How Rates Are Set

  • Rates for natural gas utility customers in Texas are set by the municipalities (cities) where natural gas distribution companies (like Texas Gas Service) operate.
  • State law gives the city the authority to review and approve these rates.
  • Texas Gas Service must file new rates with, and gain approval from, each city we provide natural gas service.
  • If you live outside city limits, the Texas Railroad Commission has the authority to review and approve your natural gas rates.
  • When a utility files for new rates, the city has up to 125 days to review, approve and implement the rates.
