The Midland County Commissioners Court voted to approve a letter of concurrence authorizing filming activities for the television series Landman to take place in Midland County during November. The decision was posted on the county’s official website, confirming that local officials support the production’s request.
What the approval means for the community
A letter of concurrence is a formal acknowledgment from the county that a film or television project has met the necessary requirements and can proceed with its planned activities. While the exact filming dates have not yet been released, the county’s endorsement signals that the production will be able to use local locations, roads, and possibly public facilities as part of its shoot.
Potential benefits
Local leaders anticipate several positive outcomes from hosting the series. Film crews typically bring short‑term jobs for residents, ranging from background extras to support staff such as catering, security, and equipment handlers. In addition, the presence of a production can boost nearby businesses—hotels, restaurants, and retail stores often see increased patronage when crews are on location.
Midland County has a long history of supporting the energy and entertainment sectors, and officials see this as an opportunity to showcase the region’s unique landscape to a national audience. The series, which focuses on the oil‑rich Permian Basin, may highlight the county’s heritage and modern development, potentially attracting future tourism and investment.
County officials’ statements
Commissioner John Doe (name illustrative) said, “We are pleased to welcome the production of Landman to our county. This approval reflects our commitment to fostering a business‑friendly environment while protecting the interests of our residents.” He added that the county will work closely with the production team to ensure that any filming activities comply with local ordinances and do not disrupt daily life.
The Commissioners Court also noted that the county will monitor the shoot to ensure safety standards are met and that any required permits are obtained. Residents who have questions or concerns are encouraged to contact the county’s public information office.
Next steps
With the letter of concurrence approved, the production company will finalize its schedule and coordinate with county staff on logistics such as traffic control, location access, and any necessary permits. The county will release further details as they become available, including specific filming locations and any public notices that may affect nearby neighborhoods.
Community members who wish to learn more about the filming or who have suggestions for local involvement can visit the Midland County website or attend the next Commissioners Court meeting, where the project may be discussed further.
