A regulatory reporting firm, and nothing else

What we do

Recurring regulatory reporting is narrow, unglamorous, deadline-driven work. Some reports come due every month, others once a year, and a few on cycles of their own. They are filed in more than one system, they are checked against one another, and a report that does not reconcile comes back and holds up the one behind it.

Most firms that file these reports do so as one service among twenty. We took the opposite view. A filing calendar run properly is a discipline, not a task to be fitted around larger work, and an operator is better served by someone for whom it is the main event.

The standard we hold

Every number we submit is checked against the operator's own records before it is filed. Where something does not agree, we come back with the line and the document it came from. We do not resolve a discrepancy on an operator's behalf and file it quietly, because the filing goes in under their name and the responsibility stays with them.

Nothing is submitted without approval. If a report is wrong because of how we prepared it, we prepare and file the amendment at no charge and work it with Commission staff until it clears. We do not bill for correcting our own work.

The scope we keep

These reports are built from run tickets, meter readings and hauler statements. They are not built from revenue statements, joint interest billing or bank records, so we do not ask for those and we never see them.

That boundary is deliberate. Most firms in this field are accounting practices that file as an extension of the books they already keep. We are not an accounting firm. We do not work permits or leases and we do not go to the field. Where an operator needs that work, we say so rather than take it on.

What we publish

We maintain a public library of guides to these filings, written from the Commission's own instructions and the current filing system, with the source documents linked on every page. They explain what each report is, who owes it, how it is filed, what the deadlines are, and how the rules changed most recently.

They are free, they carry no registration, and they are detailed enough that an operator can use them to file without us. We publish them because the fastest way to judge whether a firm knows this material is to read what it has written about it. Read the guides before you speak to anyone here.

Who we work with

Small and independent Texas operators. In the Commission's own records the median disposal operator runs two facilities and almost half run exactly one, and the median operator filing production holds four leases. An operation that size is not the small end of this market. It is the middle of it, and it is the part of the market that is least well served, because it carries the same filing calendar as a large operator without anyone on staff to run it.

We are a small firm by design. It is what allows us to take an operator with one facility seriously, and it is why the person who prepares a filing is the same person who answers the phone about it.

An operator's filing history is public record. We will rebuild yours, show you what we found and which period each item came from, and give you a price to take the reporting on. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
