Texas oil and gas continues to lead the way. In 2022, the industry added 24,000+ jobs & generated over $320 billion in economic activity. That’s 16% of ALL economic output in Texas last year, and these hard working men and women aren’t slowing down. #TXRRC

Arctic air is once again affecting Texas. To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, use propane safely during this cold blast. Using propane-powered stoves and grills indoors is extremely dangerous. For propane safety tips, visit ow.ly/ckbS50MF6uG

Texas added 650k jobs last year, and we’ve had 14 consecutive months of job growth. We added more jobs than any other state, and, thanks to conservative leadership and policies that expand opportunity, the future is bright. Let’s continue to lead. #txlege

Oil and gas are getting the job done for Texas! The industry contributed $24.7 BILLION in taxes in 2022, a 54% increase from the previous record set in 2019. Our oil and gas industry's positive impact on the state is incomparable.

As we continue to observe #HumanTraffickingAwareness Month, I want to highlight a group that is making a difference for victims. The “Lost Souls” operation in rescued 70 children in just 3 weeks last summer. Heroic work, & an example we all should follow.

Texas oil and gas funds our state’s #infrastructure and our education system. Now, thanks to the industry, Texas has a nearly $33 billion budget surplus. What do you think the best use of the surplus is for #txlege? #TXRRC

“It was built to give our students hands-on experience in the oil field under a controlled environment where we have total safety.”
Thanks to years of generosity from alumni, the first full-scale, modern drilling rig on a U.S. university campus is now fully operational.
