Retirement Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees of the MTC of PXD
Sponsored by Pantexas Deterrence, LLC, Amarillo, TX
Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
In the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, Retirement Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees of the MTC of PXD covered 2,253 participants and held $223M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Pantexas Deterrence, LLC of Amarillo, Texas.
Net assets came to $98,821 per participant, above the $87,935 median for defined benefit plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and above the $84,727 median for defined benefit plans in administrative and support and waste management services. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Employer contributions were $8.7M for the year ($17,938 per active participant) and benefits paid were $15.0M. In a defined benefit plan the employer's contribution follows funding rules rather than a match formula, so it can swing widely from year to year.
Schedule C lists 6 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $509K: $226 per participant, well below the same-size median of $325. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $2.2M. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $167M in 2014 to $223M in 2024 (up 34%), and participants from 3,726 to 2,253 (down 40%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

What does Pantexas Deterrence, LLC contribute per participant?
The filing reports $8,700,000 in employer contributions for the year, which is $17,938 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $10,593 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $509,379 in compensation to service provider organisations, $226 per participant or 0.23% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $325 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $2,218,734. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is Pantexas Deterrence, LLC. Recordkeeping or administration: Pantexas Deterrence, LLC. Investment advisory or management: Legal & General Investment MGMT Inc.. Trustee or custodian: Northern Trust Company. The financial statements were audited by Pugh & Company P.C. DBA Pugh CPAS. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 15 Oct 2025. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
