HB 3035 establishes an Organized Oilfield Theft Prevention Unit within the Texas Department of Public Safety to combat oil and gas equipment theft. The unit will investigate offenses related to the theft of drilling equipment, pipelines, petroleum products, and vehicles used in oil and gas operations. It will operate primarily along the Texas-Mexico border, coordinating with local, state, and federal agencies. The unit must submit biennial reports on its effectiveness, including statistics on arrests, prosecutions, and asset recovery.
