Summary
The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and held that the Railroad Commission's Rules 30(a)(1), 30(a)(5), and 34(h)(2‑4) are valid, affirming the Commission's statutory authority, consistency with that authority, adequacy of statutory guidelines, lack of disregard for corporate separateness, and non‑preemption by federal law. Justice Cook filed a concurring opinion that fully agrees with the majority.
