PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information that is presented in greater detail elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. You should carefully read the entire prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference before investing in our securities, including the sections titled “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” provided elsewhere in this prospectus. Some of the statements in this prospectus constitute forward-looking statements. See the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements.” Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “TPL,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this prospectus refer to Texas Pacific Land Corporation and our consolidated subsidiaries.

OUR BUSINESS

We are a Delaware corporation and one of the largest landowners in the State of Texas with approximately 868,000 surface acres of land in West Texas, principally concentrated in the Permian Basin. Additionally, we own a 1/128th nonparticipating perpetual oil and gas royalty interest (“NPRI”) under approximately 85,000 acres of land, a 1/16th NPRI under approximately 371,000 acres of land, and approximately 4,000 additional net royalty acres (normalized to 1/8th) (“NRA”), for a collective total of approximately 195,000 NRA all located in the western part of Texas.

The Company was originally organized as Texas Pacific Land Trust (the “Trust”) under a Declaration of Trust, dated February 1, 1888 (the “Declaration of Trust”), to receive and hold title to extensive tracts of land in the State of Texas, previously the property of the Texas and Pacific Railway Company. The Declaration of Trust provided for the appointment of trustees to manage the assets of the Trust with all of the powers of an absolute owner. On January 11, 2021, the Trust completed its reorganization from a business trust, Texas Pacific Land Trust, into Texas Pacific Land Corporation, a corporation formed and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Our surface and royalty ownership provide revenue opportunities throughout the oil and gas development value chain. While we are not an oil and gas producer, we benefit from various revenue sources throughout the life cycle of a well. During the initial development phase where infrastructure for oil and gas development is constructed, we receive fixed fee payments for use of our land and revenue for sales of materials (caliche) used in the construction of the infrastructure. During the drilling and completion phase, we generate revenue for providing sourced and/or treated produced water in addition to fixed fee payments for use of our land. During the production phase, we receive revenue from our oil and gas royalty interests and also revenues related to saltwater disposal on our land. In addition, we generate revenue from pipeline, power line and utility easements, commercial leases and temporary permits principally related to a variety of land uses, including, but not limited to, midstream infrastructure projects and processing facilities as hydrocarbons are processed and transported to market.

TPL’s mission is to pursue a thoughtful, long-term approach towards optimizing and building upon the commercial and environmental virtues of our extensive lands and resources. TPL has a long history of responsible management of its legacy assets, and in recent years, the Company has expanded its business strategy to generate incremental revenue streams that take advantage of the Company’s vast surface and royalty footprint, such as its investments in the Water Services and Operations business segment. Beyond TPL’s current businesses, the Company continues to explore new opportunities related to renewable energy, environmental sustainability, and technology, among others, that can leverage the already existing legacy surface and royalty assets. The Company’s business model emphasizes high cash flow margins and relatively low ongoing capital expenditure requirements, and new opportunities would generally be expected to align with these priorities. The Company remains focused on optimizing long-term value creation and profitability, fostering responsible stewardship of our assets, providing quality customer service, and engaging with and advocating for employee and stakeholder interests.

We operate our business in two reportable segments: Land and Resource Management and Water Services and Operations. Our segments provide management with a comprehensive financial view of our key businesses. The segments enable the alignment of strategies and objectives of the Company and provide a framework for timely and rational allocation of resources within businesses.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. In addition to the other information included in this prospectus or in any applicable prospectus supplement, you should carefully consider each of the risk factors set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q on file with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and any subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K we file after the date of this prospectus. The risks described are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we presently consider immaterial may also adversely affect our company. If any of the risks described occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part or your investment. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Various statements contained in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are indicated by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” “plan,” “intend” or “anticipate” or the negative thereof or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements represent as of the date of this prospectus our judgment relating to, among other things, future results of operations, growth plans, capital requirements and general industry and business conditions applicable to us. Such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those that are expressed in forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, a number of factors, such as:

Except as otherwise required to be disclosed in periodic and current reports required to be filed by public companies with the SEC pursuant to the SEC’s rules, we have no duty to update these statements, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks and uncertainties, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking information contained in this prospectus will in fact transpire.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

On March 26, 2024, the Company effected a three-for-one split of the Common Stock (the “Stock Split”), pursuant to which each holder of Common Stock of record at the close of business on March 18, 2024 received two additional shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held on that date. Trading of the Common Stock began on a stock-split adjusted basis on March 27, 2024.

The following selected financial data has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2024, as adjusted to reflect the Stock Split for all periods presented. See “Prospectus Summary – Our Business – Recent Developments – Stock Split.” Our historical results are not indicative of the results that may be expected in the future.

AS REPORTED (in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

AS ADJUSTED FOR THREE-FOR-ONE STOCK SPLIT (in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

USE OF PROCEEDS

Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, we expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities for working capital, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following summary description of our capital stock is not intended to be complete and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the Amended Certificate of Incorporation”) and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”).

General

We are authorized to issue 47,536,936 shares of capital stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 46,536,936 are designated as Common Stock and 1,000,000 are designated as preferred stock.

Common Stock

As of April 30, 2024, there were 22,989,755 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding, all of which were fully paid and nonassessable.

Voting Rights

Except as provided by law or in a preferred stock designation, holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held upon all matters which holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote, and the holders of shares of Common Stock have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters upon which the stockholders are entitled to vote. Holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock of TPL entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) (or any successor provision thereto), and no vote of the holders of either preferred stock or Common Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

Dividend Rights

Subject to the rights and preferences, if any, applicable to shares of preferred stock or any series thereof, the holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them, such dividends and distributions (payable in cash, stock or property), if, when and as may be declared thereon by the TPL board of directors (the “Board”), at any time and from time to time, out of any funds or assets of TPL that are legally available therefor at such time and in such amounts as the Board in its discretion will determine.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of TPL, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets of TPL remaining, after TPL pays all of its debts and other liabilities and any amounts TPL may owe to the holders of preferred stock, if any.

Other Matters

Holders of Common Stock do not have preemptive or preferential rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to Common Stock.

Preferred Stock

Our Amended Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board, subject to any limitations prescribed by law and the rights of any series of preferred stock then outstanding, if any, without further stockholder approval, to authorize the issuance of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series, par value $0.01 per share, covering up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board is authorized under the Amended Certificate of Incorporation to fix the designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative, participating, optional, or special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions relating to each such series of preferred stock, including, but not limited to, voting rights, the number of shares to constitute the series, restrictions on issuance, redemption rights, dividend rights, liquidation preferences and conversion rights. Except as provided by law or in a preferred stock designation, the holders of preferred stock will not be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Provisions of Our Amended Certificate of Incorporation and Our Bylaws

Some provisions of Delaware law, our Amended Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: acquisitions of us by means of a tender offer; a proxy contest; or removal of our incumbent officers and directors. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for our shares. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the trading price of the Common Stock.

These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate with us first. We believe that the benefits of increased protection and our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in improved terms.

Delaware Law

TPL is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL (“Section 203”) regulating corporate takeovers. In general, those provisions prohibit a Delaware corporation, including those whose securities are listed for trading on the NYSE, from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

Except as otherwise set forth in Section 203, an interested stockholder is defined to include: (a) any person that is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the three years immediately prior to the date of determination; and (b) the affiliates and associates of any such person.

The provisions of Section 203 may encourage persons interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with the Board, because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if a majority of the directors then in office approve either the business combination or the transaction that results in any such person becoming an interested stockholder.

Our Amended Certificate of Incorporation and Our Bylaws

Our Amended Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws:

Forum Selection

Our Amended Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless TPL consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware) or the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Dallas, Texas (or if such court does not have jurisdiction, any district court in Dallas County in the State of Texas) will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forums for: (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (b) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, employees, agents or stockholders; (c) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers, employees or agents arising pursuant to, or seeking to enforce any right, obligation or remedy under any provision of the DGCL, the laws of the State of Texas, the Amended Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws; or (d) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each such case, subject to the applicable court having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. Our Amended Certificate of Incorporation also provide that unless TPL consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States will be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Our Amended Certificate of Incorporation also provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of, and to have consented to, our forum selection provision. Although we believe these provisions will benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of law for the specified types of actions and proceedings, these provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees and agents, which may discourage such lawsuits. If a court were to find that any of these provisions are inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we could incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Equiniti Trust Company, LLC.

Listing

Our Common Stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TPL”.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

We may issue warrants for the purchase of preferred stock, Common Stock or any combination thereof.  Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities offered in an applicable prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from such securities.  Warrants may be issued under warrant agreements (each, a “warrant agreement”) to be entered into between us and a warrant agent specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.  The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants of a particular series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants.  The following sets forth certain general terms and provisions of warrants that may be offered.  Further terms of the warrants and the applicable warrant agreement will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Terms

The prospectus supplement relating to a particular issue of warrants for the purchase of Common Stock or preferred stock will describe the terms of the warrants, including the following:

Exercise of Warrants

Each warrant will entitle the holder of the warrants to purchase for cash the number of shares of Common Stock or shares of preferred stock at the exercise price as shall in each case be set forth in, or be determinable as set forth in, the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered thereby.  Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered thereby.  After the close of business on the expiration date the unexercised warrants will become void.  Until a warrant holder exercises such warrant holder’s warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock or shares of preferred stock, the holder will not have any rights as a holder of Common Stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, by virtue of the holder’s ownership of warrants.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus in one or more transactions from time to time:

We may sell the securities at a fixed price or prices that may change, at prevailing market prices, at prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Each time we sell securities in a particular offering, we will provide a prospectus supplement or, if required, amend this prospectus, to disclose the following information with respect to that offering:

Underwriters, dealers, agents or other purchasers may sell the securities at a fixed price or prices that may change, at prices set at or relative to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

We may directly solicit offers to purchase securities and we may make sales of securities directly to institutional investors or others in jurisdictions where we are authorized to do so.

We may offer our Common Stock into an existing trading market on the terms described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto. Underwriters and dealers who may participate in any at-the-market offerings will be described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto.

Underwriters

We may sell all or a portion of the securities offered by this prospectus in one or more transactions to or through underwriters, who may sell the securities to or through dealers. In connection with the sale of our securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation from us, or from the purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agents, in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions and may also receive commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers, agents or purchasers that participate in the distribution of the securities, and any broker-dealers or the persons acting on behalf of parties that participate in the distribution of the securities, are underwriters under the Securities Act. Any discounts or commissions they receive and any profit on the resale of the securities they receive constitute underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any person deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act may be subject to statutory liabilities, including those under Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

Only underwriters named in the amended or supplemented prospectus, if any, will be underwriters of the securities offered through that amended prospectus. Any underwriters used in an offering may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or through underwriters without a syndicate. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time.

Agents; Direct Sales

We may designate agents to distribute the securities offered by this prospectus. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, any such agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of appointment. We may authorize dealers or other persons acting as our respective agents to solicit offers by institutional investors to purchase the securities from us under contracts that provide for payment and delivery on a future date. We may enter into agreements directly with purchasers that provide for the sale of securities over a period of time by means of draw-downs at our election, which the purchaser would be obligated to accept under specified conditions. Under a draw-down agreement, we may sell securities at a per share purchase price discounted from the market price of our securities. We may also enter into agreements for sales of securities based on combinations of or variations from these methods. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms and conditions of any such agreements and any related commissions we will pay. Agents and underwriters may also engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

Stabilization Activities

In connection with a firm commitment underwritten offering of our securities, underwriters and purchasers that are deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. For example, they may:

Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price above independent market levels. These activities may be conducted only in conjunction with a firm commitment underwritten offering. Underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may terminate any such activity at any time. In engaging in any such activities, underwriters will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under those acts. Regulation M under the Securities Act, for example, may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities, and the anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may also apply to market sales of the securities. These provisions may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.

Indemnification

We may agree to indemnify underwriters, dealers, agents or other purchasers against civil liabilities they may incur in connection with the offer and sale of the securities offered by this prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We may also agree to contribute to payments that these persons may be required to make with respect to these liabilities.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

The following table sets forth the costs and expenses payable by us in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered hereunder. All of the amounts shown are estimates, except for the SEC Registration Fee.

* Under Rules 456(b) and 457(r) of the Securities Act, applicable SEC registration fees have been deferred and will be paid at the time of any particular offering of securities under this registration statement, and are therefore not estimable at this time.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Matters

Our Amended Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as it existed when the Amended Certificate of Incorporation became effective on January 7, 2021. The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors, except: (a) for any breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (c) for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, as provided under Section 174 of the DGCL; or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Any amendment, repeal or modification of these provisions in the Amended Certificate of Incorporation will be prospective only and will not affect any limitation on liability of a director for acts or omissions that occurred prior to any such amendment, repeal or modification.

Our Bylaws also provide that we will indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law any person who becomes involved in any legal proceeding by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, trustee or officer of the Company or any predecessor in interest to the assets of the Company a (“predecessor”). Our Bylaws also provide that the Company will indemnify and advance expenses to any such covered person on the condition that such person will repay all amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined by a court that such person is not entitled to be indemnified.

Our Bylaws permit us to purchase and maintain insurance, at our expense, to protect ourselves and any person who is or was serving as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any predecessor, regardless of whether we could have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL, the Bylaws or otherwise.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. The indemnification agreements provide that the Company will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the indemnitees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, against losses and expenses arising from the indemnitees becoming a party to any action or other legal proceeding related to their affiliation with the Company or any individual, entity or trust that was a predecessor in interest to the assets of the Company. Under the indemnification agreements, the Company has additionally undertaken to advance to the indemnitees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, funds to pay for expenses related to such matters, including attorneys’ fees.

The following exhibits are filed with this registration statement.

* Filed herewith.

** To be filed, if applicable, as an exhibit to a post-effective amendment to this registration statement or as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
