Notice to Operators: Statewide Rule 13 Exceptions: Online Filing Now Available and Exception Fee Required

March 16, 2015

The Railroad Commission of Texas (Commission) has completed the design and development of the online filing application for exceptions to 16 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) §3.13 (Statewide Rule 13), regarding Casing, Cementing, Drilling, Well Control, and Completion Requirements. The filing application has now been implemented and is available for use. This system will enable operators to submit exception requests to the Commission more conveniently and quickly, and will enable Commission staff to review those requests in a more prompt and efficient manner. The system will also audit each submission to minimize errors and provide for fee payments through the official website for the State of Texas at http://www.texas.gov.
