Relating to the name and governance of the Railroad Commission of Texas.
HB 2719 changes the official name of the Railroad Commission of Texas to the Texas Oil, Gas, and Minerals Commission throughout the Natural Resources Code. The bill updates all references to the commission's name and title (including "Railroad Commission" in headings and definitions) but does not alter the commission's regulatory responsibilities or powers. This is a purely procedural name change reflecting the commission's current focus on oil, gas, and mineral regulation rather than railroad oversight.
