Gas boom may spare Texas from record tax hike
State Comptroller Calvert revised up the 1959 57 revenue outlook noting natural gas production adds about 118 million in potential revenue over the next two years. He kept crude oil taxes unchanged while boosting motor fuel and stock transfer projections. Texas gas output rose to over 5 trillion cubic feet in 1954 with continued growth into 1955 57, supporting a healthier fiscal outlook.
