Texas Railroad Commission · W-1 drilling permits
Texas drilling permits, issued daily
Every drilling permit the Railroad Commission issues, the day it issues it: statewide, by RRC district, by county and by operator. The permits file is RRC's own daily extract, decoded and joined to the county and district tables so a day, a district or a company is one click and one download.
Data through August 19, 2026. RRC posts the daily permit file each business day and EZRRC ingests it nightly.
