TXOGA DEFENDS THE TEXAS PETROLEUM INDUSTRY
Promotes Oil & Gas during Session, Remains vigilant for upcoming Interim
As a result of dynamic political changes in Texas and beyond, the Texas Oil & Gas Industry and other mainstays of the Texas economy – credited with helping Texas weather the global economic crisis better than others -- were under attack at the Capitol during the legislative session that concluded today.Texas Oil & Gas Association (TXOGA) tracked and influenced over 950 bills reflecting the barrage of issues that could have undermined many aspects of exploration and production, Barnett Shale operations, critical oil and gas tax incentives, mineral estate dominance, rational environmental policy, civil justice reforms, and emergency operations.As the Session drew to an end, TXOGA once again successfully defended the Texas Petroleum Industry while advancing a positive business climate in the State.
WATER COUNCIL ASKS FOR FEEDBACK
Leaders in Texas water resource planning and management are continuously striving to manage limited supplies in a prudent and efficient manner. In order to better understand the types of challenges that our communities face and the types of planning resources needed, The Water Conservation Advisory Council has developed a Conservation Survey that is now available to users.
The objective of the survey is to obtain preliminary data from varying water user groups across Texas in order to see what types of water conservation trends are taking place. The three main categories of questions include questions on Public Awareness, Metrics and Data, and Strategy Implementation. Please take the time to fill out this very important survey and share your information. The Council appreciates your consideration in assisting members of the Council in our efforts to fulfill charges from the Texas Legislature. We would also appreciate it if you would forward or share the Conservation Survey link with your membership as well.
Please visit the Water Conservation Advisory Council web page to access the Conservation Survey.
