HB 4612 revises regulations for testing inactive wells under the jurisdiction of the Texas Railroad Commission. It mandates that operators notify the relevant Railroad Commission district office, groundwater conservation districts within three miles, and the surface estate owner before conducting fluid level or hydraulic pressure tests. Operators must receive approval from the Commission office before testing, and the results of unsuccessful tests must be shared with groundwater conservation districts and surface owners​.
