December J, 1987
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As you may be aware Entex, Inc. and Arkla have agreed to
merge, with Arkla being the surviving corporation. Because
of this merger Entex is requesting that the City of La Porte
approve the assignment of the Entex Franchise to Arkla.
We feel that this is a good move and will in no way affect
the good quality service we provide to the citizens of
La Porte and the surrounding areas.
A few important facts that you may want to know are as
follows:
1. Entex will continue to operate as Entex.
2. Entex headquarters will remain in Houston.
J. Entex will be a sep~rate division. of Arkla.
4. Entex will continue to operate with full
employment-there is no overlapping of service
areas.
5. The merger with Arkla will improve the financial
position of Entex.
6. Less capital restraint.
If you have any questions regarding this please call me.
Sincerely,
'In~~~~
Mike Stewart
Manager
