HR 148 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Expressing support for a federally owned transcontinental pipeline system that runs from the western coast of the Mexico-United States border to refineries located along the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana.

This is a symbolic resolution (not a bill with legal effect), introduced by Texas Representative Dorazio in the 89th Texas Legislature. It expresses support for a hypothetical federally owned pipeline system running from the U.S.-Mexico border to Gulf Coast refineries, but does not create or fund any pipeline. The resolution describes speculative benefits, including using a "transport surcharge" to reduce national debt and influence international relations, but these mechanisms are not enacted by the resolution. As a procedural resolution, it has no binding policy impact.
