01 · Energy and utilities in Houston

The easement on screen while the landowner is still on the phone.

What goes wrong todayA landowner calls about a right-of-way. The easement was signed decades ago, and the only copy is a paper file nobody can find while the landowner is still on the phone.

Who handles it: Lands and right-of-way staff, Operations and engineering, Regulatory and integrity, AP clerks and buyers.

  • Lands and right-of-way

    Easements, right-of-way agreements, deeds, plats and crossing permits

  • Operations

    Work orders, meter orders, pole and line inspections, and as-builts

  • Regulatory and integrity

    Rate case filings, commission orders, pressure test and pipe material records

  • Accounts payable

    Field tickets, contractor invoices, purchase orders and utility bills for your own sites

Where Ademero fits

  • CapturePoint 6. Reads utility statements, invoices, past due notices and credit memos: account number, statement date, payment due and closing balance.
  • Content Central. Makes decades of easements searchable by tract, grantor or any word in the grant, keeps integrity records indefinitely, and routes field tickets for approval before export to Epicor, Sage X3, Sage 50, Workday or QuickBooks.

Rules this paperwork lives under

FERC records retention
18 CFR Part 125 for public utilities and Part 225 for natural gas companies set how long each kind of record is kept. Many state commissions adopt or add to them.
PHMSA pipeline safety
49 CFR Parts 192 and 195 expect pressure test and material records to be kept for the life of the pipe, and records behind maximum operating pressure to be traceable, verifiable and complete.

Houston, Texas

Houston’s paperwork comes from wells, hospitals and the ship channel.

The energy business keeps easements, right-of-way agreements and field tickets for decades. The hospitals and clinics of the Texas Medical Center and across the region run on claims, remittances and referrals. The Port of Houston and the freight around it run on bills of lading and delivery receipts. Texas adds its own privacy rules on top, including a medical records law that reaches further than HIPAA.

Win the appeal with the papers you already have.

A denial arrives by fax. The claim, the explanation of benefits and the referral that would win the appeal sit in three different places, and the appeal window keeps running while someone looks.

Where Ademero fits

  • CapturePoint 6. Reads claims, EOBs, remittances and referrals on a Windows PC in your office, so patient information is not sent to an outside service to be read.
  • Content Central. Keeps the patient and claim record in the cloud or on your own servers, with permissions by document type and field and an audit trail of every view.

Rules

HIPAA Security Rule
Asks for access controls and audit controls on electronic patient information. Content Central limits who sees each document type and logs logins, searches, views and deletes. Ademero signs Business Associate Agreements.
HIPAA documentation
Certain HIPAA documentation, such as signed authorizations and your privacy policies, is kept for six years. A retention schedule per document type keeps each one for as long as you set.

Texas rules

What Texas law asks of your documents.

The state rules that most often touch Houston paperwork in the industries above, in plain words. We describe what the software does; whether you comply is for you and your counsel, and laws change, so confirm the current text.

Texas Data Privacy and Security Act

Texas Business and Commerce Code, Chapter 541 (in effect since July 1, 2024)

Applies to
Businesses that do business in Texas or serve Texans and process personal data, unless they are small businesses as the U.S. Small Business Administration defines them. There is no revenue threshold.
What it asks
People can ask to see, correct, delete or get a copy of their personal data, and you answer within 45 days. Sensitive data needs consent, and some processing needs a data protection assessment.
What the software does
Full-text search finds every document that names a person, and permissions and retention schedules control who sees it and when it is deleted.

Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act

Texas Business and Commerce Code, Chapter 521

Applies to
Any business that collects or keeps sensitive personal information about Texans.
What it asks
Reasonable procedures to protect sensitive personal information, destruction of customer records you will not keep, and notice to affected people after a breach, plus the Attorney General when 250 or more Texans are affected.
What the software does
Permissions by document type and field, multi-factor sign-in, an audit trail, and retention schedules with a destruction schedule.

Texas Medical Records Privacy Act

Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 181

Applies to
A wider group than HIPAA: anyone who assembles, collects, analyzes, uses, stores or transmits protected health information, including many businesses HIPAA does not cover.
What it asks
Staff training on handling health information, and when a provider uses electronic health records, a patient’s written request for their electronic record answered within 15 business days.
What the software does
Patient documents filed by patient and account number come up in one search, so a records request is gathered in minutes rather than days.

03 · Logistics and freight in Houston

The delivery receipt in before the invoice goes out.

A load delivers on Tuesday, but the signed delivery receipt rides in a driver’s envelope until Friday. The freight invoice cannot go out until it arrives, and the customer’s payment clock has not started.

  • CapturePoint 6. Splits a stack of trip paperwork into documents, reads the PRO and bill of lading numbers, and names each file so the delivery receipt sits next to its bill of lading.
  • Paige. When paperwork arrives from terminals and drivers everywhere, Paige reads it in the cloud and delivers the data by download, SFTP or webhook to your TMS.

FMCSA driver qualification files, in short

Motor carriers keep each driver’s qualification file for as long as the driver is employed and three years after (49 CFR 391.51). Hours-of-service supporting documents are kept six months (49 CFR 395.8). A retention schedule per document type clears each on its own clock.

Freight LogisticsExample document types and fields
Document typeFields it reads
Bill of LadingBill of Lading Number, Carrier, PRO Number, Shipper, Consignee, Total Weight

What an engagement produces

  1. 01

    An assessment, in writing

    A map of your document streams: what arrives, from where, roughly how many, who touches each one and where its data has to land. Ranked by where AI pays off first, with the product that fits each and anything that touches Texas rules called out.

  2. 02

    A pilot on your documents

    We set CapturePoint 6 up from a folder of your own energy and utilities documents, or show Content Central with them filed the way you work. You see which fields it reads, what it sends to review and why, and where the files land.

  3. 03

    A scope and a quote

    What the rollout covers, which systems we connect, how your team is trained and how support works after go-live, priced for your project.

The first conversation is free. Prices come in the quote, for your scope.

Questions

What Houston teams ask us.

Does CapturePoint 6 need a ready-made job for field tickets?

No. CapturePoint 6 sets up a job from a folder of your own field tickets, and the pilot shows what it reads from yours.

Texas medical privacy law is broader than HIPAA. What changes for us?

The Texas Medical Records Privacy Act covers anyone who handles protected health information, not only HIPAA covered entities, and asks for staff training. Where a provider uses electronic health records, a patient’s written request for their record is answered within 15 business days. Records filed by patient and account number make that a search, not a hunt.

Our easements go back decades. Can they be searched?

Yes. Scanned typed documents become searchable in Content Central, so an easement comes up by tract number, grantor or any word in the grant, and the words are highlighted on the page.

Do you have anyone in Houston?

No. We work remotely from Lakeland, Florida, Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 8 PM Eastern, which is 7 AM to 7 PM in Houston. Meetings, pilots and training run online.
