So far Denton, TX fracking ban seems to be holding. It's causing a bit of a power struggle, though, as citizens' rights and land rights are coming up against the state's very oil-friendly regulators.
And...here's a look into the nature of the state's industry "watchdog" - the Texas Railroad Commission:

In a rebuttal to that evaluation, Wright described how one of his bosses had renewed a permit for a “land farm” over Wright’s objections. A land farm is the term used for a commercial operation where waste from oil and gas extraction is spread on top of the ground.
Wright said the permit should have been denied because samples of the contaminated waste that was to be spread on the land “exceeded the level that would classify the material as hazardous waste,” making it “ineligible for land farming.”
