Native Texan Chris Hosek is one of the most established, trustworthy, and hard-working Energy Consultants in Texas. Based in Austin, he is considered an expert in energy policy and rules as well as legislative initiatives at both the state and federal levels. Prior to founding Texas Star Alliance Energy Solutions, he was Chief of Staff for the Chair of the Texas Railroad Commission.
He represents a large cross section of the energy industry. His clients include international companies, domestic producers (in the Permian Basin, Haynesville, and Eagleford), and service companies such as Select Energy Services, to name a few. His work with these companies is two-fold:
Legislative work during each biennial Legislative session and the interim.
Regulatory work and engagement at the executive levels of the Railroad Commission, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, General Land Commission, and other state agencies.
Building off of his experience in the energy space, Chris has expanded his practice to include a variety of different policy issues, including state procurement. Given that oil and gas production touches almost very legislative district in Texas in one way or another, he has developed key legislative relationships across the state that he draws upon for other policy issues. With this in mind, Chris has successfully passed unique and specific legislation for clients in challenging environments. Don't believe us, just ask him about legalizing catfish noodling.
