as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TU. Thus, LTC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of TU.
3. Upon consideration of the application and in view of the foregoing, we conclude 
that consent to transfer control of LCT from Lufkin-Conroe to TU will serve the public interest, 
convenience and necessity.

TC IS GRANTED, and the transfer of control of LCT from Lufkin-Conroe to TU is authorized.
