Residents, city consider appeal.

On a night where Arlington officials appeared poised to approve more gas drilling near a day care center and homes, the city council denied the permit request by a razor-thin margin after a public hearing Tuesday.

The day care center at the heart of Tarrant County’s fracking debate and an environmental advocacy group are suing the city of Arlington, alleging officials jeopardized children’s safety and the center’s business.

TotalEnergies requested the Arlington City Council postpone a vote that was supposed to take place Tuesday. In January, the council will decide whether to approve or deny the company's drilling permits to expand operations at an existing site near State Highway 360.
