What the Commission did

  • Referred to Austin Field Ops for possible legal enforcement 26
  • Notice of Violation 18

From the Commission's inspection and violation files, covering Aug 1 2015 to Aug 7 2026. The two are separate files with no key between them, so the violations here are not a subset of the 40 inspections that found this operator out of compliance — they are counted from their own file.

Commission dockets

Cases the Railroad Commission opened naming this operator. Most dockets are applications — commonly for an exception to the statewide spacing rule — and a small number are compliance orders.

From the Commission's docket file published 2025-02-05. It is the only copy on the Commission's link, so nothing filed after that date appears here. The dates shown are the earliest and latest the record carries — 24 Jun 2015 to 2 Jul 2024. The file holds eight date fields per docket and the Commission publishes no key to which is which, so none is named here.
