Oquendo & Company

Citation Guidelines

This page states the reference form, the addresses that do not move, and what is promised about an edition once it is sealed.

Reference Form

A record is cited to the authority that issued it, then to the edition that entered it. The issuing authority comes first because the authority, not Oquendo & Company, is the source of the fact; the edition follows because it fixes the date on which the record was verified and the form in which it was carried.

<authority>, <type> record, <date> — as recorded in Oquendo & Company, Texas Infrastructure Ledger, <designator> (sealed <date>).

Short forms are a matter for the citing document. Where one is wanted, the edition spine alone — O&C-2026-09 — is sufficient after a full reference has been given. Oquendo & Company is written in full at first mention; the short form is the publication, not the Company.

A Record

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, enforcement record, 2026-08-11 — as recorded in Oquendo & Company, Texas Infrastructure Ledger, Edition September 1, 2026.

This is the exact string the Copy Citation control places on the clipboard beside every entry in the record. Copying it is the recommended practice; typing it by hand is permitted and produces the same reference.

An Edition

Oquendo & Company, Texas Infrastructure Ledger, O&C-2026-09 (sealed September 1, 2026), oquendoandco.com/therecord?edition=2026-09.

Used when the edition itself is relied on.

The Texas Infrastructure Ledger

Oquendo & Company, Texas Infrastructure Ledger. San Antonio, Texas: Oquendo & Company. oquendoandco.com/therecord.

Used for the work as a whole, in a bibliography or a schedule of authorities, where no single edition is at issue.

No access date, retrieval date or last‑visited date belongs in any of the three forms. Each carries the date the edition bears and a permanent address that does not move, which is what an access date is a substitute for where a source has neither.

How to Cite

The reference form above is the record’s own. Citing parties work in other house styles, so the same reference is set out below in four of them. Each is composed from the same string the record emits beside every entry — the authority, the type and the date are taken from it, not retyped — so a form here cannot name a record the record does not carry.

The rule, in every style: a citation must carry the edition designator and the as-of date. The designator identifies one sealed edition and no other; the date states when what that edition says was verified. A reference that names Oquendo & Company without the designator points at a publication rather than at a document, and a designator without the date it bears leaves the reader to guess what the edition was read against. Neither is a citation to anything fixed. Where a house style has no slot for one of the two, it goes in a parenthetical.

The designator of the current edition is O&C-2026-09, sealed September 1, 2026.

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, enforcement record, 2026-08-11 (Docket 2026-0286-PWS-E), as compiled in Oquendo & Company, Texas Infrastructure Ledger, O&C-2026-09, as of September 1, 2026, https://oquendoandco.com/therecord?edition=2026-09.

Short form, after a full reference

Docket 2026-0286-PWS-E, as compiled in Oquendo & Company, O&C-2026-09 (September 1, 2026).

The compilation is this record’s; the underlying record is the agency’s and stays in the agency’s custody. Citing this form does not make Oquendo & Company a custodian of any authority’s record, and no record issued here is a certified or sworn copy of one.

No access date, retrieval date or last‑visited date is added in any style. The permanent address does not move and the edition does not change, which is what an access date substitutes for where a source has neither.

Permanent Addresses

Every sealed edition has one permanent address, formed from the month it bears:

oquendoandco.com/therecord?edition=<YYYY-MM>

The edition of September 1, 2026 is at /therecord?edition=2026-09; the edition of August 1, 2026 is at /therecord?edition=2026-08. An address with no edition behind it returns nothing at all — never an empty page presented as an issue.

A record is addressed within its edition. It is identified by the authority that issued it, the date it bears, and the subject it names, exactly as those appear on the edition page; a reader given the edition address and those three elements reaches one record and no other. Oquendo & Company assigns no separate accession number to a record, and a citation should not invent one.

The Methodology carries the edition standing; every sealed edition keeps its designator and its permanent address.

The Coverage Rule

An edition dated the first of a month carries records dated the prior month. The edition of September 1, 2026 carries records dated August 1 through August 31, 2026. The interval between the last record and the edition date is the verification: each record is read against the issuing authority’s own published register before the edition is sealed.

A record that surfaces after its edition has been sealed enters the current edition, and is disclosed there as bearing an earlier date. It does not enter the edition whose window it falls inside. A sealed edition is never reopened, never supplemented, and never re-dated.

The consequence is stated plainly so that no reader has to infer it: an edition is a complete account of what was verifiable when it was sealed, not a complete account of what happened in its window. Where an authority publishes no searchable register at all, the edition says so among its disclosed boundaries rather than presenting a partial list as a census.

Terms of Use

Definitions

“Oquendo & Company,” “the Company”
Oquendo & Company, a Texas limited liability company.
“You”
The person or entity using this Site, and, where a request has been placed, the person or entity placing the request.
“Site”
This public website and everything the Company makes available on it.

1Acceptance & Scope

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of this public website and all content, records, compilations, editions, and marks the Company makes available on it (collectively, the “Site”), provided by Oquendo & Company (the “Company”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms; if you do not agree, do not use the Site. You represent that you are at least 18 years old.

These Terms govern use of the public Site only. Any paid request is offered solely under a separate written agreement furnished at the time of the request. Nothing on the Site is an offer to contract and nothing here entitles you to, or forms a contract for, any request.

2Nature of the Site — Statements of Opinion

Oquendo & Company compiles the Texas Infrastructure Ledger — dated compilations of the filed public record — and applies to them deterministic criteria published in advance at /therecord. Each Extract the Company issues states only what was on file with a named authority as of a stated timestamp, cites the primary document, and carries its exclusions on its face. No Extract the Company issues states, estimates, or implies the physical capacity, headroom, thermal rating, or deliverability of any facility or system, and no Extract the Company issues states when service will be available. No Extract the Company issues is financial, investment, engineering, insurance, legal, or other professional advice, nor a recommendation to take or refrain from any action, and they are not a guarantee, warranty, or assurance of any outcome, condition, or future performance.

NO EXTRACT THE COMPANY ISSUES IS AN APPRAISAL OR STATES ANY OPINION OF VALUE, AND NO EXTRACT THE COMPANY ISSUES IS THE PRACTICE OF ENGINEERING. NO ENGINEERING JUDGMENT, DESIGN, SURVEY, OR CERTIFICATION IS OFFERED OR IMPLIED, AND NO EXTRACT THE COMPANY ISSUES EVALUATES, DESIGNS, OR CERTIFIES THE ADEQUACY, SAFETY, OR FITNESS OF ANY FACILITY, SYSTEM, OR WORKS.

The Company’s records are produced with the material assistance of an automated system, and findings are determined by the deterministic rules published at /therecord.

3No Reliance

Each record reflects information on file as of its stated date and may change without notice. Each is issued for general information only.

NO PERSON MAY RELY ON ANY EXTRACT OR OTHER MATERIAL PUBLISHED ON THE SITE AS THE BASIS FOR ANY DECISION, AND OQUENDO & COMPANY OWES NO DUTY OF CARE TO ANY READER OR OTHER PERSON.

This provision governs the public Site and its published records. A report issued under a paid request is a separate publication, issued to the party who requests it on the terms of the agreement for that request; its scope of reliance is stated in Standing & Reliance.

4Corrections

If the Company identifies an error in the public record it cited, the Company may publish a corrected edition speaking as of a new stated date. A correction is a re-publication, not a revision of what came before: each edition speaks only as of its own date. Nothing in this creates a duty to monitor, update, or supplement any edition the Company has already issued.

5License & Intellectual Property

The Site, including all text, records, methodologies, compilations, and marks, is owned by Oquendo & Company and protected by intellectual-property and trade-secret law. Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view the Site for your internal, non-commercial reference. You may not copy, redistribute, resell, publicly display, frame, scrape, data-mine, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from the Site, or use it to train any model, except as expressly authorized in writing.

6Acceptable Use

You agree not to (a) access the Site by automated means except a conforming search-engine crawler; (b) interfere with or probe the Site’s security or infrastructure; (c) misrepresent any record or strip it of its date, context, or disclaimers; or (d) use the Site in violation of any law.

7Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. OQUENDO & COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, OR RELIABILITY OF ANY EXTRACT OR OTHER MATERIAL PUBLISHED ON THE SITE. YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RISK FOR YOUR USE OF THE SITE.

8Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OQUENDO & COMPANY AND ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OQUENDO & COMPANY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

This Section governs the public Site. Liability for a paid request is governed by the agreement for that request. Nothing in this Section limits liability that cannot be limited under Texas law, including under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code ch. 17.

9Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 10, the exclusive venue for any dispute is the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction.

10Dispute Resolution — Arbitration & Class Waiver

ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE OR THESE TERMS WILL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION UNDER ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES — OR, WHERE THE CLAIMANT IS A NATURAL PERSON USING THE SITE FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY, OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES, ITS CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES — AND SEATED IN TEXAS. YOU AND OQUENDO & COMPANY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If the American Arbitration Association is unavailable, a court may appoint an administrator or arbitrator under 9 U.S.C. § 5. Either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property. You may opt out of this Section by written notice to the address below within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. If the class, collective, or representative-action waiver is held unenforceable as to any claim, this entire Section 10 is void as to that claim only, which then proceeds in the courts identified in Section 9; the remainder of this Section stays in force.

11Changes

The Company may modify these Terms by posting a revised version bearing a new version identifier and effective date. A revision applies only prospectively; your continued use of the Site after the stated effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised version. The Company retains each superseded version and will furnish it on request.

12General

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect and the unenforceable provision is reformed to the minimum extent necessary. These Terms are the entire agreement regarding the Site and supersede prior understandings. No waiver is implied by any failure to enforce. You may not assign these Terms; the Company may. The disclaimers and limitations survive termination.

Standing & Reliance

Definitions

“the Company,” “Oquendo & Company”
Oquendo & Company, a Texas limited liability company.
“You”
The person or entity placing the request, and, where no request has been placed, the reader of what the Company publishes.

1What the Company Publishes

Oquendo & Company is an independent compiler of the filed public record. What the Company issues is an opinion of record, carrying an as-of date — not a statement of fact, not advice, and not a guarantee of any outcome.

NOTHING THE COMPANY PUBLISHES OR DELIVERS IS AN APPRAISAL OR STATES ANY OPINION OF VALUE, AND NOTHING THE COMPANY PUBLISHES OR DELIVERS IS THE PRACTICE OF ENGINEERING. NO ENGINEERING JUDGMENT, DESIGN, SURVEY, OR CERTIFICATION IS OFFERED OR IMPLIED, AND NO EXTRACT THE COMPANY ISSUES IS A CERTIFIED OR SWORN COPY OF ANY AUTHORITY’S RECORD, AND NO EXTRACT THE COMPANY ISSUES EVALUATES, DESIGNS, OR CERTIFIES THE ADEQUACY, SAFETY, OR FITNESS OF ANY FACILITY, SYSTEM, OR WORKS.

NOTHING THE COMPANY PUBLISHES OR DELIVERS IS A TITLE OPINION, LEGAL ADVICE, OR A SECURITY OR INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATION, AND NOTHING THE COMPANY PUBLISHES OR DELIVERS IS AN OFFER TO BUY OR SELL, OR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY OR SELL, ANY PARCEL, INTEREST, OR SECURITY. THE FIRST CLAUSE OF THIS PARAGRAPH RESTATES §1.3 OF THE TERMS; THE SECOND SUPPLEMENTS IT. WHERE THIS NOTICE AND THE TERMS DIFFER, THE TERMS GOVERN.

2The published record — no reliance

The Register and the sealed editions are published for general reference. They are not addressed to any person and are not issued for reliance; each edition speaks only as of its date. You may cite an edition; you act on it at your own discretion.

3The Screen and the Monitor — scope of reliance

A Screen is a compilation of the filed public record on one parcel, issued to the party who requests it and to no other person, under the Screen Terms in force at the time it is requested. Its findings are limited to the dockets enumerated on its face as of the stated timestamp. “No record identified under this criterion” is not a finding that a parcel is developable, serviceable, or capable of receiving any quantity of electric power, water, or wastewater service; it is a finding that the enumerated dockets contained no record meeting that criterion. Where an Extract states the Publisher’s view, that view is the Publisher’s own reading of the filed record as of the timestamp stated on its face; it is not an engineering opinion, not a certification that the parcel is fit to close on, and not a rating or score. It is not legal advice, not a title opinion and not an appraisal, and it is not a substitute for the licensed professionals named in the scope. Physical feasibility is the subject of licensed professional engineering, which this firm does not provide and no Extract the Company issues supplies.

4Corrections

Where the record is corrected, the correction is published in the Company’s corrections register, which is permanent — entries are never removed or rewritten, under the correction policy, which also states where a request for correction, clarification or retraction is received. An edition you have cited may later be the subject of an entry there; the register states what the record said, what it now says, and the range of citation dates affected, so a citation can be checked at any time against the record as it now stands.

5Methodology & Agreements

The Company’s methodology is sealed. What the Company discloses is the public record it consulted, dated, and the finding it reached by applying the published rules to it. Everything the Company issues or delivers is governed by the applicable written agreement.

6Litigation and subpoenas

This section states the practice of Oquendo & Company where something it has published becomes evidence in a proceeding. It is a statement of the Company’s own practice; it is not legal advice, and the rules of evidence and procedure govern over anything said here.

1No engagement as a witness

Oquendo & Company does not accept engagement as an expert witness or consultant. No person here is offered, retained, designated, or held out as an expert in any proceeding, in any forum, for any party, and no Extract the Company issues is prepared in contemplation of testimony. Where a court of competent jurisdiction compels the attendance or testimony of a custodian of records, the Company complies with the order and testifies only as a fact witness to what the record is and how it is kept; it renders no opinion, and its compliance under compulsion is not an engagement, a designation, or a waiver of any objection.

2Authentication is by affidavit

Records of Oquendo & Company are authenticated solely by business-records affidavit under Texas Rules of Evidence 902(10) and 803(6). The affidavit states what the record is, how it is kept, and that it was made and kept in the regular course of the Company’s activity. Authentication by affidavit is available on the terms Rule 902(10) sets, including its filing and notice requirements; nothing here limits a court’s authority to require more.

2aRecords retention

Sealed editions, published entries, and the corrections register are retained permanently. Request records, delivered Extracts, and the citations underlying them are retained not less than seven years from delivery. Working files that are not part of a sealed edition are retained not less than two years. Retention is suspended as to any material within the scope of a litigation hold from receipt of the request until the hold is released; no material within a hold is deleted on schedule.

3Where a request is received, and where process is served

Preservation requests, correction requests, and courtesy copies of process are received by email at contact@oquendoandco.com and are treated as received on the business day they arrive. Formal service of a subpoena or citation is made on the registered agent of Oquendo & Company as shown in the records of the Texas Secretary of State, in the manner the rules require. The Company does not consent to service of process by email and does not waive any objection to service, venue, or the form of a request. Requests are handled by Gregory Oquendo, Publisher, who is designated custodian of records.

4The archive is append-only

No record is altered or expunged on request, on payment, on demand, or in settlement. The archive changes only in one direction: an entry found to be wrong receives a correcting entry appended beneath it, and the erroneous entry is preserved and marked withdrawn. The single exception is an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or a right of erasure the Company is required by statute to honor; where either applies, the Company complies, notes on the record that a removal was ordered, and states the ordering authority and date without restating the removed text. The correction policy states the form every entry takes, and the corrections register carries them all.

5Litigation holds and the cost of production

A litigation hold is placed on receipt of a request that reasonably identifies the parcel, edition, or order at issue and the proceeding, and is limited to material within that scope. No fee is charged for a first request or for preserving material already kept in the ordinary course. A hold is released on written notice from the requesting party, on final disposition of the identified proceeding, or eighteen months after receipt with thirty days’ written notice, whichever is first. Where a later or repeated request requires collection, review, redaction, or custodian time beyond preserving what is already kept, that work is quoted in writing as the reasonable cost of production a non-party may recover, and is paid or secured before the work is undertaken.

6What the record is, and is not

Each Extract the Company issues states what was filed, by whom, and as of when, cites the primary document, and carries the scope it did not examine. It renders no engineering judgment and states no view of what any parcel is worth. The standing of what is published, and who may rely on it, is stated in the sections above.

7The compilation is a trade secret

The selection, combination, and sequencing by which the Company compiles the filed record is a trade secret under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §134A.002(6). The primary documents cited in any Extract the Company issues are public and are produced freely. Anything sought beyond the Extract, its citations, and the custodian affidavit — including the manner of acquisition, the internal representation of a register, or the sequencing by which the published rules are applied to the compiled record — will be met with a motion for protective order under §134A.006 and Tex. R. Civ. P. 192.6. The firm reserves every privilege and protection available to it under law, including without limitation Subchapter B of Chapter 22 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code where applicable and Chapter 27 of that code, and no response to any request waives any of them.
