9. Learn About the
Railroad Commission
of Texas
By Frank Le Grand
Hear guest speaker Ronald L. Kitchens address the Men’s Club at the monthly
luncheon on Thursday, May 17. This should be a very informative talk about
The Railroad Commission of Texas. The Commission was created by the State
in 1891 to regulate the private railroads spreading across the state. This resulted
in economic regulation (passenger fares, shipping rates), including entry and
exit authority (what locations to be served). Over the years, the Commission's
jurisdiction grew to encompass many activities: oil and gas production and
transportation (1919), gas utilities (1920), buses and trucks (1931), liquefied
petroleum gas (1939), surface mining and reclamation (1976), and alternate
fuels research (1991). Economic regulation was joined by health, safety, and
Bunny and Friends. environmental regulation. The last decades have brought regulatory changes.
The Commission no longer regulates buses and trucks or railroads. The state's
oil and gas industry remains, however, a primary focus of the Railroad Commis-
sion of Texas.
Ronald L. Kitchens was most recently employed as the executive director of
the Railroad Commission of Texas, where he also served as director of energy
operations and gas services. He is a member of the Interstate Oil and Gas Com-
pact Commission and the Potential Gas Committee. He was previously elected
mayor and councilman of Manvel, Texas. Kitchens received a bachelor’s degree,
a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Science in mathematics
from the University of Houston.
