Certification of the Average Closing Price of Gas and Oil - October 2025
The Comptroller of Public Accounts, administering agency for the collection of the Oil Production Tax, has determined, as required by Tax Code, §202.058, that the average taxable price of oil for reporting period October 2025 is $39.12 per barrel for the three-month period beginning on July 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2025. Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §202.058, oil produced during the month of October 2025, from a qualified low-producing oil lease, is not eligible for credit on the oil production tax imposed by Tax Code, Chapter 202. Due to a lack of consumer price index (CPI) data for October 2025, the Comptroller utilized the CPI data from September 2025 when calculating the 2005 price for the month of October 2025.
The Comptroller of Public Accounts, administering agency for the collection of the Natural Gas Production Tax, has determined, as required by Tax Code, §201.059, that the average taxable price of gas for reporting period October 2025 is $1.20 per mcf for the three-month period beginning on July 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2025. Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §201.059, gas produced during the month of October 2025, from a qualified low-producing well, is eligible for a 100% credit on the natural gas production tax imposed by Tax Code, Chapter 201. Due to a lack of CPI data for October 2025, the Comptroller utilized the CPI data from September 2025 when calculating the 2005 price for the month of October 2025.
The Comptroller of Public Accounts, administering agency for the collection of the Franchise Tax, has determined, as required by Tax Code, §171.1011(s), that the average closing price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil for the month of October 2025 is $71.56 per barrel. Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §171.1011(r), a taxable entity shall not exclude total revenue received from oil produced during the month of October 2025, from a qualified low-producing oil well.
The Comptroller of Public Accounts, administering agency for the collection of the Franchise Tax, has determined, as required by Tax Code, §171.1011(s), that the average closing price of gas for the month of October 2025 is $3.37 per MMBtu. Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §171.1011(r), a taxable entity shall exclude total revenue received from gas produced during the month of October 2025, from a qualified low-producing gas well.

Notice of Public Meeting for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0016658001
APPLICATION. Salado Creek Land Partners LLC and South Central Water Company, P.O. Box 570177, Houston, Texas 77257, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016658001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 700,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on October 28, 2024.
The facility will be located approximately 6,900 feet west of the intersection of Dos Hermanas Road and Williamson Road, in Bell County, Texas 76571. The treated effluent will be discharged directly to Salado Creek in Segment No. 1243 of the Brazos River Basin. The designated uses for Segment No. 1243 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, aquifer protection, and high aquatic life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code §307.5 and TCEQ's Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (June 2010), an antidegradation review of the receiving waters was performed. A Tier 1 antidegradation review has preliminarily determined that existing water quality uses will not be impaired by this permit action. Numerical and narrative criteria to protect existing uses will be maintained. A Tier 2 review has preliminarily determined that no significant degradation of water quality is expected in Salado Creek, which has been identified as having high aquatic life uses. Existing uses will be maintained and protected. The preliminary determination can be reexamined and may be modified if new information is received. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility's general location is provided as a public courtesy and is not part of the application or notice. For the exact location, refer to the application. https://gisweb.tceq.texas.gov/LocationMapper/?marker=-97.62472,30.871388&level=18
The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements.

Under federal law, federal agency activities and actions affecting the Texas coastal zone must be consistent with the CMP goals and policies identified in 31 TAC Chapter 26. Requests for federal consistency review were deemed administratively complete for the following project(s) during the period of December 8, 2025 to December 12, 2025. As required by federal law, the public is given an opportunity to comment on the consistency of proposed activities in the coastal zone undertaken or authorized by federal agencies. Pursuant to 31 TAC §§30.20(f), 30.30(h), and 30.40(e), the public comment period extends 30 days from the date published on the Texas General Land Office web site. The notice was published on the web site on Friday, December 19, 2025. The public comment period for this project will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 18, 2026.
Federal License and Permit Activities:
Applicant: Intercontinental Terminals Company, LLC
Location: The project would affect waters of the United States and navigable waters of the United States associated with Buffalo Bayou and is located in Buffalo Bayou, approximately 1-mile west of the Beltway 8 bridge crossing Buffalo Bayou, in Houston, Harris County, Texas.
Latitude and Longitude: 29.740341, -95.164426
Project Description: The applicant's stated primary purpose of the requested authorization is to dredge approximately 40 acres of a barge dock to allow for larger vessels and safer docking and construct two new barge docks, and one new ship dock, as well as the deepening of three existing docks to accommodate larger vessels. The proposed project will consist of the following activities:
1. The modification of the previously authorized Barge Dock 5, also known as Barge Dock 7, (western dock) and associated new work dredging to -12.5 feet mean low lower water (MLLW).
2. The modification of the proposed Barge Dock 5 (75 feet by 30 feet) (eastern dock) and associated new work dredging to -18.5 feet MLLW.
3. The modification of the previously permitted Ship Dock 6 (37 feet by 60 feet) and full-faced fender system and associated new work dredging to -47 feet MLLW.
4. The deepening of Barge Dock 4 from the currently authorized depth of -18.5 feet MLLW to -47 feet MLLW.
5. The deepening of Ship Docks 1 and 2 from the currently authorized depth of -43.5 feet MLLW to -47 feet MLLW.
6. The construction of approximately 1,020 feet of combi-wall bulkhead wall along the proposed Barge Dock 5.
7. The addition of silt blade dredging methods to maintain the authorized dredge depths.
These activities will result in the dredging and excavation of approximately 300,000 cubic yards (CY) of material of obtain depths of -47 feet MLLW within approximately 42.0 acres and -18.5 feet MLLW within 6.23 acres. Approximately 0.5 acres of material above the MLLW line will be excavated to provide the area necessary to safely maneuver and berth incoming and outgoing vessels. Approximately 315,000 CY of material located below the MLLW line will be dredged within an approximate 12-acre dredge footprint to obtain depths of -47 feet MLLW within Ship Docks 1-4, and 6. Approximately 128,000 CY of material located below the MLLW line will be dredged to obtain depths of -18.5 feet MLLW within Barge Docks 5 and 7. A mechanical of hydraulic dredge would be used to remove the material located beneath the MLLW line.
Additionally, site development consisting of the mechanical excavation, modification of site elevations, and mechanical trenching preparation for the installation of the modified bulkhead wall will be required within the portions of the project area located above the MHW line. The proposed 1,020 feet of modified bulkhead will be positioned so that no portion will be installed below the MHW line. All piles supporting the new bulkhead wall will be pneumatically driven into place and spaced accordingly to ensure structural integrity. The proposed project will also require the discharge of clean fill material behind the proposed bulkhead wall alignment. None of the proposed clean fill material will be placed below the MHW line.
The proposed modified Barge Dock 5 will be positioned perpendicular to the Houston Ship Channel along the proposed bulkhead wall and will consist of a full faced fendering system. The proposed ship and barge docks will exhibit a minimum 225-foot setback from the limits of the Houston Ship Channel. The proposed modified Barge Dock 5 will be supported by concrete piles pneumatically driven to depths to ensure structural integrity.
The applicant has provided the following explanation why compensatory mitigation should not be required: The applicant has not proposed to mitigate for the proposed impacts because there will be no permanent loss of waters of the U.S. and dredge material will be placed in designated placement areas.

The applicant requests authorization to permanently impact approximately 24.090 acres of emergent wetlands, 0.789 acres of scrub-shrub wetlands, 3.216 acres to tidal mud flats, 1.846 acres of estuarine wetlands, 3.216 acres to tidal sand flats, and 0.004 acres of open water. Temporary impacts include 22.728 acres of emergent wetland, 0.272 acres of scrub-shrub wetland, 10.055 acres to tidal mud flats, and 0.217 acres to open waters. The Project proposes widening approximately 13 miles of Texas State Highway 4 (SH 4) from the existing 2-lane roadway to a 4-lane divided roadway with two, 12-foot travel lanes and an 8- foot paved shoulder in each direction, with a 12-foot flush paved median separating opposing traffic. At the western end of the project, the 2-lane roadway would transition into a 3-lane roadway for a length of approximately 1,500 feet, with two, 12-foot lanes in the westbound direction and one, 12-24-foot lane in the eastbound direction, separated by a 12-14-foot median, before transitioning into the 4-lane roadway. Existing culverts would be extended to accommodate the widened typical section and turn lanes would be added at some intersections. The Project would be fully located within the existing SH 4 ROW. An 8-foot bike path with a 4- to 6-foot grass separation from the outside travel lane would be constructed on the south side of SH 4 for approximately 3.75 miles from Quicksilver Avenue (the southern end of the Rio West development) to LBJ Boulevard (the northern end of Boca Chica Village).
The applicant offered the following compensatory mitigation plan to offset unavoidable functional loss to the aquatic environment: TXDOT has proposed to purchase wind-tidal flat credits, mangrove forest credits, and emergent wetland credits from the currently under review Rockhands Mitigation Bank (SWG-2025-00405) to offset the 3.216 acres of wind-tidal flat impacts, 0.789 acres of scrub-shrub wetland impacts, and 24.090 acres of emergent wetland impacts. TXDOT is in the process of completing the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method forms for the aquatic resources that would be impacted by the project and will provide these to the Corps upon completion to determine the amount of mitigation credits needed to offset the proposed project impacts.
Type of Application: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit application # SWG-2025-00370. This application will be reviewed pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Note: The consistency review for this project may be conducted by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as part of its certification under §401 of the Clean Water Act.

Public Notice - Methodology for Determining Caseload Reduction Credit for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program for Federal Fiscal Year 2026
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) announces its intent to seek comments from the public on its estimate and methodology for determining the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program caseload reduction credit for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2026. HHSC will base the methodology on caseload reduction occurring from FFY 2015 to FFY 2025. This methodology and the resulting estimated caseload reduction credit will be submitted for approval to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families.
Section 407(b)(3) of the Social Security Act provides for a TANF caseload reduction credit, which gives a state credit for reducing its TANF caseload between a base year and a comparison year. To receive the credit, a state must complete and submit a report that, among other things, describes the methodology and the supporting data that the state used to calculate its caseload reduction estimates. See 45 C.F.R. §261.41(b)(5). Prior to submitting the report, the state must provide the public with an opportunity to comment on the estimate and methodology. See 45 C.F.R. §261.41(b)(6).
As the state agency that administers the TANF program in Texas, HHSC believes it is eligible for a caseload reduction credit and has developed the requisite estimate and methodology. HHSC hereby notifies the public of the opportunity to submit comments.
HHSC will post the methodology and the estimated caseload reduction credit on the HHSC website for FFY 2026 at https://hhs.texas.gov/about-hhs/records-statistics/data-statistics/temporary-assistance-needy-families-tanf-statistics by December 26, 2025. The public comment period begins December 26, 2025 and ends January 9, 2026.

Budget Execution Proposal
Pursuant to Texas Government Code, Section 317.002, this budget execution order is proposed for the following action items of appropriation made by Senate Bill No. 1, General Appropriations Act, Acts of the 89th Legislature, Regular Session, 2025.
We propose that all appropriation authority provided to Texas Southern University during the 2026-2027 state fiscal biennium relating to contracts or contract extensions signed after the effective date of this order is suspended effective immediately. Furthermore, we propose that all appropriation authority to Texas Southern University is limited to existing operational commitments, including salaries and benefits, existing debt service, scholarships, utilities, and general operational costs. No new contracts or contract extensions may be signed until the Legislature has reviewed the final report of the State Auditor and the concluded investigation by the Texas Rangers, and any needed correctional issues are resolved. Nothing in this order, however, is intended to preclude the ongoing education services of the institution. Accordingly, this order does not apply to existing operational commitments, such as contracts necessary to: support and maintain educational and general activities; perform routine operations regarding utilities, facilities, and equipment; or respond to emergencies.
