Galveston City Council recently passed a resolution to push #TCEQ to list preproduction plastic products as industrial solid waste. Leaks from facilities producing these plastics affect economies, food supply chains & our health: bit.ly/3XHlULy. #EnvironmentalJustice
Polluters go virtually unchecked in Texas 👎
🚨 We’re demanding that #TCEQ sticks to its commitment and publishes a draft rule for comment by this August to limit oil & gas pollution 🚨
And we need your voice! Send TCEQ a message - Texans want smart methane management

The 2025 #TCEQ Public Drinking Water Conference had a session on #weather. The bottom line: it seems like Texas is done with rains for a while and the #HurricaneSeason is expected to be above average.
Abbott's House Bill 49 allows farmers to use treated fracking water starting Sep 2025. Who knows what toxic stew Gulf shrimp will deliver to your plate. #TCEQ works for Abbott, Abbott works for corporate donors. #txlege we are not safe

Just wrapped up the 2025 TCEQ Trade Fair & Conference. Loved the new venue in SATX and had a great time networking, learning updates to environmental regulations, and hearing about current industry trends and interagency collaboration.

Well that's a fuckin' whirlwind of a story. Between this article, and the previous five in the six-part series ("State of Denial"), an (in my opinion) impenetrable case is made that TCEQ is a sham […]

#TCEQ lacks the requisite data to fully understand the #toxicity of the constituents found in #ProducedWater. Texas needs more time to uncover the health and environmental risks associated with treatment and #reuse of produced water.
My dad just died from renal cancer after drinking #PFAS contaminated #EastTexas water for 20 years. #TCEQ said "no need for alternative water supply" even the levels were high. I told him not to drink it but he was stubborn. Otherwise completely healthy. Coulda lived 20 more years. 🤨
@texastribune.org please share with the #RailroadCommissionofTexas, #TCEQ, #GLO, and other agencies that manage and oversee TX #naturalresources.
