On March 12, 2026, Conroe City Council denied Mustang Express Pipeline's request for survey access to the Southwest Wastewater Treatment Plant. City staff cited insufficient information and concerns over project details, referencing issues related to the earlier Blackfin compressor station.

Mustang's proposed 240-mile pipeline aims to transport natural gas to the Port Arthur LNG II facility and includes extensive infrastructure. Construction is projected to start in Q1 2028 and finish by Q3 2029, with expected tax revenues of $82 million during construction and $96 million annually once operational. A new pipeline ordinance mandates increased oversight on such projects.
