How to Search for T-4 Permits

Pipeline operators in Texas are required by 16 TAC §3.70 to have a valid permit to legally operate their lines if they leave any tract of land that the operator controls (this control can either be by ownership or by lease agreement). Permits are acquired by submitting form T-4, a valid map, and a brief cover letter explaining what is taking place. The permit issued to the operator is also called a T-4A. Permits must be amended whenever changes take place (also can be done with a form T-4 and maps) and if no changes are made, need to be renewed annually with a form T-4C. There are currently about 8600 permits, but only about half are active. Online Permit files are updated approximately monthly.
