RULE §3.591Margin: Apportionment

  (5) Gross receipts that a gas producer realizes from litigation awards for a breach of contract, reimbursements for litigation-related expenses (e.g., documented attorney's fees or court costs), or interest (upon which the parties have agreed, that the records of the producer reflects, or in an amount that a court has ordered) are sourced to the location of the payor.

  (6) Gross receipts that a gas producer realizes from a judgment, compromise, or settlement relating to the recovery of a contract price of gas produced are sourced to Texas to the extent the contract specified delivery to a location in Texas. Gross receipts that a gas producer realizes from a judgment, compromise, or settlement that relates to several claims or causes of action shall be prorated based upon the documented amounts due under the contract for each claim or cause of action according to the records of the producer. For example, a settlement sum of $100,000 for a pricing dispute of $25,000 and for failure to pay for gas not taken in the amount of $225,000, would result in receipts of $10,000 from gas sales (100,000 X 25,000/250,000) and receipts from other business of $90,000 (100,000 X 225,000/250,000). Records of the producer shall include, but are not limited to the following: contracts, settlement agreements, accounting records and entries, court pleadings and worksheets, including calculations reflecting settlement amounts.
