Complaints & Inspections at the RRC

Oil and gas production stretches across the state of Texas, often in close proximity to or on the property of those who may be negatively impacted and do not benefit financially from production.

Our short guides developed by Commission Shift and the University of Texas School of Law Environmental Clinic are designed to be a reference to help anyone concerned about nearby activity know where to go and how to file a complaint with the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC), our state oil and gas agency.
