In April 2014 a Dallas court jury found US shale fracking company Aruba Petroleum Inc guilty of "intentionally creating a private nuisance "though its drilling, fracking and production activities at 21 gas wells near the home of Bob and Lisa Parrs over a three-year period between 2008-2011.

The couple, who live in Wise County, had sued Aruba over its activities, which they claimed had impacted their health and ruined their drinking water. The jury awarded them $3 million in damages.

The plaintiffs attorneys' claimed the case is “the first fracking verdict in U.S. history".

The case was Parr v. Aruba Petroleum, Inc., No. 11-1650 (Dallas Co. Ct. at Law, filed Mar. 2011)
