Formed in 1946, the Texas Independent Producers & Royalty Owners Association (TIPRO) advocates to preserve the ability for independents to explore for and produce oil and natural gas. The association is one of the oldest and largest oil and natural gas advocacy non-profit organizations in the state of Texas. TIPRO's nearly 3,000 members include small family-owned businesses and the largest publicly traded independent producers, in addition to large and small mineral estates and trusts.
