PBPA is your voice in Austin, Santa Fe, and Washington, D.C., with dedicated staff and consultants building strong relationships with elected officials and regulatory agencies. During each legislative session, our team diligently monitors and advocates on hundreds of bills and proposed regulations that directly impact the oil and gas industry. These include environmental regulations, taxation, water management, transportation, air quality, permitting, and anti-fracking initiatives.

Members at the Wildcat level and higher can take their involvement to the next level by joining the Legislative Committees or Regulatory Practices Committee. These groups offer members the opportunity to provide input, help shape policy priorities, and stay informed on key legislative and regulatory developments that matter most to their organizations.
