The Alliance is thrilled to report that Hunter Carr, VP of Carr Resources, has been elected as our new Board Chairman! A Tyler, Texas native, Carr brings more than a decade of experience spanning petroleum and geothermal geology, business development, and operations. His background integrating technical, financial, and operational disciplines equips him to address the complex regulatory and market challenges facing Texas producers (Lucky for us!). We look forward to working with him during his two-year term! By the way, this makes two "cars" in leadership at the Alliance: Hunter Carr and Karr Ingham, our esteemed President!

It's the Come and Take It festival weekend in Gonzales, Texas, celebrating the 190th anniversary of the Battle of Gonzales! On October 2, 1835, the first shot in the Texas revolution occurred near Gonzales. Mexican forces arrived to retrieve a cannon originally given to the Texas settlers to defend against Comanche and Apache attacks. The "Texians" refused and adopted “Come and Take It” as their rallying cry. The women of Gonzales created the flag from an old wedding dress (see replica below). The flag flew high during the Battle of Gonzales, where the defenders emerged victorious and paved the way for the Republic of Texas. Emboldened by the cause, a group of 32 men and boys from Gonzales arrived at the Alamo on March 1, 1836. The “Immortal 32” became the only reinforcements the Alamo defenders received. It is in this spirit that we have adopted the slogan in defiance of attempts to obliterate the oil and gas industry. Come and Take It.

If implemented, the plan will result in more jobs, less waste, and more global competitiveness. lonestarstandard.com/stories… via @LSStandard @AmChemistry @plasticmakers #EconomicDevelopment #RecycleMorePlastics #Petrochemicals #Oil #energy #txenergy

This included describing the importance of smaller, independent producers to the Texas economy and how they are heavily impacted by new regulations.
