Texas RRC Form T-1 Monthly Transportation and Storage Report Retrieval Provenance Worksheet

Direct answer for mineral owners

Give one authorized manual profileId 29 attempt a neutral ID. Record the official route, profile identity, timestamp, source scope, controlled criteria, access and result states, evidence, and only located, not located, or unverified. Treat HTTP 403 and every incomplete attempt as unverified. Do not interpret a report or infer facility, operator, production, transportation, storage, inventory, property, ownership, value, offer, legal, tax, compliance, or transaction facts.

Key takeaways for mineral owners

• Start from the official RRC Imaged Records menu and keep the Form T-1 profileId 29 attempt separate from other profiles, form materials, filing systems, and EDI submission.
• Preserve the menu statement that the profile covers January 2013 forward as dated source scope, not proof that a particular report exists or is complete.
• Record source-displayed criteria labels and exact entered criteria in a controlled record without publishing unnecessary organization, facility, district, or reporting-period identifiers.
• Treat HTTP 403, access blocks, errors, timeouts, validation failures, default states, session interruptions, CAPTCHAs, and unavailable viewers as unverified.
• Use not located only after a completed empty result attributable to accepted recorded criteria, and stop before interpreting a report or inferring a substantive fact.

Public retrieval boundary. This article records one authorized manual attempt through the Texas Railroad Commission’s Imaged Records Monthly Transportation and Storage Reports (Form T-1) profile. It does not interpret a report or determine completeness, facility or operator identity, production, transportation, storage, inventory, compliance, property connection, ownership, title, lease, royalty, payment, acreage, value, offer quality, legal effect, tax, or transaction outcome. It does not provide legal, title, land, regulatory, geological, engineering, tax, accounting, appraisal, investment, or financial advice. MRX provides educational information and resources only and does not buy mineral rights.

A Texas RRC Form T-1 report retrieval worksheet preserves how one manual source attempt occurred. It identifies the official route and profile, timestamps the attempt, records source-described coverage, points to controlled criteria, keeps access and result states separate, retains evidence, and assigns one bounded outcome.

Use only located, not located, or unverified. These labels describe one retrieval event. They do not turn a profile name, coverage statement, result row, document link, image, form, filing route, or empty state into a conclusion about a facility, operator, property, owner, lease, production, transportation, storage, inventory, royalty, valuation, offer, or transaction.

Start with the official query directory

Open the Texas RRC Research Queries directory and retain its current Oil and Gas Imaged Records entry route. Before opening any profile, record the directory URL, displayed source label, access date, clock time, timezone, and menu destination.

The separate Imaged Records page supplies the official path into the imaged-record family. Preserve that route as provenance. Do not infer that a T-1 report exists merely because the family is available, and do not switch to a neighboring profile, form page, filing system, or EDI route because it appears easier to use.

This worksheet covers one authorized manual attempt. It does not create an automated research process. Do not scrape, poll, retrieve in volume, bypass access controls, automate CAPTCHA handling, or work around validation, timeout, session, or viewer behavior. When the official path cannot be completed as authorized, record the stop and use unverified.

Lock profileId 29 and its source scope

The official Imaged Records Query Menu identifies Monthly Transportation and Storage Reports (Form T-1) and links it as profileId=29. Preserve the menu URL, displayed profile label, link destination, and access timestamp. The profile ID is route provenance; it is not a facility, operator, property, organization, or report identifier.

The menu states that the profile includes dates from January 2013 forward. Record that statement as source-described coverage with the access date. It does not establish continuous monthly coverage, report completeness, or the existence, identity, availability, or relevance of any particular report.

Route or source	Boundary for this worksheet
Form T-1 profileId 29	Preserve one manual attempt, displayed states, evidence, and source-described scope.
Form P-18 and other imaged-record profiles	Separate collections; do not merge their criteria or results.
Current T-1 forms and instructions	Separate form materials; do not substitute them for an imaged-record result.
RRC Online or T-1 EDI filing	Separate submission systems; this worksheet does not prepare or submit a filing.
Production and other electronic queries	Separate systems with different criteria, coverage, and response states.
Energy Depot or paid records research	Outside this public, no-new-charge worksheet.

The form name is source terminology, not a substantive finding. It does not show that a report is complete, that data belongs to a reader’s interest, or that any facility, operator, production, transportation, storage, inventory, compliance, ownership, or payment fact is true.

Preserve the current HTTP 403 state

During article preparation, a direct request to the official profile route at profileId=29 returned HTTP 403. No profile page was captured, no criteria controls were verified, no values were entered, and no query completed. The defensible outcome for that attempt is unverified.

An access response is not a search result. HTTP 403, a blocked page, an error, a timeout, a validation failure, a default screen, an interrupted session, a CAPTCHA, an unavailable viewer, or any incomplete attempt does not show that a report is absent. Preserve the route, timestamp, response state, stop point, and evidence reference without attempting a bypass.

Build the attempt header before using controls

Assign a neutral attempt ID that does not expose a facility, operator, organization, property, ownership, or transaction value. Then preserve:

• the official directory, Imaged Records, menu, and profile URLs;
• the displayed Form T-1 profile label and profileId=29;
• the access date, clock time, and explicit timezone;
• the source-described January 2013-forward coverage note and access date;
• the authorized manual access method;
• the exact source-displayed criteria labels, if the profile loads;
• a controlled criteria-set reference and exact entered or selected values in that controlled record;
• the manual submit control or method;
• the displayed access, validation, submission, result, or interruption state;
• any report link, image, download, or viewer state actually presented;
• the retained evidence location, access restrictions, and file-integrity reference; and
• the transfer destination, recipient limits, unresolved questions, and recheck requirement.

Do not publish organization numbers, facility identifiers, districts, locations, reporting periods, or private-party values merely because a source accepts or displays them. Keep necessary values in an authorized controlled location and let the worksheet point to that record.

Keep current form materials separate

The RRC Oil and Gas Forms page identifies Form T-1 as the Monthly Transportation and Storage Report and links the form family and instructions. The RRC’s February 15, 2024 notice states that new Form T-1 versions became required on May 1, 2024 and describes several added filing fields. Those sources establish bounded form identity and dated current-form context. They do not complete the blocked profileId=29 attempt.

Record four layers separately:

1. Profile context: the official menu label, profile ID, and source-described coverage.
2. Attempt state: what the authorized manual profile session displayed or prevented.
3. Document state: whether a responsive row, link, image, download, or viewer state appeared.
4. Adjacent-source context: what a separate form, instruction, filing, EDI, or query route says.

Never fill a gap in one layer with evidence from another. A current form does not prove that an imaged-record profile returned a result. A filing notice does not prove that any particular report was filed, accepted, complete, or retrievable. A profile label does not establish a production, transportation, storage, inventory, facility, operator, property, or ownership fact.

This worksheet does not explain how to complete Form T-1, decide who must file it, satisfy a filing obligation, submit an EDI record, interpret a reported quantity, reconcile balances, or test regulatory compliance. Those are different tasks and may require current agency instructions and qualified professional review.

Record criteria without interpreting them

If the profile later loads, transcribe its displayed criteria labels exactly before entering anything. Preserve entered or selected values in a controlled record, not in a broadly distributed worksheet. Capture whether the source accepted the criteria and whether a manual submit action completed.

Do not redesign criteria, weaken a search, add guessed identifiers, or use facts from a neighboring system to force a response. One completed query with traceable criteria is more defensible than several undocumented variations. If criteria labels or accepted values cannot be tied to the same attempt, use unverified.

If a responsive item appears, preserve only what the source displayed: the result-row or link state, retrieval timestamp, document or viewer state, and evidence reference. Stop before interpreting report entries or drawing any facility, operator, engineering, production, transportation, storage, inventory, compliance, property, ownership, valuation, legal, tax, offer, or transaction conclusion.

Apply fail-closed outcome rules

Use located only when a completed, attributable manual attempt in profileId=29 displays responsive material. Located means that the recorded source attempt displayed something; it does not mean complete, correct, current, relevant, connected to a property, or legally sufficient.

Use not located only when every condition below is true:

1. the official Form T-1 profile loaded;
2. the displayed criteria labels were recorded;
3. the controlled criteria were accepted;
4. the manual submission completed;
5. the source displayed an empty result attributable to those criteria; and
6. no block, error, timeout, validation, session, CAPTCHA, viewer, or interpretation issue makes the attempt inconclusive.

Use unverified for every other state. The current HTTP 403 attempt is unverified. Do not repeat queries, change systems, use a filing route, purchase research, or use a neighboring profile merely to produce a different label.

Blank provenance template

Field	What to preserve
Attempt ID	Neutral internal identifier
Official route	Directory, Imaged Records, menu, and profile URLs
Profile identity	Displayed Form T-1 label and profileId=29
Attempted at	Date, clock time, and explicit timezone
Source scope	January 2013 forward, exactly as the menu described it, plus access date
Access method	One authorized manual attempt
Criteria schema	Exact source-displayed labels, if accessible
Controlled criteria ref	Restricted reference to exact entered or selected values
Submission state	Not attempted, submitted, validation failed, interrupted, or unknown
Access/result state	Exact displayed state, HTTP response, error, timeout, or empty-result wording
Document/viewer state	Responsive row, link, image, download, viewer state, or none displayed
Evidence reference	Restricted capture or response record with timestamp and integrity reference
Outcome	Located, not located, or unverified
Limitations	Missing steps, access blocks, ambiguity, and prohibited inferences
Recheck or handoff	Authorized next step, responsible party, and source to revisit

Keep the worksheet blank until an actual authorized attempt supplies a field. Never use example identifiers that could be mistaken for a real organization, facility, report, district, property, owner, reporting period, or result.

Handoff the record without expanding the claim

A later reviewer should be able to reproduce what happened without needing a substantive conclusion. Provide the official route, profile identity, timestamp, criteria reference, exact displayed state, evidence location, outcome rule used, limitations, and unresolved questions.

If the outcome is located, the reviewer still needs an independently authorized task before reading or interpreting a report. If it is not located, the label applies only to the recorded criteria and completed attempt. If it is unverified, preserve the stop point and do not convert uncertainty into absence.

The useful output is a narrow provenance record: one route, one profile, one controlled criteria set, one manual attempt, one evidence chain, and one bounded outcome. That record can support later research without turning retrieval mechanics into a substantive conclusion.

Frequently asked questions

Does a located Form T-1 report prove transportation, storage, or production facts for my mineral interest?

No. Located means only that one recorded manual attempt displayed responsive material in profileId 29. It does not establish report completeness, facility or operator identity, transportation, storage, inventory, production, property connection, ownership, title, lease, royalty, payment, value, or legal effect.

Can an HTTP 403 response be labeled not located?

No. HTTP 403 is an access state, not an empty search result. Record it as unverified. Not located requires a completed empty result attributable to accepted criteria in the recorded manual attempt.

Does January 2013-forward coverage prove that a report exists for every month?

No. It is the source-described coverage of the imaged-record profile. Preserve the statement and access date without inferring completeness, continuous monthly availability, or the existence of a particular report.

Can the current Form T-1 materials or EDI filing route replace this profile attempt?

No. Form materials and filing systems are separate official routes with different tasks. Record them separately; do not substitute a form, filing, EDI submission, or adjacent source for the manual profileId 29 attempt.

Can Form T-1 report retrieval be automated or repeated in bulk?

No. This worksheet authorizes one manual attempt only. It does not authorize scraping, automated or volume retrieval, repeated-query workflows, access-control bypass, CAPTCHA handling, or workarounds for errors, timeouts, validation, sessions, or unavailable viewers.
