Carlton most recently served as Vice President of Membership & Corporate Secretary at TXOGA for more than seven years. As President of the Agency, he will oversee the TXOGA Workers’ Compensation Safety Group.

“The oil and natural gas industry makes safety in the workplace a high priority,” said Todd Staples, Chairman of the Board of the Agency and President of TXOGA. “Neal’s character and integrity make him a great fit to lead the Agency forward in working with our member companies who participate in the Safety Group, and his leadership will be a real asset.”

“I am pleased to continue working to ensure TXOGA members and others in our industry have the insurance tools to protect their companies and employees,” said Carlton, President of TXOGA Insurance Agency.
