Third time the charm? Legislators want to rename Texas Railroad Commission again

Austin lawmakers will try again to rename the Texas Railroad Commission to more accurately reflect what the agency does.

Two names have been proposed by two different bills.

House Bill 224 would change the name to Texas Energy Resources Commission. The bill was proposed by Rep. Ryan Guillen, D-Rio Grande City.

And House Bill 1106 goes for a shorter name, Texas Energy Commission. That bill was filed by Rep. Larry Phillips, R-Sherman.
