- Issued a Severance/Seal Order 1
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 39 inspections that found this operator out of compliance — they are counted from their own file.
The Railroad Commission's docket file published 2025-02-05 names no case against this operator. That is what the file holds. It is not a statement that none exists.
