At a November 6 event, Texas Railroad Commission Chairwoman
Christi Craddick unequivocally stated that the Commission would continue to issue drilling permits to
operators in Denton, despite the November 4 vote making it the
first city in Texas to ban hydraulic fracturing. "It's my
job to give permits, not Denton's. We're going to continue
permitting up there because that's my job," said Craddick
at an event sponsored by the Texas Tribune.
Chairwoman Craddick's comments are similar to the arguments
raised in the lawsuits filed last week by the Texas General
Land Office and the Texas Oil and Gas Association, which assert
that Denton's municipal fracking ban is preempted by the Texas
constitution and statewide laws governing the development of oil
and gas.
The North America Shale Blog will continue to monitor
developments in the litigation related to the Denton fracking
ban.
