History
Texas Gas Service was formed in 2003 when ONEOK purchased the Texas assets of Southern Union Company. Southern Union was created in far-west Texas in the 1920s and had since acquired properties in El Paso, Austin, the Rio Grande Valley and other regions of Texas now part of the Texas Gas Service territory. Texas Gas Service has an 80 plus-year tradition of utility service to customers throughout Texas. ONEOK spun off Texas Gas Service and its two other distribution companies—Oklahoma Natural Gas Company and Kansas Gas Service—to form ONE Gas in February 2014.[2]
