As part of our mission to maintain a strong energy majority in the Texas Legislature for years to come, we MUST have the resources to help both Republicans and Democrats who are friends of the industry. In many ways, our industry is under attack. Anti-energy activists assault the very industry providing the tax revenue that builds our schools, paves our roads, and funds our universities. Any unreasonable limitations or unnecessarily burdensome regulations on oil and natural gas activity is an assault on our economy and ultimately our jobs within the industry.
