There are no laterals that produce from both states.  Keep in mind that these horizontal wells are drilled on a north/south axis.  Unit set back requirements keep laterals from being too close to the state line.

Thanks. The reason I asked is that a company with permits to drill in LA mentioned that could not drill with lateral drilling going on in Texas. Could be a contractor issue with fracking crews and timing. Maybe pipeline constraints. Just wasn't sure.

You're welcome.  It is a legal/regulatory reason.  Nothing to do with drilling or completing a well.  When Comstock started developing the HA units along the state line in the area of Greenwood, they commissioned a new natural gas pipeline from Louisiana into Texas connecting with an existing main north south pipeline running down to the coast.
