Port Lavaca Wins Delay in Entex Gas Rate Bid

Judge Joe Kelly approved an agreed order delaying any increase for six to nine months while Entex builds a new plan. The city withdrew its suit pending Entex’s new filing, and urged Entex to initiate an independent rate request rather than use Houston Natural Gas’s prior docket.
