Summary
Texas Pacific Land disclosed the death of board member Murray Stahl on April 9, 2026. Stahl served as CEO and Chairman of Horizon Kinetics Holding Corporation, which through subsidiaries is TPL's largest shareholder. His passing creates a board vacancy and removes a long-time advocate who had championed the company for decades.
CEO Ty Glover characterized Stahl as a visionary who believed in TPL when it was still a thinly-traded, little-known trust owning land in west Texas. Horizon Kinetics and its predecessors maintained the largest shareholder position for many decades, giving Stahl significant influence over the company's strategic direction through its transformation into one of the largest publicly-traded energy companies. The filing provides no details on succession plans for either the board seat or Horizon Kinetics' leadership, though the latter is a matter for the shareholder firm rather than TPL itself.
