Court Advances Waters-Pierce Oil Receivership Submission
The Texas Court of Civil Appeals for the Third District granted the state’s motion to advance the Waters-Pierce Oil receivership case to October 21. The oil firm seeks ouster and consolidated receivership cash. Separately, the railroad commission hearing on short line passenger rates ended abruptly as Commissioner Mayfield postponed the issue to the November session. General agents protested the proposed rate order citing El Paso to Fort Worth comparisons among lines. Vernon Beggs seeks a hearing on the Fort Worth and Denver railroad’s alleged poor condition.
