Texas Customer's Draft
Understanding this form
The Customer's Draft is a legal document used to facilitate payment for an Oil and Gas Lease. It serves as a secured payment mechanism where the Drawee, Payee, and endorsers designate a Collecting Bank to hold the Draft until the specified date. This form differs from other payment instruments by incorporating an escrow arrangement to ensure that funds are delivered only upon proper conditions being met.
