Railroad Commission Texas v. High Plains Natural Gas Company

Per Curiam ON MOTION FOR REHEARING High Plains Natural Gas Company appealed two Railroad Commission orders relating to rates it could charge its customers. The Commission denied the gas company's application that requested: (1) the base rate to relate back to a period covered under a prior docket; (2) recovery of ten percent of the incremental increase of gas cost over the base rate that was not charged directly to customers under a ninety percent purchase gas adjustment (PGA) clause; and (3) a one hundred percent PGA clause. The trial court set aside the orders of the Railroad Commission and the court of civil appeals affirmed the judgment of the trial court. 613 S.W.2d 46. We refuse petitioner's application for writ of error, no reversible error. The facts are well stated in the opinion by the court of civil appeals and repetition here is not necessary.
