Prior to the 1973 energy crisis, government had directed its attention to fuel source abundance, not shortage. The scope of allocations is delineated. A state must investigate its relationship to the Federal government if it is to form a meaningful response to the problem of scarce energy resources. After an introductory chapter, Chapter II reviews the Federal--state relationship; Chapter III presents an analysis of Federal energy programs; and Chapter IV reviews Texas laws affecting allocations. Oil and oil-products laws and gas and gas-utilities laws in the State of Texas are evaluated. It is concluded that new legislation designed to create a unified energy policy for the state, encompassing allocations, conservation, education, power plant siting, retail rationing power, and emergency powers, would be helpful. 141 references.
