Notice of Settlement of a Recovery Action for Response Costs
The State of Texas gives notice of the following proposed resolution of an action to recover costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Before the State may enter into a voluntary settlement agreement, pursuant to section 7.110 of the Texas Water Code, the State shall permit the public to comment in writing. The Attorney General will consider any written comments and may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations indicating that consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the law.
Case Title: State of Texas v. Hydro Resources Corporation; Case No. 5:25-cv-00236-H, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
Background: On October 31, 2025, the State of Texas filed a Complaint against Hydro Resources Corporation (Hydro) for cost recovery under Section 107 of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. § 9607, related to response and cleanup actions taken at a site in Anton, Texas. The Complaint alleges that Hydro is liable under CERCLA for costs incurred by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in connection with response actions taken at the site in Anton, which was formerly operated by Bulldog Services, LLC. Specifically, Hydro stored six drums containing cyanide waste on the site, at least some of which were uncovered, posing a threat to public health and the environment. TCEQ spent $32,850.35 to remove the drums from the site and arrange for their transportation and disposal.
Proposed Settlement: Hydro will pay $26,000 to the State under the proposed Consent Decree. Of this total, $25,000 is designated as reimbursement for the response costs, and $1,000 is designated as the State's reasonable attorney's fees.
For a complete description of the settlement, the Complaint and proposed Consent Decree should be reviewed in its entirety. Requests for copies of the Complaint and proposed Consent Decree, and written comments on the same, should be directed to Michael Burcham, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General of Texas, P.O. Box 12548, MC-066, Austin, Texas 78711-2548, phone (512) 475-4018, facsimile (512) 320-0911, email address: michael.burcham@oag.texas.gov. Written comments must be received within 30 days of publication of this notice to be considered.

Notice of Update to the Texas Private Real Property Rights Preservation Act Guidelines
The Office of the Attorney General intends to revise the Texas Private Real Property Rights Preservation Act Guidelines (the Guidelines) found on the Office's website and is publishing the proposed changes in the Texas Register for 30 days so that the Office may accept public comment regarding the proposed settlement.
Under section 2007.041 of the Texas Government Code, the Attorney General must (1) prepare guidelines to assist governmental entities in identifying and evaluating governmental actions described in section 2007.003(a)(1)-(3) that may result in a taking, (2) file the guidelines with the Secretary of State for publication in the Texas Register in the manner prescribed by chapter 2002 of the Texas Government Code, and (3) review the guidelines at least annually and revise the guidelines as necessary to ensure consistency with the actions of the Texas Legislature and the decisions of the United States Supreme Court and the Texas Supreme Court. The Office of the Attorney General thus intends to revise and update the Guidelines as indicated herein and will accept public comment on the proposed changes.
In 2024, the Texas Supreme Court issued its decision in Texas Department of Transportation v. Self, 690 S.W.3d 12 (Tex. 2024), which clarified the elements of a taking and specified the requisite intent for a taking. Specifically, the Court stated that, for a taking to occur, certain acts must result "in taking, damaging, or destroying the property for, or applying it to . . . public use." Id. at 26. Further, the Court stated that a governmental entity's mistaken belief regarding the legal right to take a specific action does not, in and of itself, exempt that action as a taking: "[T]he government must pay compensation when it intentionally takes private property for public use--even if the government mistakenly believes that it has a legal right to do so apart from its power of eminent domain." Id. at 29.
The Office of the Attorney General proposes to update the Guidelines to reflect the decision in Self in two ways. The first proposed update would specify that taking may result from actions that, in addition to taking property, result in the damage or destruction of property. The second update spells out the clarification in Self that a mistaken belief does not exempt an action from being a taking. No other actions or decisions of the Texas Legislature, United States Supreme Court, or Texas Supreme Court warrant any update to the Guidelines.
Written comments regarding changes to the Guidelines may be directed to: Wesley S. Williams, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Attorney General, P.O. Box 12548, MC-066, Austin, Texas 78711-2548, faxed to his attention at (512) 320-0911, or emailed to wesley.williams@oag.texas.gov. Written comments must be received within 30 days of publication of this notice to be considered.

Comptroller of Public Accounts
Certification of the Average Closing Price of Gas and Oil - November 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 November 2025 is $37.58 per barrel for the three-month period beginning on August 1, 2025, and ending October 31, 2025. Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §202.058, oil produced during the month of November 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 November 2025 is $1.22 per mcf for the three-month period beginning on August 1, 2025, and ending October 31, 2025. Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §201.059, gas produced during the month of November 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 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 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 November 2025 is $59.48 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 November 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 November 2025 is $4.64 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 November 2025, from a qualified low-producing gas well.
Inquiries should be submitted to Jenny Burleson, Director, Tax Policy Division, P.O. Box 13528, Austin, Texas 78711-3528.

Public Notice
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is submitting a request to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to renew the Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) Statewide Fee-for-Service (FFS) Selective Contracting waiver authorized under §1915(b)(4) of the Social Security Act (the Act). HHSC provides NEMT services under the Texas Medicaid state plan, and CMS approved HHSC's waiver through May 31, 2026, for the NEMT FFS Selective Contracting program which limits choice of demand response transportation service (DRTS) providers. The proposed effective date for this renewal is June 1, 2026.
HHSC intends to continue to selectively contract with providers for the provision of NEMT FFS DRTS to the Medicaid FFS population in the State of Texas. DRTS is considered transportation that involves using contractor dispatched vehicles in response to on-demand requests for individual or shared one-way trips. The utilization of selective contracts affords HHSC the ability to continue the uninterrupted delivery of DRTS to Medicaid-eligible clients.
Services for clients in FFS will remain unchanged. HHSC will ensure DRTS are available statewide, are similar in scope and duration for all eligible clients, consistent with the best interest of clients, appropriate to available services, geographic locations, and limitation of clients, reasonably prompt, and administratively efficient.
This renewal specifies HHSC has management and operational oversight for the statewide FFS DRTS. The changes in this renewal include the following: this renewal identifies individuals receiving retroactive eligibility as an excluded population only during the period of retroactive enrollment; this renewal updates the approximate number of Medicaid FFS clients that are eligible for NEMT services and the approximate total of clients that use FFS NEMT services. HHSC also updated the number of participants where appropriate. This renewal includes an updated provider capacity analysis spreadsheet. Outdated language was also removed or edited. For example, language regarding the planned termination of medical transportation organizations (MTOs) was updated as the terminations were completed during the implementation of the initial waiver. This renewal updates the monitoring frequency of providers from monthly to quarterly. HHSC also updated the projected waiver expenditures for the renewal period.

The proposed effective date for this amendment is February 28, 2026. This amendment proposes to make the following changes:
Appendix B
HHSC updated waiver year (WY) three (March 1, 2025 through February 28, 2026) through WY five (March 1, 2027 through February 28, 2028) to reflect an increase in the Point-in-Time (PIT) and unduplicated participants (Factor C).
Appendix J

The DBMD waiver program provides essential home and community-based services and supports to individuals with legal blindness, deafness, or a condition that leads to deafblindness, and at least one additional disability that limits functional abilities and who live in their own homes or in the home of another person, such as a family member or in a small group home setting. Services and supports are intended to enhance quality of life, functional independence, health and welfare, and to supplement, rather than replace, existing informal or formal supports and resources. Services in the DBMD waiver program are case management, residential habilitation, respite (in-home and out of home), supported employment, prescribed medications, financial management services, support consultation, adaptive aids and medical supplies, assisted living, audiology services, behavioral support, chore services, dental treatment, dietary services, employment assistance, intervener, minor home modifications, nursing, occupational therapy services, orientation and mobility, physical therapy services, speech, hearing and language therapy, transition assistance services, employment readiness and individualized skills and socialization.
