Unmarked Gas Lines Threaten North Texans’ Safety

It’s understandable to think that energy companies would clearly mark and map the natural gas pipelines which criss-cross North Texas. After all, state law requires it. However, numerous accidents in recent months suggest that natural gas pipeline companies may have failed to appropriately mark their subterranean work and that the Texas Railroad Commission may be shirking its duties. As a result, North Texas landowners and workers are at risk of striking an unmarked pipeline when excavating.

If you own land that’s littered with unmarked natural gas pipelines or if you’ve suffered an injury as a result of improperly marked and mapped pipes, you may have a case against the energy company or companies responsible for the proper laying, marking and mapping of pipe.
