Baytown Oil Pooling Ordinance Draws Advisory Rebuff
Baytown voters face a Tuesday vote on oil well spacing within city limits. Officials from the League of Texas Municipalities and the Texas Railroad Commission oppose a pooling ordinance that leaves drilling unit boundaries to landowners and lessees. The Linton ordinance, approved by Atty. Gen. John Ben Shepperd, is cited as precedent, with concerns the Baytown proposal could be unconstitutional without definite boundaries. The city attorney argues for clear drilling unit boundaries and notes retroactivity issues. The League offers to place the question before its legal advisors for review.
