Strong. Dependable. Effective.

Do you have the time and resources to monitor the legislative trends and political developments and sill manage you business effectively?

Let the Texas Oil & Gas Association keep up with the fast-changing world in which you do business and protect your interests in the legislative and regulatory arenas that affect the Texas oil and gas industry.

Oftentimes, it may feel like your business is at the mercy of state government. That's where this Association comes in. TXOGA has been making a positive difference for its members since 1919.

Your business and state government continue to change, but TXOGA is as strong as ever.

TXOGA gets results.

TXOGA works to create a balance in a world of political extremes. The Association's history of expertise on important concerns is what draws legislators and their staffs to utilize TXOGA for insight into the legislative issues that involve our industry. Building strong relationships with these state leaders enables the Association to have a critical influence on decisions that affect you. The names and faces may change at the Capitol, but TXOGA's clout is a constant that has endured for over three quarters of a century.

Consider some of TXOGA's recent accomplishments in the following critical areas:

• High-cost gas tax incentive
  
• 2-year inactive well tax incentive
  
• Enhanced oil recovery tax incentive
  
• Emergency temporary severance tax exemption
  
• Railroad Commission regulatory reform
  
• Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission permit processing and contested case reform

Equally important as TXOGA's legislative work is the Association's activity with the many regulatory agencies that affect the business of TXOGA members. Between the Railroad Commission, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission and the General Land Office -to name a few- TXOGA's committees and staff maintain a constant watch to safeguard the interests of the Association's many members.

As with the Legislature, TXOGA's effectiveness in the regulatory arena is a testament to the relationships TXOGA has nurtured over the years and the Association's credibility in Austin. There is simply no substitute for that kind of practical experience and undisputed expertise.
