(9th) business day of each month for all gas delivered and gas service furnished
during the preceding month, including a monthly cash-out and imbalance statements,
according to the measurement, computations, and charges provided in this tariff.
For purposes of delivery of invoices via the Texas Gas Internet Website, render

15.2 Delivery Method: The default delivery method for the Texas Gas Customer invoice

request one of the following alternate delivery methods if they cannot use an on-
line invoice for payment purposes: (1) mail via the U.S. Post Office to the
address provided by the Customer; (2) mail via overnight delivery at the
Customer's expense; or (3) delivery via EDI to a designated site. If Customer
elects an alternate delivery method, it will remain in effect until changed by
Customer; provided, however, that Customer shall not change its delivery method
more often than once in any twelve month period.
15.3 Customer's information: When information necessary for Texas Gas' billing
purposes is in the control of Customer, Customer shall furnish or cause to be
furnished such information to Texas Gas on or before the fifth (5th) calendar day
of each month.
15.4 Right of examination: Both Texas Gas and Customer shall have the right to examine
at any reasonable time the books, records, and charts of the other to the extent
necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, chart, or computation made
under or pursuant to the provisions of this tariff.
15.5 Payment method and due date: Customer shall make payment to Texas Gas by
electronic funds transfer to a depository designated by Texas Gas, unless
Customer, whose total monthly invoices are less than $100,000, elects to make
payment by check. All payments are due ten (10) calendar days after the invoice
is rendered except when such day is a Saturday, Sunday, or bank holiday, in which
case payment is due the following business day. Payment shall be made for
invoices rendered pursuant to Section 15.1. Customer making payment should submit
supporting documentation; Texas Gas should apply payment per supporting
documentation provided by the paying party, and if payment differs from invoice
amount, remittance detail should be provided with the payment, except when payment
is made by electronic funds transfer (EFT), in which case the remittance detail is
due within two Business Days of the payment due date. If invoice is in dispute,
Customer shall pay portion not in dispute and provide documentation identifying
basis for the dispute.
15.6 Penalty for late payment: Should Customer fail to pay all or a portion of any
invoice when such amount is due, as herein provided, Customer shall pay Texas Gas
interest. Interest on the unpaid portion of the invoice shall be computed by
multiplying (a) the unpaid portion of the invoice by (b) the ratio of the number
of days from the due date to the date of actual payment to 365, by (c) the
interest rate calculated in accordance with Section 154.67(c) of the Commission's
Regulations. The interest charge provided for by this Section 15.6 shall be
