Railroad Commission of Texas, Petitioners v. James F. Miller, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that Section 2(g) of Article 6008c of the Mineral Interest Pooling Act applies only to orders that effect pooling and not to orders denying pooling, thereby requiring appeals of denial orders to follow the general appeal statute. The Court also rejected the equal‑protection challenge, finding the statutory classification reasonable. The appellate court's reversal was vacated and the trial court's judgment affirmed.
