Terms Used In Texas Natural Resources Code 81.055
- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
- Rule: includes regulation. See Texas Government Code 311.005
(b) If the legislature finds that adoption of such a requirement is desirable, the commission by rule may require an owner, operator, or manager of a pipeline system to obtain evidence of financial responsibility. The rules must specify the appropriate form and amount of that evidence and may require evidence of financial responsibility in different amounts for different pipeline systems, taking into consideration whether the pipeline system:
(1) has a history of discharges or other violations of regulatory requirements; or
(2) is located over a public drinking water supply, a natural resource, or a critical groundwater resource or near a school or populated area.
