SAN ANGELO – The 19th West Texas Legislative Summit held at Angelo State University Tuesday brought a diverse group of stakeholders from across West Texas together with Austin and Washington elected officials to hash out difficult issues and provide solutions to the most perplexing challenges of the day. 

One of the voices resounding for common sense solutions to plugging environmentally dangerous leaking oil and gas wells across West Texas is attorney Sara Stogner.  Stogner gained national attention while running for Texas Railroad Commissioner in 2022.  

Stogner explains how injecting produced water causes all kinds of issues that need to be addressed to ensure the water supply for the western half of the state: 

Stogner's website describes her as an Oil, Gas, Cannabis, Aviation Attorney for Texas and Louisiana.  

During our wide ranging conversation, Stogner outlined her political plans going forward.
