These measures included launching a Theft Prevention Unit at the Texas Department of Public Safety, authorizing local law enforcement to confiscate stolen petroleum products, and implementing a program to inspect oil and gas tankers for potential theft.

The Governor expressed his appreciation for all those working in the oil and gas industry who provide Texans with essential power for their daily lives. He concluded his remarks by thanking everyone involved for helping make Texas a leading state.
