Texas Alliance of Energy Producers Names Jason Modglin as New President

AUSTIN, Texas, June 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Boosting its advocacy powers during these historic times, the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers (the Alliance) has hired Jason Modglin as its new President. He brings a wealth of regulatory and legislative experience to the position. For the past decade, Modglin has been at the forefront of the most pressing oil and natural gas policy issues facing Texas and the nation.

"The Alliance membership forms the backbone of the Texas oil and gas industry, bringing a dynamism and entrepreneurial spirit that fuels not just our engines but also our quality of life and economy," said Modglin. "I am honored to support their resiliency by joining the Alliance during this critical time and expanding our proven legislative and regulatory track record, thanks to our staff, board, and past leadership."

Modglin comes to the Alliance from the Texas Railroad Commission, where he served as director of public affairs for Commissioner Christi Craddick. Previously, he was chief of staff for House Energy Resources Chairman Drew Darby and a policy analyst for Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples.

Modglin's hiring follows the election of Cye Wagner as the new chair of the Alliance board of directors.

Along with Petroleum Economist and Executive Vice President Karr Ingham, the Alliance's leadership has experience in all facets of the industry.

"Jason Modglin is an outstanding choice to lead the Alliance, and that's why our board selected him unanimously as we strive to help our members through this difficult period and beyond," said Wagner. "His knowledge of legislative and regulatory policy will be invaluable as we continue to make Texas the greatest environment for oil and gas production in the world."
