Todd Staples
President, Texas Oil and Gas Association

“Today’s oil and gas companies are innovation and technology creators. People are living longer, healthier and more prosperously because of the pioneering breakthroughs resulting in affordable, reliable and dependable energy sources for every American. Texas oil and natural gas companies are leading the way to solve challenges and provide sustainable energy to fuel our lives.”
– Todd Staples
Todd Staples was named President of the Texas Oil and Gas Association in November of 2014. Founded in 1919, TXOGA is the oldest and largest oil and gas trade association in Texas representing every facet of the industry. Staples leads a dynamic team whose mission is to support TXOGA’s vast and diverse membership, which represents over 90% of Texas’ crude oil and natural gas production, operates nearly 90% of the state’s refining capacity, and is responsible for a vast majority of the state’s pipeline network that reliably delivers resources to consumers throughout Texas, across our nation and around the world.
Working with the TXOGA Board, Staples developed and implemented a multi-faceted approach to educate voters and elected officials on the industry’s contributions to ensure energy policy decisions are based on economic and scientific facts. Staples has worked to develop coalitions and implement strategies that have enabled the industry to continue to benefit both our economy and our environment.
Prior to TXOGA, Staples served as the Texas Agriculture Commissioner, winning two statewide elections. He also served with distinction in the Texas Senate and Texas House of Representatives.
After graduating with honors from Texas A&M University, Staples began his career on the Palestine City Council where he was a successful small businessman and rancher. A proud family man, Todd and his wife Janet split time between Austin and Palestine.
