Message from the Chair

Welcome to the website for the Public Utility Law Section (“PULS”) of the State Bar of Texas.  The purpose of the PULS is "to study and report on laws, decisions and governmental regulations affecting public utilities; to promote the fair and just administration of such laws and regulations; to study and report upon proposed legislation affecting public utilities; and to keep the members of the State Bar of Texas [so] advised. . . .”

The PULS Council is planning the 2025 PULS Annual Meeting and Conference, tentatively scheduled to be held in August 2024. The Conference will only be held in-person this year; however, the sessions will be recorded for later posting in our CLE Video Library. I hope you are able to join us for these live events.

Our Annual Meeting will be held just prior to the Conference on Friday morning, where we will elect new Council members and officers.

To increase our offerings to the Section this year, we plan to continue to provide CLE content throughout the year. Last year, we provided two one-hour webinars over the lunch hour in March and June 2024, as well as an in-person Lunch & Learn CLE at the State Bar Offices in May 2024. If you missed the webinars, the videos are available for viewing in our CLE Video Library. You may also read our recent newsletters under the Newsletters tab.

AJ Smullen, 2024–25, Chair
