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).
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.
Three divisions with the agency have regulatory functions: the Gas
Services Division, the Oil and Gas Division, and the Surface Mining and
Reclamation Division. The Office of the General Counsel's Enforcement Section
has enforcement powers, the Safety Division is responsible for the safe
transportation of products through pipelines, installation of LP-Gas (propane),
and the reporting of damage to pipelines through third-party damage reporting,
and the Alternative Fuels Research and Education Division has research and
education functions. Support divisions include the Public Information Office,
Personnel, Finance and Administration, Information Technology Services,
Intergovernmental Affairs, and the Office of Internal Audit. Three elected
Commissioners direct the operations of the agency.
The Gas Services Division works to ensure that a continuous safe
supply of gas is available to Texas consumers at the lowest reasonable rates.
The division establishes rates and services that are fair and reasonable for
gas utilities and their customers; enforces those rates; maintains safety
standards in the gas and hazardous liquids pipeline systems throughout the
state by inspection and investigation of any hazards or accidents; oversees
intrastate gathering and storage services; and adopts and maintains adequate
safety rules and standards in the handling, transportation, and odorization of
LP-gases (liquefied petroleum gases) for dealers, handlers, and consumers. It
further regulates propane and compressed natural gas by requiring anyone
working with these gases to pass a written qualifying exam administered by the
Commission. The division also focuses on regulatory policy and analysis as well
as identifying and eliminating natural gas transportation problems. There are
four main sections in this division - Audit, Liquefied Petroleum Gas, Pipeline
Safety, and Regulatory and Analysis.
The Gas Services Division of the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC)
establishes rates and services for gas utilities and their customers and
enforces those rates. These are docket case files of the Gas Utilities Division
(later called the Gas Services Division) of the Railroad Commission of Texas,
dating 1920-1973. Types of records include incoming and outgoing
correspondence, petitions, appeals, rate applications, notices of hearings, and
hearing records, which include transcripts, legal briefs, testimony, exhibits,
and actions taken by the Railroad Commission. The docket files contain records
of hearings held by the Division to consider rate and service requests from
natural gas utilities or their customers.
The Commission hears applications from gas utilities to abandon
sections of gas pipeline, to remove meters from private premises, to
discontinue service to certain customers, and, most frequently, to be allowed
to change natural gas rates. The utilities often appeal the rates set by cities
and apply to the Commission for a rate hearing. The Commission has appellate
jurisdiction over gas utility rate applications originating in incorporated
municipalities and original jurisdiction over those applications originating in
unincorporated areas of Texas. Citizens also apply to the Commission to fix
"fair and reasonable" rates, to petition for
the installation of natural gas lines and to complain about such service
matters as the removal of gas lines and the cost of connection charges. In
response to such applications and hearings the Commission will promulgate rules
and regulations, investigate the rates charged by gas companies, fix temporary
trial rates, and make the final determination of the rates to be charged by gas
companies.
The docket case files are on microfilm; the inventory does not list
the dates for most of the dockets, however the dockets start with # 1 in 1920
and continue through 1973. A few dockets are missing. Between 1959 and 1963,
some items within the dockets are listed individually on the inventory and
dates are added. Prior to and after that period just the docket number is
generally listed.
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 housed in the State Archives 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.).
Microfilm readers are available in the Geneology and Reference reading
rooms at the Texas State Library and Archives.
