The Texas Railroad Commission was founded by native Texan Thomas H. Ball in 1891. Initially established to regulate the railroad industry, the commission's role later expanded to oversee the state's oil and gas industry. Ball served as one of the early commissioners, helping to shape the regulatory framework in Texas. The commission remains a crucial entity in the state's energy sector today.
