The Railroad Commission of Texas regulates the exploration,
production, and transportation of oil and natural gas in Texas. Its statutory
role is to prevent waste of the state's natural resources, to protect the
correlative rights of different interest owners, to prevent pollution, and to
provide safety in matters such as hydrogen sulfide. It oversees hazardous
materials pipelines and natural gas pipelines and distribution systems as well
as propane, butane, compressed natural gas, and liquefied natural gas. It works
to make sure a continuous, safe supply of natural gas is available to Texas
consumers at the lowest reasonable price. Additionally, the Commission
regulates surface mining for coal, uranium, and iron ore gravel, and conducts a
program for reclaiming lands that were mined and abandoned before 1975.
The Railroad Commission of Texas had its origin in the demands of the
shipping public in the late 1880s that insisted that railroads be subject to
regulation based on public interest. An advocate for governmental regulation,
Attorney General James Stephen Hogg ran for Governor in 1890 with the issue of
railroad regulation as the focal point of the campaign. Hogg was elected
Governor in the general election and the voters also approved an amendment to
Article X, Section 2 of the Texas Constitution that empowered the Legislature
to enact statutes creating regulatory agencies. These elections paved the way
for the Legislature to enact on April 3, 1891 "An Act to Establish a Railroad
Commission of the State of Texas," that later was placed in the Texas Revised
Civil Statutes under article 6444 et seq. (House Bills 1, 3, and 58, 22nd Texas
Legislature, Regular Session).
The Commission originally consisted of three members appointed by the
Governor for three-year terms. Governor Hogg appointed the first three
Commissioners in 1891 including John H. Reagan, who resigned as U.S. Senator
from Texas to serve as the first Chairman. The Texas Constitution, Article XIX,
Section 30 was amended in 1894 to provide for elective six-year overlapping
terms for the Commissioners. That same year John H. Reagan was elected and
served until his retirement in 1903.
The Texas Railroad Commission was the first regulatory agency created
in the State of Texas and originally had jurisdiction over the rates and
operations of railroads, terminals, wharves and express companies. The legal
focus was on intrastate passenger and freight activities. Interstate
jurisdiction fell under the U.S. Interstate Commerce Commission. For the first
twenty-five years of its existence, the Railroad Commission was largely
concerned with regulating railroads, setting rates, receiving complaints, and
making investigations. As other controversies arose where the Legislature
deemed that the public interest could best be served by regulation, additional
duties were assigned to the Railroad Commission.
The Railroad Commission's authority was broadened beginning in 1917
with the passage of the Pipeline Petroleum Law (Senate Bill 68, 35th
Legislature, Regular Session) that declared pipelines to be common carriers
like railroads and placed them under the Commission's jurisdiction. This was
the first act to designate the Railroad Commission as the agency to administer
conservation laws relating to oil and gas. The Commission's regulatory and
enforcement powers in oil and gas were increased by the Oil and Gas
Conservation Law (Senate Bill 350 of the 36th Legislature, Regular Session),
effective June 18, 1919. This act gave the Railroad Commission jurisdiction to
regulate the production of oil and gas. Acting upon this legislation, the
Commission adopted in 1919 the first statewide rules regulating the oil and gas
industry to promote conservation and safety, including Rule 37. This rule
requires minimum distances between wells at drilling sites in order to protect
field pressure and correlative rights.
The Gas Utilities Act of 1920 (House Bill 11, 36th Legislature, 3rd
Called Session) gave the Commission regulatory and rate authority over
individuals and businesses producing, transporting, or distributing natural gas
in Texas. In 1937, following a large natural gas explosion in a school in New
London, Texas, the 45th Legislature passed legislation giving the Railroad
Commission the authority to adopt rules and regulations pertaining to the
odorization of natural gas or liquefied petroleum gases (House Bill 1017,
Regular Session).
The passage of the Public Regulatory Act of 1975 (PURA) (House Bill
819, 64th Legislature, Regular Session) required certain state regulatory
agencies, including the Commission, to set the overall revenues of a utility
based on its "cost of service." Regulation of liquefied petroleum was added to
the Commission's responsibilities in 1939 by the 46th Legislature (House Bill
792, Regular Session). The legislation authorized the Commission to adopt and
enforce safety rules and standards in the storage, handling, transportation,
and odorization of butane or LP-gases. Regulation of compressed natural gas was
added to the Railroad Commission's responsibilities in 1983 (Senate Bill 617,
68th Legislature, Regular Session).
Railroad regulation was initially overseen by the Main Office, later
the Main and Transportation Division, then the Transportation Division and
finally the Rail Division. This division was responsible for checking equipment
and track, railroad and signal operations, and hazardous material handling;
conducting investigations of accidents and complaints concerning railroads; and
securing federal funds to improve branch lines and preserve rail service to
rural areas. The Division enforced rules aimed at removing obstructions on
railroad rights-of-way and operated a crossing safety education program. In
2005, the Rail Division and its remaining function, rail safety regulation,
were transferred to the Texas Department of Transportation (House Bill 2702,
79th Legislature, Regular Session). The Railroad Commission no longer has any
railroad-related functions.
The Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) had jurisdiction over the rates
and operations of railroads, terminals, wharves and express companies. This
series contains correspondence, reports, charters, laws, agreements, clippings,
articles, publications, photographs, maps, and other materials documenting the
history of rail companies in Texas and the role of the Railroad Commission of
Texas in railroad regulation and rail history. Dates covered are 1836-1996, and
undated, most items dating 1850-1960. According to a RRC staff memo from 1982,
the Rail Division staff was encouraged to create an archives of rail company
records to preserve the history of the Commission's rail activities. Topics
listed in the memo for consideration include when railroad lines were
constructed and abandoned, when companies were chartered, a history of the
Commission's rail activities, and a history of railroads in Texas. The files
gathered in this series cover some of this information.
The bulk of the records are railroad company files prepared for all
railroads created and/or chartered in Texas. These railroad company files have
information about the line typed or handwritten on the file folder. The
information varies from folder to folder with all having the name of the line
and usually the date it was chartered or created. Additional data found on many
folders includes documentation of name changes of the company, mergers, if/when
the line was discontinued or bought out, or similar information. Some of these
annotated folders have long paragraphs about the railroad line's history. Items
found within the folders may include correspondence on topics such as the
history of the line, line abandonment, bonds, operating expenses, audits, etc.
Also present in some files are valuation statements, financial or audit
statements, copies of charters or other laws, agreements, reports, maps, or
Railroad Commission or Interstate Commerce Commission orders or circulars. Not
all folders contain records, many just have typed information on the folders.
(The railroad company folders were in poor condition and were replaced with new
folders during processing. Each folder was photocopied to retain the
information found on the original folder.) The first folder in each
alphabetical set (A, B, etc.) contains a list of individuals or companies whose
last corporate name begins with that letter. The list gives the name, railroad
line associated with the name, and a date. Entries are ordered chronologically
by date, with dates on the lists ranging from 1915 to 1964.
Following the railroad company files are a group of rail
history-related files created by the Railroad Commission to document its rail
activities and railroad history. In addition to created and gathered histories,
there is correspondence, reports and other materials on topics such as auditor
duties, valuation, laws pertaining to railroads, Jim Crow laws, land grants,
destruction of rail company records, rail gauges, passenger trains, and Rail
Division activities. One interesting single item to note is a resignation
letter from the RRC engineer in 1908. Added to the letter are notes by all
three RRC commissioners regretting his resignation but understanding why he was
leaving (the wages for the state were low and there was little room for
professional advancement). Also of interest is a large group of letters from
the mid 1940s in the files titled "Jim Crow
law" concerning the segregation or lack thereof of white and black
passengers into separate compartments on trains and/or the provision of
separate but equal facilities to each group.
Two large wallets labeled as "Historical
data" or "Historical file "contain a
variety of reports, letters, photographs, maps, and other materials relating to
Texas rail history, Railroad Commission history, or specific rail companies.
Also present are folders of photographs showing railway and freight yards,
depots, stations, rail cars and engines, most marked as exhibits (used in
either Railroad Commission or Interstate Commerce Commission hearings) and many
with docket numbers. There are two photographs especially worth noting - both
are circa 1900 views of engines and rail employees. A few maps are in the
historical files showing specific rail company lines, track facilities, or
county/regional maps showing rail lines within a particular county or region.
Few of the maps are marked with exhibit or docket numbers. There is little,
none in most cases, printed docket material present with either the maps or the
photographs. A small number of railroad company files for newer companies or
regarding hearings on issues for specific lines are filed at the end of the
historical files. A set of 1988 annual railroad company reports was removed
from this accession and transferred to the series Annual
reports of railroad companies.
To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily
reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to
provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types.
Materials do not circulate, but may be used in the State Archives
search room. Materials will be retrieved from and returned to storage areas by
staff members.
Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted and
may be freely used in any way. State records also include materials received
by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the creator. The
researcher is responsible for complying with U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17
U.S.C.).
Researchers are required to wear gloves provided by the Archives when
reviewing photographic materials.
Maps larger than 17 x 22 inches cannot be photocopied.
