Abstract: The Railroad Commission of Texas was created in 1890 by an amendment to Article X, Section 2, of the Texas Constitution for the primary purpose of regulating the railroad industry. It was the first regulatory agency authorized for the State of Texas. The Cox Act of 1920 placed the regulation of the transportation, distribution and sale of natural gas under the Railroad Commission and led to the creation of the Gas Utilities Division. i The Pipeline Safety/Engineering Section of this division conducts safety evaluations of natural gas operators based on the requirements of 49 CFR 192 (Minimum Safety Standards), Gas Utilities Docket Nos. 446 (Adopting 49 CFR 192) and 484 (Requiring written leak complaint procfedures) and Gas Utilities Substantive Rule 12 (Odorization). Since the topic suggested by the title is rather broad the scope of this paper will be limited to the area of leaks - written procedures, handling and surveys.
