The Railroad Commission of Texas is a statewide regulatory agency responsible for oversight of the oil and gas industry, gas utilities, pipeline safety, and surface coal and uranium mining. Established in 1891, the organization operates as a publicly governed state agency rather than a private entity. Although its name reflects its historical connection to rail transportation, the agency no longer regulates railroads. From its headquarters in Austin, the Commission administers programs related to energy resource regulation, environmental oversight, and public safety. Its responsibilities include monitoring exploration and production activities and enforcing compliance with state regulations. The agency also manages divisions focused on alternative fuels, surface mining, and various technical and administrative functions. Led by elected commissioners and supported by an executive staff, the organization coordinates statewide field operations through district offices across Texas. The agency continues to serve as the state’s primary regulatory authority for energy resource development and related infrastructure.
