For accredited investors only. Minimum investment: $50k
Are you a high income professional, looking for smarter ways to protect your wealth?
The Texas Freedom Fund gives you the opportunity to invest in energy assets leveraging proven fracking technology and prime access to global markets.
With strategic oil and gas investments you can build real wealth while benefiting from tax advantages under laws dating back to the Reagan era.
We help high-income professionals and accredited investors diversify into real Texas energy assets designed to produce monthly income, deliver significant tax benefits, and hedge against inflation.
Texas energy assets sit at the center of three undeniable global trends: rising American energy demand, the explosive growth of the middle class worldwide, and the massive surge in power consumption driven by AI and data centers. As populations grow, economies expand, and AI infrastructure scales, the world needs more reliable baseload energy, not less. That’s why we focus on Texas oil and gas projects with strong production profiles and long-term demand fundamentals that don’t swing with market speculation.
Texas Freedom Fund provides access to premium oil & gas projects throughout Texas, leveraging proven operators, advanced drilling technology, and disciplined underwriting to target consistent, long-term performance.
How Texas Freedom Fund Works
On your first call we will cover
Our mission is simple:
We focus on deals that help investors:
You’re earning well, paying too much in taxes, and want assets that work harder than your W-2 income.
You have equities and real estate and want exposure to income-producing assets not tied to stock market volatility.
You’re focused on durable wealth, inflation protection, and assets with intrinsic value.
You prefer tangible ownership and disciplined capital deployment over speculation.
Our path into oil and gas investing didn’t start with a pitch deck or a fund launch.
It started at a lunch meetup we attended regularly for more than a decade.
During one of those lunches, an oil and gas sponsor stood up and explained how investors with high taxable income could use certain energy investments to offset a substantial portion of their active taxable income, not just passive gains.
We didn’t invest that day.
Instead, we spent years studying deal structures, tax treatment, operator track records, and risk profiles. We watched how different sponsors performed over time and how real cash flow behaved across market cycles.
When we finally invested, it wasn’t speculative. It was deliberate.
Over time, we invested more, refined our approach, and built long-term relationships with proven operators. What began as a single allocation became a core part of how we think about income, taxes, and durable wealth.
Texas Freedom Fund exists to share that disciplined, research-driven approach with accredited investors seeking tangible assets, tax efficiency, and long-term alignment.
You’re investing directly in working interests in producing wells, not speculating on stock prices. This provides tangible asset ownership, superior tax benefits through IDCs, and monthly cash flow distributions that stocks simply cannot offer.
This is an illiquid investment with capital typically returned around year 3. It’s designed for accredited investors with a 5-7 year time horizon seeking tax advantages and long-term wealth building, not short-term gains.
Investors must be accredited and commit a minimum of one share ($25K). The average working interest costs approximately $225K (under 5 shares). Maximum investment is 40 shares ($1M).
IDCs (Intangible Drilling Costs) can offset 70-85% of your investment against active taxable income in year one, with additional depletion allowances throughout the life of the well. We’ll provide detailed tax projections during your strategy call.
While oil price volatility is a risk, our focus on the Eagle Ford Shale with its proximity to Gulf Coast refineries and export capacity positions us well for sustained global demand. Major catastrophic risks are hedged with insurance and sponsor indemnification.
Distributions from producing wells are typically monthly, providing consistent cash flow while you maintain ownership of your working interest. Exact timing depends on production schedules and operator reporting.
All Investors Must be accredited investors.
Accredited investors are people allowed to invest in certain private offerings because they meet SEC financial requirements usually a $200k+ annual income or $1M+ net worth
The minimum investment is $50,000. Funds are typically deployed as quickly as possible and are usually placed within 4 months.
Oil and gas investments are structured to deliver both monthly cash flow and significant tax advantages. Investors generally receive distributions based on their ownership percentage once wells begin producing.
On the tax side, the IRS provides incentives such as Intangible Drilling Cost (IDC) deductions, which can offset active or earned income in the same year as the investment. Additional long-term benefits, including depletion allowances and depreciation, can further reduce taxable income over time.
Distributions are issued monthly.
Most projects are based in the Eagle Ford Shale, with select additional projects located in the Permian Basin.
