California Coffee firm to land in Northlake Farmer Bros. Co., a coffee roaster and distributor, moved a step closer to setting up shop in Northlake, thanks to Denton County commissioners’ approval of tax abatements for the company. Company officials look to finalize negotiations with the town of Northlake and the county and move their corporate headquarters from Torrance, California, to Denton County, bringing 300 new jobs. “We’re ecstatic,” Northlake
Mayor Peter Dewing said. “I think it’s a positive catalyst for additional economic growth for Northlake and the entire region down at Texas Motor Speedway because of our low tax rate and policies put in place.” Dewing said he has been trying to get businesses like Farmer Bros. in his town since 2008. One of the Town Council’s themes has been to control growth and developers, not the other way around, he said. Town officials have agreed to offer Farmer Bros. 75 percent in real property tax abatement for 10 years, 85 percent business personal property tax for 10 years and $1,000 per job created, up to 307 jobs.
Rain tops off lakes For the past five years, low lake levels have kept many boaters and water skiers away. As the water receded farther from the shorelines of area lakes, fields of vegetation grew amid the stagnant water, keeping swimmers at bay. This time last year, Lewisville Lake was nearly 8 feet below conservation levels or capacity, according to data provided by the Army Corps of Engineers. The drought was being felt all across Texas — in Wichita Falls, for instance, lake levels dropped to 20 percent capacity. After a week of downpours in North Texas in late April, Corps of Engineers officials in Lewisville report lake levels across this part of the country are reaching capacity — and in some cases exceeding it. Levels at Ray Roberts Lake were just about a foot below normal, while levels at Lewisville Lake were 2 feet over capacity. The Corps of Engineers is releasing water downstream from Lewisville Lake, trying to keep the lake level around 522 feet above sea level, John Mathney, a ranger for the corps, said. It’s now at approximately 524 feet. Monitored water supply reservoirs were 73 percent full as of April 27, according to data provided by the Texas Water Development Board. This is good news for lakeside businesses like Pier 121 Marina, on the southeastern end of Lewisville Lake.
The National Weather Service in Fort Worth, however, warns the drought isn’t over yet, and the recent rains bombarding the area are not out of the ordinary for spring.
Denton bars must clear air with expanded ban A deeply divided City Council slogged through several amendments and procedural moves before voting 5-2 to expand Denton’s smoking ban to ecigarettes and similar devices. The ban also extends to all bars, with some getting until the end of 2017 to comply. Council members Joey Hawkins and John Ryan opposed expanding the ban. Council member Greg Johnson said he was voting for the expanded ban only after negotiating for amendments that softened the blow to existing bar owners. He said he believed some bar owners made investments in their property thinking they had an exemption, since they brokered a compromise two years ago in the original ban on smoking in many public places. Any bars that have patios will have about 120 days to put an end to indoor smoking. Bars that don’t have patios will have until the end of 2017 to comply, in
order to give them a chance to rework their business plans. Those smoking bars also will have new signage requirements until they comply. The council also reinstated a restriction prohibiting smoking within 30 feet of an entrance. The requirement addresses concerns that smokers might simply step outside a bar in dense areas, such as downtown, and create a public nuisance. No one will be allowed to use e-cigarettes or similar devices any place that smoking is banned. Nor will vapor shops and other retailers be allowed to sell e-cigarettes and similar devices to minors.
Denton to start up NORML subchapter Grassroots organizations such as the Marijuana Policy Project, the Drug Policy Alliance and the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) have appeared in the national spotlight promoting the medicinal and economic benefits of marijuana reform. Now, NORML has come to Denton to organize residents and community leaders to help pass what members call “common sense reform” in Texas.
Denton NORML, a subchapter of DFW NORML, held its inaugural meeting in April on the Square, drawing more than 100 people. Caroline Turner, 19, and Marshall Williams, 20, formed Denton NORML because they want to remove the taboo associated with marijuana.
Report: Coach resigns over alleged relationship A Denton High School assistant football coach resigned after he was put under investigation for an improper relationship with a student, according to WFAA-TV (Channel 8). The name of the coach was not released. There were 15 assistant football coaches listed on the Denton school district site. The Denton Record-Chronicle reported April 18 that the Denton police and Denton school district officials were investigating allegations of an improper relationship between an educator and a student. Officer Ryan Grelle, spokesman for Denton police, said the department was made aware of the alleged improper relationship April 16 after a school resource officer spoke to a district employee.

What’s the deal with oil prices? “I can assure you that $65 per barrel is an insufficient price to maintain global oil production at anywhere near current levels. I can also assure you that markets work.” — Rick Rule, commodities investor
A
few weeks ago we hosted our biennial partner meeting in Denton. It was a great weekend of fellowship, camaraderie and reconnecting with partners from across the country. We also talked business, and one of the major topics of discussion was the recent stress in oil markets. For those who have not been paying attention, oil prices plunged nearly 60 percent between June and March, dragging the entire oil and gas sector down with it. Since March, prices have rallied a bit, but the outlook for oil is all over the place. T. Boone Pickens says $90 oil is coming soon, while gloom-anddoomers are calling for $30 oil. In response to this lack of consensus, we often were asked what modeling assumptions we use when analyzing portfolio holdings whose prospects are linked to a commodity price that no one can predict. We thought our readers might appreciate a more thorough lens into our lattice of mental models. Our primary principle is that supply and demand balance. Not exactly, not every day, but over time this fundamental law of economics drives long-term economic realities. So what’s been happening with supply and demand in the oil market lately? After many years of demand outpacing supply, which is a natural levitator for oil prices, supply began to outpace demand in 2014 largely due to the efforts of the U.S. shale revolution. In a recent presentation by Schlumberger, one of the world’s leading energy services companies, we see that dramatic capital investment in U.S. shale fields has resulted in new supplies, offsetting underinvestment and production declines in the rest of
Jonathon FITE | the world. This new supply has resulted in roughly 1 million to 2 million barrels per day of excess capacity that the market has had to absorb. In the grand scheme of things, this only represents about 1 to 2 percent of “excess supply” given the average worldwide demand of roughly 92 million barrels per day. More interestingly, U.S. shale production tends to have much more severe decline curves — typically declining 80 percent in the first year vs. 5 to 10 percent from other sources. Yet, while this excess supply was fundamentally more tenuous, the 2014 shift from an undersupplied to an oversupplied market resulted in lower oil prices. When OPEC ministers announced they would not support prices by cutting back on production, prices really swooned, and shale players immediately began scaling back. A recent report by Baker Hughes shows the plunge in oil prices led to a swift and dramatic curtailment of new drilling activity in the U.S. As a result of this massive pullback in drilling investment, the U.S. Energy Information Administration is forecasting supplies to come closer into balance with demand later this year. But given that this is just another forecast, how does this have any credence? This leads us to our second major price-balance framework: marginal cost. In markets that are generally balanced, the price is typically set by the marginal producer. According to Energy Aspects, an independent research consultancy, the marginal cost of pro-
ducing the next barrel of oil is a little over $70 per barrel. So, if we could keep producing the oil we have already found, oil prices stabilizing somewhere in the mid-70s seems like a reasonable assumption. Interestingly, if you observe the oil futures market, this is roughly in line with the late 2015/early 2016 oil futures contract. The problem is that every barrel of oil that is produced eventually needs to be replaced. So, marginal production costs are a key input to short-term price realities. But over a longerterm view, marginal costs must be supplemented with an understanding of the costs to replace oil reserves consumed each day. Fortunately, this data is readily available to analysts interested in such minutia. Complementary reports from industry analysts like Howard Weil, accounting firm Ernst & Young or Southern Methodist University studies all point to replacement costs between $20 and $30 per barrel. Ignoring the fact that Schlumberger shows each new barrel is harder to find than the last (more intense, more complex, etc.), it is easy to see how prices could converge over the long run back toward $100 per barrel to account for the costs of finding, development and production, plus room for a modest return on investment. The linkage of replacement costs to marginal production costs helps shape our fundamental perspectives of stabilized price dynamics. As value investors, we tend to focus on tangible, fundamental drivers of price and value, even in the oil market. But given the highly politicized role that oil plays on the world stage, we also must acknowledge the variety of other factors that may impact price. Let us explore a few of them here. First, most of the world’s oil does not reside in friendly places. Most rests in lands highly contested by regional or sectarian adversaries. Saudi Sunnis are no fans of Iranian Shias. Russian-
David Minton/DRC file photo
A natural gas drilling site is pictured at Bonnie Brae Street and Scripture Street in 2010 in Denton. backed Syrians are a thorn in the side of a U.S. administration that has failed to oust a regime that consistently crosses “red lines.” If the world stage is viewed as a chessboard, it is clearly seen how lower prices in the near term help some players (a struggling Europe that imports tons of oil, a slowing China trying to avoid a “hard landing,” a dying Japan trying to print its way back to prosperity — all major buyers of U.S. debt), and hurt others (an aggressive Russia, an instigating Iran, an annoying Venezuela). So while Saudi Arabia may have myriad geopolitical motivations to keep oil prices low for a while, the Kingdom is one of many nations that rely on high oil prices to support regimes currently in power. It is much easier for Vladimir Putin to control the Kremlin, for the grand cleric to manipulate Iran and for the 15,000 Saudi princes to maintain their lavish lifestyles if high oil prices can be sustained. According to Deutsche Bank, many countries need prices well above $100 per barrel to balance their budgets and sustain the fiscal programs many in their society have come to expect. These leaders remember well what a little unrest can boil into (hello, Arab Spring), and few want to tempt trouble for too
long. Finally, while we never count on such events, it is also clear that the tensions in these regions could flare up at any time: a border crossed, a refinery taken, a pipeline sabotaged. Any of these events would reinsert a geopolitical premium into oil markets that seem to have forgotten the risks. So, during the throes of oilprice panic in late 2014 and early 2015, we grounded our analyses in these market realities. Next month, we will delve into company-specific aspects that investors must consider when looking at the oil and gas arena, including cost management, reserve quality, insider alignment, balance sheet strength, capital allocation prowess and long-term growth prospects that make potential investments compelling.

Cac Lam, right, screams for beads during a Mardi Gras parade in Dallas. Lam has bright blue hair while the person next to her has green hair. The hair color category is the largest single business for Denton-based Sally Beauty Holdings.
Hair color brightens Sally sales By Maria Halkias | The Dallas Morning News Between more baby boomers turning gray and younger generations embracing brilliant neon dyes, the hair color category is performing nicely for Dentonbased Sally Beauty Holdings. Hair color is Sally Beauty’s largest single business — “a great differentiator” for the retailer and distributor of professional beauty supplies, CEO Chris Brickman said. The company reported a 5 percent increase in secondquarter profit, but sales missed analysts’ forecast as the strong dollar had a negative effect on
results. Spring is a big season for nails, and Sally Beauty just finished installing larger nail studio display walls in all of its U.S. stores. But a lack of innovation this year in electrical appliances such as hair dryers and flat irons created a drag on sales, he said. Last year got a bounce from a new curling iron that sucks up long, straight hair and releases continuous curls like magic. The company plans to remodel 520 stores by June 1 and 500 more by the end of Novem-
ber, Brickman told analysts during a conference call. Sally Beauty reported a profit of $61.5 million, or 39 cents per share, in the period that ended March 31, compared with a profit of $58.5 million, or 35 cents a share, a year ago. Total sales were up 2 percent, from $919.5 million to $937.8 million. The negative impact from the strong dollar was about 2.3 percent of sales. Same-store sales increased 2.8 percent. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected the company to report a profit of 39 cents a share and a total sales increase of
3.3 percent to $949.8 million. The company’s wholesale business had a better sales gain of 4.5 percent vs. the company’s retail stores, which posted a 0.4 percent increase. Sally Beauty is extending e-commerce capabilities to its wholesale business that caters to professional stylists and salons, Brickman said. The retail side has a lot of competition from chief rival Ulta Salon and stores such as Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens and CVS, where shoppers are already there for other reasons. J.C. Penney also sells the major brands of hair care products and has renewed its focus on its salon
business. Sally Beauty reported its earnings a day after it disclosed that it’s investigating unusual activity involving payment cards. The cards were used at some of its Sally Beauty stores in the U.S. during the week of April 27. It was the second time the retailer reported an incident. In March 2014, Sally Beauty said it had discovered evidence that customer records were stolen and removed from its system. The number of files containing customer credit card information taken last year was less than 25,000, the company said.

What’s on Tap owner Brad Trapnell poses for a photo April 3 in Highland Village.
Expires 6/14/15
Corporate to craft By Adam Schrader | Neighborsgo Brad Trapnell spent 15 years working in corporate America. One day, he decided to quit and open the first craft beer bar in Highland Village dedicated to selling growlers — a “to-go” container for craft beer. “I joke to people that this is either my parachute or my ball and chain,” he said. “It was a big step off a cliff doing this. It was scary and exciting — and still is in a lot of ways — but making the step to do that was not easy.” But Trapnell didn’t want to work a desk job for the rest of his life. “It’s one of those things I look back on and am like, ‘Wow, I really did that? What was I thinking?’” he said. “It was a gutsy move.” Trapnell transitioned out of a job where he serviced loans on foreclosed properties last June. Many people probably thought he would return to the industry after starting his bar, which he calls What’s on Tap. But almost a year later, he has no interest in returning to his old life.
“When I come here in a What’s on Tap T-shirt, it still feels a little weird. But if corporate America wants to bring me back in, it will be kicking and screaming,” he said. “I met many great people, but I really didn’t want to do that my whole life.” Trapnell was born and raised in Irving but left for New York University to study urban planning. He graduated in 1998 and returned to the Dallas area for a job. He lived in a downtown Dallas loft and never thought he would live in the suburbs, he said, but then he met his wife, Patricia. They worked at the same company. He managed real estate owned by big banks and companies through foreclosure and often had to do inspections in the Highland Village area. After he proposed, they would drive around the Dallas-Fort Worth area looking for houses every weekend. One day, he had to inspect a building in the Highland Shores neighborhood of Highland Village. “It was an early spring morning; there was some fog that was lifting,” he said. “I saw the trees

The city of Denton is teaming with local companies for the Mayor’s Summer Youth Job Program, an initiative to create summer jobs for teenagers and young adults. The iniative isn’t the first of its kind, but it will be a first for the city. There’s a federal program underway called Summer Jobs+, which aims to connect businesses, nonprofits and governmental organizations with lowincome and at-risk youths for summer employment. The Denton Chamber of Commerce, Denton school dis-
trict and United Way of Denton County are among the partners working to provide 11 weeks of employment for youths ages 15 to 21. The program is set to begin June 8, and United Way community impact intern Kellie Morris said a list of participating busi-
nesses should be finalized by May 20. Morris said that since this is the program’s first run, only students from DISD and the district’s LaGrone Advanced Technology Complex will be selected. Counselors from each school
will choose qualifying students who have expressed interest in a summer job, Morris said. Those students will be matched to an employer that best fits their career goals. The goal of the initiative is to place young people in positions related to their career fields of interest to better prepare them for entering the workforce. Mark Pullam, assistant director of the Career Center at the University of North Texas College of Business, worked on the initiative through his involvement with the United Way. Typically, teenagers work
part-time positions at storefronts and restaurants because many large companies don’t hire people under 18. However, that doesn’t mean the experience isn’t valuable, Pullam said. “It’s about learning the importance of having a job, the soft skills of showing up on time and getting the job done, then learning how to manage the money that they’ve earned,” he said. Mayor Chris Watts said working when he was young taught him skills he carried into adulthood, such as being responsible and reliable and knowing how to manage a bank account.

Vivian Pham, 20, wipes down tables during her summer job at Yogurtland in Huntington Beach, Calif. The Golden West College student didn't work during high school. “To work was good for me to learn some basic life skills,” he said. That, in turn, helps the local economy, said Michael Seman, a senior research associate at UNT’s Center for Economic Development and Research. The iniative “is a great idea because a lot of what youth earn is disposable income, so it gets pumped right back into the economy,” Seman said. Watts said he wants to give young people a strong foundation early in life, whether their next step is college or a full-time job. He also wants to impact disadvantaged youths who may not otherwise receive career opportunities. The Denton school district and United Way agreed to participate since both already offer social services and job training programs, Watts said. This initiative, which Watts has been developing since getting elected, goes beyond existing help by involving local businesses. “It’s a real collaborative effort of the community,” he said. In 2014, the Texas Workforce Commission showed an increase in the unemployment rate for Denton County during the summer months. The rate jumped

programs, unemployment rates for youths are gradually decreasing. In July 2011, the youth unemployment rate was 18.1 percent. In July 2014, it was 14.3 percent. Watts said participating companies may be in need of regular seasonal help while others might create openings specifically for the city’s program. When forming the program, organizers looked to the summer employment program in Washington, D.C., which was started in the late 1970s. Traditionally, it’s been for unemployed youths between 14 and 21, but this year it expanded to include people as old as 24. Local companies help with Washigton’s iniative as well, according to http://dc.gov. They provide structured jobs and SUMMER | CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

short-term training and help in other ways. Peterbilt Motors Co. and Labinal Power Systems hosted an informational luncheon May 4 for businesses interested in the program. Others won’t be able to hire students but are looking for ways to help out. A representative from Acceleron Learning said the company would offer financial, legal and personal wellness educational videos. Flowers Baking Co. is one of
the businesses interested in the program. The company has found success when hiring high school students in the past, an employee said at the luncheon. Gary Henderson, president and CEO of United Way of Denton County, said the “collective impact initiative” gives all participants equal weight in decision-making processes. As the program unfolds, they’ll communicate to see what works and what doesn’t. “By the end of summer, we’ll have something really interesting to dissect,” he said.

told her it was the perfect community for them to grow their family. As Trapnell’s family grew, so did his taste for craft beer. “I remember back in New York, even getting Sam Adams was a treat,” he said. “But if you wanted better beer, it was often the imports — so I started drinking Newcastle and Boddingtons.” But it was never enough, so Trapnell started home brewing in 2007, making a handful of batches a year. “I used to think I wanted to start a brewery,” he said. “But that’s a whole different game and that was before there was a brewery in almost every town.” Part of the fun of brewing beer was being able to share it with his friends and educate people about craft beer. He figured that meant he should be in the industry still, just not as a brewer. “I’ve always liked promoting it,” he said. “So having a bar is more suited for me than a brewery.” Highland Village offers restaurants, liquor stores and grocery stores that sell craft beer — as well as bars. But none of the restaurants and bars offers beer to go, and the grocery stores, apart from Whole Foods, don’t allow consumption on the premises. “I always suspected this barretailer hybrid was something that would do well here. When we go out to places in Dallas, like Meddlesome Moth, my wife and I are always like, ‘How come they get all the cool stuff? Why can’t we get something like this where we live?’” What’s on Tap is legally not allowed to call itself a bar in Highland Village, Trapnell said. It also does not serve liquor. “This is a retail establishment with the take-out component that happens to allow drinking on the premises,” he said. “So I go to pretty good measures to call it a beer cafe.” He said growler carryout is a new thing in Texas. There aren’t many businesses operating with the model in southern Denton County. Other states, including Oregon and Georgia, have offered these “beer cafes” for a
while, he said, but “they’ve really proliferated and Texas is ripe for that.” About two years ago, Trapnell and his wife visited Craft and Growler in Dallas — the seed that planted the idea of focusing on growlers in Highland Village. He researched the demographics of his market area and they matched up with data on people known to buy craft beer. And then What’s on Tap became a reality, he said. “But more than anything, it was a wing and a prayer because there really is no data out there for what these growler stores do in sales,” he said. “At least in Texas.” Even during construction, the community responded. People were excited, he said. Matt Howard, 23, previously worked at Whip In Mini-Mart — another craft beer retailer. Now, Howard works at What’s on Tap, his next step to breaking into the craft beer industry. Having craft beer retailers, especially those focusing on growlers, is important for southern Denton County, he said. “We just make sure everyone else has a great experience with craft beer, bringing people new things and helping them experience new beer,” he said. What’s on Tap opened Feb. 16 in a new development on FM407, just a mile from the Shops at Highland Village. The 1,500-square-foot beer cafe at 2570 FM407, Suite 170 in Highland Village offers 36 rotating draft taps. Some of the taps are designated for non-alcoholic offerings like kombucha and root beer. “This isn’t the place you’re going to go to get a six-pack of beer, but we’ll have some rare and hard-to-find beer,” he said. “But draft is always better than canned beer, and growlers allow you to take the fresh, off-the-tap taste home with you.” The retail section sells 32and 64-ounce growlers, which can be filled, and refilled, from any of the 36 taps. Once filled, a growler is sealed with a cap, and when it’s reopened the user can enjoy the experience of a draft beer at home. What’s on Tap recently started selling bottles and cans — six-packs and bombers to go.

What’s on Tap sells growlers to fill up at the taps. Trapnell hopes the bar soon will start selling crowlers, which are essentially refillable cans of beer,
and high-end growlers, like stainless steel growlers or glass growlers with stainless steel
handles. “We loved the [beer] options but wish they had some more substantial food,” wrote customer Kathy Jo, a user in the Facebook group Flower Mound Cares. Because of many similar comments, Trapnell said he’s looking to expand current offerings to food and continue to meet increased demand. “I think I even underestimated the appetite for something like this in the area,” he said. “On weekend nights, we’re standing room only. Business is steady and solid throughout the week.”

Title insurance puts eye on minerals S
ince the early to mid-90s, the importance and value of minerals in North Texas have become clear. Where the surface of a property has been severed from the minerals underlying that property, serious problems can arise. The majority of purchasers of real estate want to utilize the surface of the property for a particular residential or commercial purpose. Because the minerals only have value when extracted from the land under which they sit, the rights of the mineral owner must supersede the rights of the surface owner. The mineral owner has a right to reasonably use the surface of the land to develop its minerals. That right can easily interfere and come into conflict with the rights of the surface owner. Owners and lenders must be aware of the potential interference of the surface by the mineral owner. State laws, local ordinances, specific mineral lease terms and court rulings may provide some protection against interference with the use of the surface estate by the mineral owner. Recently, Texas title insurance has changed to provide some protection in certain situations. Where the surface use is paramount to the value of the land, such as an office building,
Scott ALAGOOD | retail center, single-family residence, apartment complex, warehouse, manufacturing plant or other surface-intensive use, a prospective purchaser or lender may want to consider utilizing one of the T-19 endorsements to insure potential damage to the surface resulting from the development of the mineral estate. The T-19 endorsements consist of four separate endorsements. The T-19 Restrictions, Encroachments, Minerals Endorsement may be utilized by a lender. The T-19 provides other coverages beyond interference by the mineral estate. With respect to the mineral estate, it insures the lender against loss sustained by reason of damage to an “improvement” located on the property on the date of the policy or existing thereafter resulting from the exercise of a right to use the surface of the property for the extraction or development of minerals. “Improvement” is defined as
an improvement that constitutes real property and includes landscaping, lawn, shrubbery or trees that are affixed to the insured property. The T-19 endorsement cost is 5 percent of the basic premium for residential property and 10 percent for commercial property, not to be less than $50. The T-19.1 Restrictions, Encroachments, Minerals Endorsement may be obtained by an owner. As with the T-19 endorsement, the T-19.1 also protects against matters other than interference by the mineral estate. With respect to the mineral estate, it insures the owner against loss sustained by reason of damage to an improvement located on the property on the date of the policy or existing thereafter resulting from the exercise of the mineral owner’s rights (same as the T-19). However, the definition of improvement in the T-19.1 is different than that in the T-19. The T-19.1 provides coverage for buildings, structures, roads, walkways, driveways or curbs that constitute real property, but excludes crops, landscaping, lawns, shrubbery or trees. The T-19.1 endorsement cost is 10 percent for a residential property or 5 percent if purchased along with the survey exception amendment (which is 5 percent), and 15 percent for a commercial property or 10 per-
“The mineral owner has a right to reasonably use the surface of the land to develop its minerals. That right can easily interfere and come into conflict with the rights of the surface owner. Owners and lenders must be aware of the potential interference of the surface by the mineral owner.” cent if purchased with the survey exception amendment (which is 15 percent for a commercial policy). As with the T-19, the minimum premium for the endorsement is $50. If an owner or lender is not interested in the additional coverages provided by the T-19 and T-19.1 endorsements (beyond that provided by the mineral estate) or if the price tag for those endorsements is too steep, then a T-19.2 or T-19.3 endorsement may be the way to go. These two endorsements generally insure against damage resulting from the development of the mineral estate. However, they differ in a few ways. The T-19.2 insures against damage to “permanent improvements (excluding laws, shrubbery, or trees)”, while the T-19.3 insures against damage to “permanent buildings.” In essence, the T-19.2 will provide more coverage for damage to permanent buildings and other im-
provements, where the T-19.3 will only insure damage to permanent buildings. Additionally, the T-19.2 may only be issued for real property of one acre or less improved or intended to be improved for oneto four-family residential use, or for real property improved or intended to be improved for office, industrial, retail, mixed use or multifamily purposes. Where the property is not of the type allowed under the T-19.2, the T-19.3 may provide mineral coverage for permanent buildings. Both the T-19.2 and T-19.3 endorsements may be issued for either an owner’s or lender’s policy. For a residential or commercial owner’s policy, the endorsement cost is $50. There is no cost to include either endorsement in a lender’s policy. While a title insurance underwriter is not legally required to issue these endorsements, in most situations they will. So don’t be afraid to ask for the additional coverages provided by these endorsements where it may be appropriate.
