       For Executing Forms 3, 4 and 5, Form 144 and Schedules 13D and 13G

      Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and
appoints each of Jeffrey J. McParland and Paul W. Chung, or either of them
signing singly, and with full power of substitution, the undersigned's true and
lawful attorney-in-fact to:

      (1)   execute for and on behalf of the undersigned (a) Forms 3, 4 and 5
            (including amendments thereto) in accordance with Section 16(a) of
            the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder, (b)
            Form 144 and (c) Schedules 13D and 13G (including amendments
            thereto) in accordance with Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the
            Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder, but only
            to the extent each such form or schedule relates to the
            undersigned's beneficial ownership of securities of Targa Resources
            Partners LP or any of its subsidiaries;

      (2)   do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
            that may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such
            Form 3, 4 or 5, Form 144 or Schedule 13D or 13G (including
            amendments thereto) and timely file such forms or schedules with the
            Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or
            quotation system, self-regulatory association or any other
            authority, and provide a copy as required by law or advisable to
            such persons as the attorney-in-fact deems appropriate; and

      (3)   take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
            foregoing that, in the opinion of each such attorney-in-fact, may be
            of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required of the
            undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by the
            attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power
            of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
            conditions as the attorney-in-fact may approve in the attorney-in-
            fact's discretion.

      The undersigned hereby grants to the attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform all and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that the attorney-in-fact, or the attorney-
in-facts substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted.  The
undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, and their
substitutes, in serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are
not assuming (nor is Targa Resources GP LLC or Targa Resources Partners LP
assuming) any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

      The undersigned agrees that the attorney-in-fact may rely entirely on
information furnished orally or in writing by or at the direction of the
undersigned to the attorney-in-fact.  The undersigned also agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless Targa Resources GP LLC, Targa Resources Partners LP and each
such attorney-in-fact against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in these respects) that arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statements or omissions of necessary facts in the information provided by or at
the direction of the undersigned, or upon the lack of timeliness in the delivery
of information by or at the direction of the undersigned, to such attorney-in
fact for purposes of executing, acknowledging, delivering or filing Forms 3, 4
or 5, Form 144 or Schedule 13D or 13G (including amendments thereto) and agrees
to reimburse Targa Resources GP LLC, Targa Resources Partners LP and such
attorney-in- fact on demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action.

      This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5, Form 144 and
Schedules 13D and 13G (including amendments thereto) with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by Targa
Resources Partners LP, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed
writing delivered to the foregoing attorneys in fact.  This Power of Attorney
does not revoke any other power of attorney that the undersigned has previously
granted.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of the date written below.
