The Dove Area Gas Group, in Southlake, has popped up on our radar, and it plans to hold a meeting tomorrow with presentations by XTO Energy and Chesapeake Energy.
The meeting will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Johnson Elementary auditorium.
According to the DAGG website, "everyone is welcome to attend." The group says new members can turn in their non-binding letters of intent at the meeting.
Here are the neighborhoods and subdivisions that make up DAGG, according to its site:
- Carmel Bay
- Carroll Meadows
- Dove Estates
- Emerald Estates
- Harbor Oaks
- Huntwick
- Lakes on Dove
- Lakeside Estates
- Loch Meadow
- Lonesome Dove Estates
- The Madison
- Oak Pointe
- Quail Creek
- South Lake Park
- Trail Lake
The group's site also reports that property owners in Lonesome Dove Estates have been offered a bonus of $17,000-per-acre. It's unclear who made the offer, but Dale Resources, on behalf of Chesapeake Energy, made that kind of an offer to a large group of property owners representing about 5,000 acres southwest of 114 in primarily Southlake and Colleyville.
DAGG, which says its mission is to represent more than 800 homeowners, lists its boundaries as:
- White Chapel Boulevard on the west
- Dove Road on the south
- Kimball on the east
- Grapevine Lake on the north
More to come as we hear about it.

David:
I have been asked to be the official spokesperson for DAGG regarding any updates to be posted on the Star Telegram Barnett Shale blog. Please contact me before posting any updates regarding DAGG. I have a negotiating committee meeting this Wednesday and should have news to offer at that point.
Thanks for your interest.
