Map sources and method
The state outline is adapted from the U.S. Census Bureau 2025 cartographic boundary file. Facility coordinates are adapted from Compute Atlas by Edward Kubiak, edition 1.33.0, under CC BY 4.0. Outline and markers use one geographic projection before any explicitly disclosed readability offset. Exact singleton source anchors are never moved. A one-kilometre boundary tolerance prevents the simplified 1:20,000,000 outline from hiding legitimate border-area source points; farther conflicts are disclosed, not clamped. DataCenterData groups source-reported city coordinates only within a bounded map radius; the outline does not validate a facility record.

Where the records were checked
Statewide audit pending
A few checked sites
This is not a list of every data center in the state, and the number here is not a count of them. There are almost certainly more.
Statewide coverage is not complete. The records below are sourced; a full statewide count has not been published.
State research audit window ended 12 September 2026. Individual records and claims below show their own evidence dates and may be newer.
Next scheduled review: 26 September 2026.
3 independently source-linked project/campus records; 1 independently source-linked facility/building record; 0 attributed or unresolved rows. These counts use different units and must not be added together.
Source families checked, selected records and remaining gaps
These notes name selected records, say which kinds of public evidence were checked and show what remains missing. They do not add anything to the published counts.
- economic development incentives — Checked
- The JETI current-agreements page was never opened, so the exclusion of data centers from that programme is unconfirmed.
- Texas Economic Development Corporation and Texas Enterprise Fund award records were not searched.
- No Comptroller record ties any registration number to a street address, city or county, so most registrations could not be located.
Selected records
- Data Centers in Texas — Registered Qualifying Data Center Projects and Registered Qualifying Large Data Center Projects · Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
- Jobs, Energy, Technology and Innovation Act (JETI) — Current Agreements · Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
- utility commission large load — Partly checked
- Every puc.texas.gov host could not establish a secure connection in the current review, so no PUCT docket, order, tariff or electric service agreement was read. This is the largest access gap in the Texas review.
- ERCOT's own large load interconnection service pages and generation interconnection queue files were not yet reviewed directly.
- No utility_request_mw statement is recorded for any Texas research lead, because no readable source attributed queue or interconnection MW to a named site.
Selected records
- Large Load Interconnection Status Update — Large Load Integration Team, March 13, 2026 · Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT)
- PUCT Interchange filing in Docket No. 58872 (Freestone Power Generation net metering application) · Public Utility Commission of Texas
- Public Utility Commission of Texas filings site · Public Utility Commission of Texas
- environmental construction permits — Checked
- TCEQ standard permit registrations for electric generating units (for example the Crusoe Abilene registration reported in press as 177263) were not retrieved, so no permitted generation nameplate MW is recorded for any Texas research lead.
- TCEQ water rights, wastewater and stormwater construction general permit notices were not searched.
- A pending air permit application naming a Dove Creek/Westline TX Holdings data center campus in Tom Green County appeared in search results but its permit number and notice were not located.
- Title V operating permits and issued (rather than pending) NSR permits were not searched.
Selected records
- Pending Applications: New Source Review Permits · Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
- Plain Language Summary — Air NSR permit 182126, GHGPSDTX263 and PSDTX1688 (Longhorn Data Center) · Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
- Plain Language Summary — Air NSR permit 182880 (Goodnight Data Center) · Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
- municipal planning assessor gis — Partly checked
- Only Milam County's agendas were swept. Taylor, Ellis, Bexar, Collin, Tarrant, Dallas, Bell, Hill, Navarro, Mitchell, Dickens, Wilbarger, Armstrong, Reeves, Pecos, Hays, Milam and El Paso county and city portals were otherwise untouched.
- No county appraisal district parcel record was opened, so no Texas research lead carries a parcel identifier.
- sanmarcostx.gov did not respond, so the Francis Harris Lane council minutes and zoning case number were never read.
- No GIS layer or zoning case database was queried for any Texas jurisdiction.
Selected records
- Commissioners Court of Milam County, Texas — agenda, Monday, February 24, 2025 · Milam County, Texas
- Commissioners Court of Milam County, Texas — agenda, Monday, June 9, 2025 · Milam County, Texas
- Commissioners Court of Milam County, Texas — agenda, Monday, April 27, 2026 · Milam County, Texas
- tax abatement development agreements — Checked
- The registry's per-record City and County contact fields are the appraisal district office address, not the site; county here rests on the reporting appraisal district or on a lead taxing unit that is itself a county.
- Chapter 380 and 381 city and county development agreements, PILOT agreements and school district agreements were not searched; the Milam County Riot Rockdale PILOT reported in press was never obtained as a document.
- The registry lists no parcel account for any of the data center rows examined ('Property Account: Unknown').
- Industrial district agreements, common in Texas extraterritorial jurisdictions, were not searched.
Selected records
- Chapter 312 abatement detail (open data file) · Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
- operator disclosures — Partly checked
- Microsoft, Meta, Amazon Web Services, Oracle and Apple location pages were not yet reviewed directly.
- No colocation operator site pages (Aligned, CyrusOne, Vantage, STACK, Compass, DataBank, QTS, Equinix, Digital Realty, Stream, Flexential, TierPoint, Prime, Skybox) were opened.
- Only one SEC filing was retrieved; Core Scientific, Galaxy, Riot, Hut 8, IREN, Soluna, Fermi and Applied Digital filings naming Texas sites were not.
Selected records
- Cipher Mining Inc. Form 8-K, date of earliest event reported November 20, 2025 · U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (EDGAR)
- open datasets directories — Checked
- Data Center Map, Baxtel, datacenters.com, Cloudscene and PeeringDB were not consulted.
- About 90 Compute Atlas Texas records, mostly Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston and San Antonio colocation halls and crypto-mining sites, were read in summary but not worked up into research leads.
Selected records
- Compute Atlas — Texas extract (137 records) · Compute Atlas
- historical closures withdrawals names — Partly checked
- The San Marcos denial rests entirely on an unopened search result; no council minute, ordinance or case number was obtained.
- The Hill County commissioners court moratorium order and its rescission order were not obtained; only a news account was read.
- No archived or superseded operator page, no acquisition filing and no demolition record was searched for Texas.
- Compute Atlas carries no cancelled Texas record, so the dataset contributed nothing to this family.
Selected records
- Chapter 312 Abatement Report 000004667 — CYRUSONE Reinvestment Zone (expired) · Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
- Chapter 312 Abatement Report 000004511 — City of Fort Worth Reinvestment Zone #67 (expired) · Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
- news and other discovery — Partly checked
- No systematic Texas news sweep was run; only two stories were followed.
- The Spectrum News San Marcos story was never opened, so its vote count and acreage remain uncorroborated.
Selected records
- Texas county rescinds data center moratorium after lawsuit · The Texas Tribune
- San Marcos City Council rejects data center land plan · Spectrum News 1 Texas
