Oil & Gas Activity in Bandera County
Bandera County has 28 oil & gas wells on record with the Railroad Commission of Texas — minimal oil-and-gas activity (#235 of 254 counties). Light oil-and-gas development generally means a cleaner surface and a simpler mineral picture, though you should still verify mineral ownership on any tract.
Counts are approximate, drawn from public RRC records, and include active and plugged wells. Not a substitute for a title or mineral search.
Non-Native & Exotic Wildlife in Bandera County
Free-ranging exotics have been recorded in Bandera County: Axis deer (chital) and Blackbuck. These are citizen-science observations — they indicate presence, not population, and may include high-fenced animals, so absence of records is not proof a species is absent. For hunters, it places Bandera County within established exotic range.
