If you’re wondering what the Texas Legislature did to help prevent dangerous and persistent fires in the petrochemical corridor near Houston this year, the answer – unfortunately – is not much.

This is despite the fact that frightening, and in one case deadly, evidence of a systemic problem in the Houston area flared up in March and April.
