Why It Matters in Fort Stockton

Land, Leases and a Business on the Interstate

Pecos County is one of the largest counties in Texas, and much of it is ranch land. Owners may earn from cattle or sheep, from hunting and grazing leases and from oil and gas royalties, sometimes all on the same property. Each is reported differently, and some come with deductions such as depletion that are easy to overlook.

In town, many owners run a motel, restaurant, fuel stop or service company along I-10. Those businesses usually pass income through to the owner’s personal return, so preparing both together keeps the numbers consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Fort Stockton owners ask about tax preparation.

How is hunting lease income taxed?

It is taxable income, and how it is reported depends on how involved you are. Many landowners report it as rental income, while a lease operation that provides services may be treated as a business. We look at how yours is run and report it accordingly.

I have royalties and a ranch on the same land. Do they go on the same form?

Usually not. Royalties generally go on Schedule E with a depletion deduction, while ranch income goes on Schedule F or a business return. Keeping them separate makes sure each gets the deductions it is entitled to.

My motel is an LLC. Does it file a Texas return?

Texas has no personal income tax, but LLCs, corporations and partnerships still answer to the franchise tax. For 2026 and 2027, businesses with total revenue at or below $2.65 million owe no franchise tax, but they still file a Public Information Report or Ownership Information Report by May 15. Confirm current thresholds with the Texas Comptroller.

Do you need me to come to Odessa?

No. Most clients outside Odessa never make the trip. Documents come in through a secure upload and we review the return by phone or video. The office is about 85 miles north of Fort Stockton on US-385 and open by appointment.

How much does tax preparation cost?

Pricing depends on your entity type, transaction volume, and which services you need. We'll give you a flat quote after a short call, so there are no surprise invoices. Most business owners find the tax savings cover the fee.
