Texas is the undisputed leader in U.S. natural gas production. The state accounts for roughly one-third of all domestic production, primarily from the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale. This massive local supply keeps wholesale prices low and gives Texas consumers some of the most competitive residential rates in the country.
In 2025, Texas produced over 10 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. A significant portion is used for power generation, industrial processes, and LNG exports. Residential consumption makes up a smaller share, but Texas still has millions of homes heated by natural gas, especially in the colder northern and panhandle regions.

Most of Texas is fully deregulated for natural gas. Residents can choose their supplier and often lock in fixed-rate plans for 12–24 months. This competition helps keep prices lower than in regulated states.
