Feedback to NCTCA Please send us your thoughts about gas drilling, pipelines,and property mineral rights.

The North Central Texas Communities Alliance (NCTCA) in no way supports the validity of any information initiated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), especially any air testing results.  However, it is critically important that we as citizens REPORT any and all violations to the agency and create a solid record that cannot be disputed in the future.

Please follow the link below to file complaints, AND please copy:  nctcalliance@yahoo.com, or nctcalliance@aol.com when you DO FILE so that we may maintain records. "Thank you!" TCEQ - Texas Commission on Environmental Quality

NCTCA's stated mission focuses on:

Education -  Communication - Mobilization

NCTCA - North Central Texas Communities Alliance is a broad-based coalition of individuals, organizations, and communities throughout the  Barnett Shale area working on local, state, and national levels for positive solutions to the problems related to natural gas drilling and pipelines.

To facilitate our goals, we strive to Communicate, Educate and then to Mobilize citizens to action in North Texas and their own unique communities.

It is our belief that a MORATORIUM ON ALL NEW PERMITS (for gas wells, pipelines, compressors ) is required in order to have time to sort through the maze of complex issues regarding our health, safety,environment and quality of life.

NCTCA is about empowering you and our communities!

WE WILL NOT BE CHARGING A DIME TO ATTEND AND PARTICIPATE IN THIS MEETINGThat's right, no membership requirement and no $10.00 at the door for admission.  The North Central Texas Communities Alliance exists because of the gratuitous nature of the people who have supported us through generous VOLUNTARY donations and through their VOLUNTARY memberships, and as Co-founder of NCTCA you have my never ending support because of it.  Thank you so very much for your support and if you continue to do so it will be because you want to help.

Mr. Gary Hogan is the meeting coordinator/moderator for this gathering of souls, and he has promised that we will hear from as many people throughout the Barnett Shale about how this "industry" has impacted their lives and how they are trying to deal with it.  In other words THIS MEETING IS ABOUT YOU AND HOW THIS ORGANIZATION CAN CONTINUE TO SERVE THE BARNETT SHALE COMMUNITIES!  We have had some successes and some failures, but we are most interested in moving forward in a positive and productive manner.  That direction will come from you.

I hope you will consider (or reconsider) attending our gathering in spite of the "shortcomings" that have been demonstrated over the past few days.  If you want to party a little, come by at 5:30 and visit with Representative Lon Burnam at his individual Meet and Greet on the ground floor of the hotel, after which you can settle in for coffee and a little story telling.  NCTCA was organized for YOU, and only you will decide where we are to go from here.

North Central Texas Communities Alliance Formed less than a year ago in response to Chesapeake’s assault on the homeowners of Fort Worth’s Carter Avenue, the NCTCA has become the leading voice in educating the public to the dangers of urban gas drilling across the Barnett Shale. Founded by Esther McElfish and Louis McBee, the NCTCA has been able to form a cohesive political unit out of the disparate community and neighborhood groups in the area, making them a force to be reckoned with.
