The Gas Services Division (formerly the Gas Utilities Division) of the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) establishes rates and services for gas utilities and their customers and enforces those rates. It also maintains safety standards for gas and hazardous liquids pipeline systems; oversees intrastate gathering and storage services; and adopts and maintains adequate safety rules and standards in the handling, transportation, and odorization of LP-gases. This series contains correspondence and various odorization reports, dating 1973-1978. Texas law requires natural gas companies to odorize the gas with a malodorant so as to indicate the presence of gas in case of a leak or rupture in the pipeline system. The Gas Utilities Division of the Railroad Commission of Texas enforces this law by requiring regular tests and reports.
