Following a tip from a city code inspector, the Houston Police Department recently executed a search warrant at a Houston-based company called GXOil.

“There is probable cause to believe that hazardous wastes and/or industrial wastes and/or pollutants are being discharged into the environment and into or adjacent to a stormwater drainage system,” wrote Houston Police Department, Sgt. Patrick Morrissey.

GXOIL repackages bulk oils, lubricants, and other liquids for automotive applications. It appears that most of the company’s sales are wholesale transactions to local mechanics. HPD believes the unpermitted activity is taking place at the location, according to the search warrant. GXOil holds no current permits of any variety. However, the business owner says they did have a permit from the state, only it expired.
