Fort Worth's Hyder family won its fight in the Texas Supreme Court against Chesapeake Energy, with the state's high court narrowly ruling that the Oklahoma City-based energy giant improperly deducted post-production costs from their royalty checks. In a 5-4 decision, the majority ruled that the agreement the Hyder family signed with the original production company, a lease that was bought by Chesapeake, specifically barred the company from subtracting the money from the checks.
