Feb. 7, 2008

If you own property in one the following subdivisions you are in the RED Group and today is your gas lease signing date.  The signing times are from 5:00pm to 8:00pm at Pleasantview Baptist Church – 4400 Pleasantview Drive, located on the I-20 service road between Kelly Elliot Rd and Park Springs Blvd.

Subdivisions in the RED Group are:
Hialeah
McKamy Oaks
Laguna Village
I Earls Addition
