SB 2635 renames the Railroad Commission of Texas as the Texas Oil, Gas, and Minerals Commission to better reflect its regulatory functions. The bill updates statutory references to reflect the name change but does not alter the agency’s authority, structure, or existing decisions. It clarifies that the commission’s members will continue to be elected in statewide elections and maintains the existing sunset review process, requiring legislative reauthorization by September 1, 2029.
