Texas Research League Seeks 10 Districts for Railroad Commission
The Texas Research League urged reorganizing the Railroad Commission into 10 districts, proposing new district offices in Lubbock and Fort Stockton and splitting the Midland district into three parts. The report notes a balance problem in responsibilities across the 12 districts and outlines administrative changes and a new appropriations bill. It also cites a shift from the old tender system cutting 13 million pieces of oil and gas paperwork and a plan to expand field inspections to 61 inspectors and 300 engineers, with potential net budget savings of about 300,000.
