OpenStream is not yet registered as a broker with the PUCT and earns nothing from any retailer.
Texas requires anyone paid to help a customer choose a retailer to register with the Public Utility Commission as a broker. 16 Tex. Admin. Code §25.112, Registration of Brokers says: “A person must not provide brokerage services, including brokerage services offered online, in this state for compensation or other consideration unless the person is registered with the commission as a broker.” Unless updated, a broker registration expires three years after the date of the assignment of a broker registration number or the registration's most recent update.
OpenStream has not filed that registration yet, and takes no compensation or other consideration from any retailer, so the pages here are information and not brokerage. When a registration is filed and assigned, this page will say so and carry the number.
Every “Go to {retailer}” link goes through our hand-off page, which shows the plan, its listed average at 1,000 kWh and the day it was confirmed, then sends you to the enrolment address the PUCT's listing gives for that offer. You enrol with the retailer directly. The link carries no affiliate reference and pays nothing. Paying would never change the order: every plan is ranked on its listed average price in its delivery zone, whoever pays.
