The Comptroller of Public Accounts, administering agency for the collection of the Oil Production Tax, has determined, as required by Tax Code, §202.058, that the average taxable price of oil for reporting period March 2026 is $35.95 per barrel for the three-month period beginning on December 1, 2025, and ending February 28, 2026. Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §202.058, oil produced during the month of March 2026, from a qualified low-producing oil lease, is not eligible for credit on the oil production tax imposed by Tax Code, Chapter 202.
The Comptroller of Public Accounts, administering agency for the collection of the Natural Gas Production Tax, has determined, as required by Tax Code, §201.059, that the average taxable price of gas for reporting period March 2026 is $1.17 per mcf for the three-month period beginning on December 1, 2025, and ending February 28, 2026. Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §201.059, gas produced during the month of March 2026, from a qualified low-producing well, is eligible for a 100% credit on the natural gas production tax imposed by Tax Code, Chapter 201.

Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §171.1011(r), a taxable entity shall not exclude total revenue received from oil produced during the month of March 2026, from a qualified low-producing oil well.
The Comptroller of Public Accounts, administering agency for the collection of the Franchise Tax, has determined, as required by Tax Code, §171.1011(s), that the average closing price of gas for the month of March 2026 is $3.03 per MMBtu. Therefore, pursuant to Tax Code, §171.1011(r), a taxable entity shall exclude total revenue received from gas produced during the month of March 2026, from a qualified low-producing gas well.

Correction of Error
In the March 13, 2026, issue of the Texas Register (51 TexReg 1704), the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) adopted amendments to 30 Texas Administrative Code §§331.19, 331.107, and 331.108.
Due to a publication error by TCEQ, there were some typos throughout. There were also typographical errors from the Texas Register that resulted in the character à being included throughout the text that can be disregarded.
On page 1705, in the second paragraph TCEQ published that the date the executive director commission determines the new or amended PAA application to be administratively complete. This should only reference the executive director, not the commission. The correct paragraph should read:
"The commission adopts the amendment to §331.108 by adding new §331.108(a)(4), which establishes that an application for a PAA is not subject to an opportunity for a contested case hearing if the Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain Permit is provided to the individual land owners, mineral rights owners and an applicable Groundwater Conservation District not later than 30 days after the date the executive director determines the new or amended PAA application to be administratively complete."
Additionally, on page 1705 on the bottom of the page under the Takings Impact Assessment, TCEQ included an extra "and" when referencing "certain aquifer and storage and recovery projects". This should read "certain aquifer storage and recovery projects"

Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Professional Engineering Services for Regional Water Planning Group - Area B
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), passed by the 75th Texas Legislature, mandated that the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) implement a statewide water planning program to ensure that the water needs of all Texans are met over the next 50 years. In response to this legislation, TWDB adopted state and regional water planning rules, delineated the state into sixteen regional areas, and selected the initial members for the Regional Water Planning Group serving in each area.
The Regional Water Planning Group - Area B (RWPG-B or Group) has been designated as Region B and consists of all or parts of the following eleven (11) Texas counties: Archer, Baylor, Clay, Cottle, Foard, Hardeman, King, Montague, Wichita, Wilbarger, and a portion of Young County that encompasses the City of Olney.
The RWPG-B is responsible for preparing and adopting a regional water plan for its area and for hiring a consultant to assist with its development, which includes the engineering, hydrological, environmental, legal, and institutional components. The planning process begins with the collection and analysis of many types of information related to regional water supplies and the demands placed on them by area users. The Group decides how future water needs may be met and includes information in their water plan data about water supplies and demand, water quality problems affecting the water supply, and the social and economic characteristics of the region. The plan will also identify water supply threats to agriculture and natural resources. Information on current drought preparations and the status of other water plans in the region will also be reviewed during plan development. In addition, the plan prioritizes water management strategies based on factors such as strategy cost, year of need, and the amount of water the strategy provides.
Before the plan can be finalized, the RWPG-B must provide for public input in the planning process, hold public meetings, and furnish a draft report of the plan for public review and comment. The water plan must address the needs of all water users and suppliers in their region (except certain political subdivisions that decide not to participate). Once this process is complete, the final adopted plan will be forwarded to TWDB for approval and incorporation into a comprehensive state water plan.
2.0 SOLICITATION
The Red River Authority of Texas (the Authority), on behalf of the RWPG-B, is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from engineering/planning firms qualified to provide professional consulting services for Regional Water Planning activities. The Authority is the administrative entity for the RWPG-B, and as such, will be the contracting party on behalf of the Group. The SOQ should be submitted in accordance with the instructions listed in ITEM 7 below.
3.0 SCOPE OF WORK
The RWPG-B has not approved a complete Scope of Work (SOW) for the preparation of its Seventh Cycle Regional Water Plan. However, general guidance documents related to the planning effort will be posted to the Texas Water Development Board Website at the following link:
https://www.twdb.texas.gov/waterplanning/rwp/planningdocu/2031/rfa_docs.asp
The applicant should include in their SOQ their reasons and assurances that they can perform the professional services required under TWDB regulations and guidance related to regional water planning, as found at the link above.
Funding of Regional Water Planning activities by the Texas Water Development Board is contingent upon continued legislative appropriations. Because regional water planning activities cover multiple funding biennium, changes in funding legislative appropriations may result in changes to the approved SOW. Respondents may contact the following individual regarding clarification of the Request for Qualification:
