Texas HB4511 establishes rules for wind energy rights and agreements, including recording requirements and liability for failure to record.

Texas HB4511 creates a new chapter in the Utilities Code addressing wind energy rights and agreements. It defines a wind energy right as separate from the surface estate and allows for its transfer, encumbrance, or modification. Wind energy agreements, which can be leases, licenses, or easements, must be recorded in the county clerk's office where the land is located. If not recorded, the agreement is void for third parties. The county clerk must index these agreements.
