Texas Health and Safety Code and Texas Water Code Settlement Notice
The State of Texas gives notice of the following proposed resolution of an environmental enforcement action under the Texas Health and Safety Code, Texas Water Code, and Texas Administrative Code. 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 and Court: State of Texas v. Jackie Reaves; Cause No. D-1-GN-24-008139, in the 459th District Court of Travis County, Texas.
Background: Defendant Jackie Reaves ("Reaves") operates a cattle ranching operation located at 260 County Road 1791, Sunset, Texas 76528 (the "Facility"). Over the course of multiple investigations conducted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ("TCEQ") from December 3, 2018, to September 23, 2020, Reaves was found to be in violation of 30 Texas Administrative Code §335.4 for his failure to prevent the unauthorized disposal of industrial solid waste ("ISW") consisting of cow carcasses and Tex. Water Code §§ 26.121(a)(1) and (c) for the failure to prevent the unauthorized discharge of waste into or adjacent to any water in the state. Reaves signed an Agreed Administrative Order with TCEQ on February 23, 2021. However, Reaves failed to complete the full terms of the Agreed Administrative Order. TCEQ continued to receive complaints alleging strong smells of decomposing cattle and the continued unauthorized and improper disposal of ISW at the Site from May 2021 to September 2024.
Proposed Settlement: The State and Reaves propose an Agreed Final Judgment ("AFJ") that requires Reaves to cease disposing of, storing, or accepting any ISW at the Site, including livestock carcasses, and immediately begin disposing of all ISW and livestock carcasses at a TCEQ-permitted facility authorized to accept such waste. Reaves must also remove any ISW in the form of cattle carcasses not properly buried on site and provide certification of such action to TCEQ. Further, the AFJ awards the State $10,000.00 in civil penalties.
For a complete description of the proposed settlement, the AFJ should be reviewed in its entirety. Requests for copies of the proposed judgment and settlement, and written comments on the same, should be directed to Ian Lancaster, Assistant Attorney General, Office of the Texas Attorney General, P.O. Box 12548, MC-066, Austin, Texas 78711-2548, (512) 463-2012, facsimile (512) 320-0911, email: Ian.Lancaster@oag.texas.gov.

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 April 2026 is $42.26 per barrel for the three-month period beginning on January 1, 2026, and ending March 31, 2026. Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §202.058, oil produced during the month of April 2026, from a qualified low-producing oil lease, is not eligible for credit on the oil production tax imposed by Tax Code, Chapter 202.
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 April 2026 is $1.18 per mcf for the three-month period beginning on January 1, 2026, and ending March 31, 2026. Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §201.059, gas produced during the month of April 2026, from a qualified low-producing well, is eligible for a 100% credit on the natural gas production tax imposed by Tax Code, Chapter 201.

Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §171.1011(r), a taxable entity shall not exclude total revenue received from oil produced during the month of April 2026, 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 April 2026 is $2.67 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 April 2026, from a qualified low-producing gas well.

Combined Notice of Public Meeting and Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision for TPDES Permit for Municipal Wastewater New Permit No. WQ0016849001
APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. Rick Wagner Farms LLC, 3553 U.S. Highway 190 West, Livingston, Texas 77351, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for new Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Permit No. WQ0016849001, to authorize the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 60,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on July 16, 2025.
The facility will be located approximately 79 feet northeast of the intersection of Farm-to-Market Road 2457 and Indian Hill Boulevard, in Polk County, Texas 77351. The treated effluent will be discharged directly to Lake Livingston in Segment No. 0803 of the Trinity River Basin. The designated uses for Segment No. 0803 are primary contact recreation, public water supply, and high aquatic life use. In accordance with 30 Texas Administrative Code Section 307.5 and the 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 Lake Livingston, which has been identified as having high aquatic life use. 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.

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. The permit application, Executive Director's preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at Friends of the Library, Livingston Municipal Library, 707 North Tyler Avenue, Livingston, in Polk County, Texas. The application and associated notices are available electronically for viewing and copying at the following webpage: https://www.tceq.texas.gov/permitting/wastewater/pending-permits/tpdes-applications.
ALTERNATIVE LANGUAGE NOTICE. Alternative language notice in Spanish is available at https://www.tceq.texas.gov/permitting/wastewater/plain-language-summaries-and-public-notices. El aviso de idioma alternativo en español está disponible en https://www.tceq.texas.gov/permitting/wastewater/plain-language-summaries-and-public-notices.
PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this application. The TCEQ will hold a public meeting on this application because of significant public interest.
The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the public an opportunity to submit comments or ask questions about the application. A public meeting consists of two parts: an Informal Discussion Period and a Formal Comment Period. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing under the Administrative Procedure Act. During the Informal Discussion Period, the public will be encouraged to ask the applicant and TCEQ staff questions concerning the permit application. The comments and questions submitted orally during the Informal Discussion Period will not be considered before a decision is reached on the permit application and no formal response will be made. Oral responses will be provided during the Informal Discussion Period. During the Formal Comment Period on the permit application, members of the public may orally state their formal comments into the official record. A written response to all timely, relevant and material, or significant comments will be prepared by the Executive Director. All formal comments will be considered before a decision is reached on the permit application. A copy of the written response will be sent to each person who submits a formal comment or who requested to be on the mailing list for this permit application and provides a mailing address. Only relevant and material issues raised during the Formal Comment Period can be considered if a contested case hearing is granted on this permit application.
The Public Meeting is to be held:
Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
VFW Hall Post 8568
4951 US Highway 190 W
Livingston, Texas 77351
Persons with disabilities who need special accommodations at the meeting should call the Office of the Chief Clerk at (512) 239-3300 or (800) RELAY-TX (TDD) at least five business days prior to the meeting.
OPPORTUNITY FOR A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Director's decision. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district court.
TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name, address, phone number; applicant's name and proposed permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the proposed facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; a list of all disputed issues of fact that you submit during the comment period; and the statement "[I/we] request a contested case hearing." If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group's representative for receiving future correspondence; identify by name and physical address an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member's location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are relevant to the group's purpose.
Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Executive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.
The Commission may only grant a request for a contested case hearing on issues the requestor submitted in their timely comments that were not subsequently withdrawn. If a hearing is granted, the subject of a hearing will be limited to disputed issues of fact or mixed questions of fact and law relating to relevant and material water quality concerns submitted during the comment period.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed. If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and request to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.
MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Director's decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to be placed on the permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send your request to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.

PRELIMINARY DECISION. The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the amendment application and prepared a draft license. The draft license, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this license, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements.
The TCEQ Executive Director has determined that a minor amendment to the license is appropriate because it does not pose a detrimental impact and is in consideration of maintaining public health and safety, worker safety, and environmental health. The license will be amended to authorize an increase in the concentration values in Table 1 for procedure RS-5.0.0 for the nuclides Tc-99, Am-241, and Sr-90 for disposal in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) facility under license condition (LC) 192.
