The series contains the minutes of the Railroad Commission from 1887-1891 and 1897-1944.

The minutes document the topics of discussion, decisions made, and actions taken by the Commission regarding rates, notices, and rules for railroads, common carriers, canal companies, telephone and telegraph companies, and public utilities.
