Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Co and Tennessee Gas Transmission Co sought to overturn the levy enacted in 1961 as a disguised tax on interstate gas. The decision affirmed the trial court and the Third Court of Civil Appeals ruling that long lines gas pipelines with long term Texas gas reserves contracts for out of state consumers fall outside the tax. The tax had raised about $9 million for the state treasury with over $5 million protested awaiting the ruling.
