From the beginning, my mission has been simple: create opportunity for our families and make East Texas strong. With deep roots in East Texas, Schmitz and his team know the value of investing in the very communities where they live and work. If they grow, these projects can revitalize East Texas just as oil and gas lifted other regions of the state. Why shouldn’t Shelby County finally get our fair share of the Haynesville Shale? Let’s grab this opportunity with both hands and build a stronger East Texas together.
