Special Super-Sized Year in Review Publication Highlights Railroad Commission’s 130th Year

AUSTIN – Even after 130 years of proudly serving the people of the great state of Texas and protecting their interests, the Railroad Commission continues to innovate and adapt to the times.

A special 2021 Year in Review publication not only looks at where the commission has been, it also dives into the accomplishments and changes that occurred over the course of the agency’s 130th year, including what has happened since Winter Storm Uri and looks at how the agency is preparing for the future.

The Year in Review is split up into five sections and includes videos from the agency’s three commissioners.

The first section of the publication, “Historical Perspective,” looks back at the 130-year history of the agency and interviews with some staff who have been with the agency for decades. The second section, “A Historic Storm,” dives deep into what occurred during and since Winter Storm Uri.

The third section, “Today’s Agency: Achieving Higher Standards,” covers how the RRC is meeting legislative goals and other significant information from all the agency’s divisions. The fourth section, “The Core Mission: Protecting Public Safety and the Environment,” explores a host of success stories the agency has made in service to the state.

The final section, “Getting Better for the Future,” looks at ways the agency is improving to keep up with changing times.
