The following documents filed with the Commission by the Registrant are hereby incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference:
(a) The Registrant's prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (File No. 333-199020) relating to the
Registrant's registration statement on Form S-1, initially filed with the Commission on September 30, 2014 (as amended, and including exhibits, the "S-1 Registration Statement");
(b) The description of the Registrant's common units representing limited partner interests contained in the Registrant's

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Subject to any terms, conditions or restrictions set forth in a partnership's partnership agreement, Section 17-108 of the Delaware
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other persons from and against all claims and demands whatsoever.
Section 7.7(a) of the Registrant's First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement") provides that the Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless the following persons (each, an "Indemnitee"), in most circumstances, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or
proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal and including appeals:
•
the General Partner;
•
any departing general partner;
•
any person who is or was an affiliate of the General Partner or any departing general partner;
•
any person who is or was a manager, managing member, general partner, director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of any Group Member (as that term is defined in the Partnership Agreement), the General
Partner or any departing general partner or any affiliate of any Group Member, the General Partner or any departing general partner;
•
any person who is or was serving at the request of the General Partner or any departing general partner or any of their respective affiliates as a manager, managing member, general partner, director, officer, fiduciary
or trustee of another person owing a fiduciary duty to any Group Member; provided, however, that a person will not be an Indemnitee by reason of providing, on a fee-for-services basis, trustee, fiduciary or custodial services;
•
any person the General Partner designates as an Indemnitee for purposes of the Partnership Agreement because such person's status, service or relationship exposes such person to potential claims, demands, suits or
proceedings relating to the Partnership Group's (as that term is defined in the Partnership Agreement) business and affairs.
Any indemnification described above will be made only out of the Registrant's assets. The General Partner will not be personally liable
for such indemnification and will have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Registrant to enable the Registrant to effectuate such indemnification.
Section 7.7(b) of the Partnership Agreement provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including legal fees and
expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee who is indemnified in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding will, from time to time, be advanced by the Registrant prior to a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction determining that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified upon receipt by the Registrant of any undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified as authorized by Section 7.7 of the Partnership Agreement.
Section 7.7(d) of the Partnership
Agreement provides that the Registrant may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the General Partner or its affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of the General Partner, its affiliates and such other persons as the General Partner will
determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such person in connection with the Registrant's activities or such person's activities on behalf of the Registrant, regardless of whether
the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the Partnership Agreement.
Under the limited liability company agreement of the General Partner, in most circumstances, the
General Partner will provide indemnification similar to that in the Partnership Agreement for each of the following: (i) PennTex Midstream Partners, LLC and MRD WHR LA Midstream LLC, as the initial members of the General Partner, and any person
later admitted to the General Partner as a member; (ii) any person who is or was an affiliate of the General Partner (other than any Group Member); (iii) any person who is or was a member, partner, director, officer, fiduciary or trustee
of the General Partner or its affiliates (other than any Group Member); (iv) any person who is or was serving at the request of the General Partner or its affiliates as an officer, director, member, manager, partner, fiduciary or trustee of
another person; provided, however, that a person shall not be an Indemnitee by reason of providing, on a fee-for-services basis, trustee, fiduciary or custodial services; and (v) any person designated as an Indemnitee by the board of directors
of the General Partner.
The General Partner may purchase insurance covering the indemnitees against liabilities asserted and expenses
incurred in connection with their activities as officers and directors of the General Partner.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period
in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would
not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes
in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on
Form S-8,
and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13
or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions described under Item 6 above, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe
that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on June 9, 2015.
