The Board has requested comments from the public and registered geoscientists. HGS plans to assist with a public commentary meeting with the Texas Board in Houston in mid-January. Be sure to check the HGS Website for date and time (to be posted when available) and make your opinion known, either in person or by email to the Texas Board.
