The TRC has nothing to do with Railroads. But she is way to stupid to run what it does do:
From Wikipedia but correct
“The Railroad Commission of Texas is the state agency that regulates the oil and gas industry, gas utilities, pipeline safety, safety in the liquefied petroleum gas industry, and surface coal and uranium mining. Despite its name, it ceased regulating railroads in 2005. “
The administrator of the single largest collection of land in Texas.
Very little Fed owned land in TX.
State owns LOTS of land and TRC administers it (actually claims on mineral rights).
Majority of Texas land is owned by individuals.
