TX HB2255 aims to clarify and protect the rights of landowners who have inactive oil wells on their property. The bill focuses on the authority these landowners have regarding tests performed on these wells, which are regulated by the Railroad Commission of Texas. Essentially, it seeks to ensure that landowners have a say in how these wells are managed and tested.
