Nov. 9, 2026, 9 a.m.: Commissioners Court hearing on Reinvestment Zone #6 and Soluna abatement applications, Silverton (Briscoe County notice). Soluna says closing its 50 MW Dorothy 3 joint venture with Applied Digital requires a Briscoe County tax abatement (Company release).
Statewide permit pause: Under the Governor's Sept. 21 order halting permits sought by data centers (Governor's office), TCEQ sent its Oct. 19 compliance letter: it says permits for infrastructure directly supporting data centers are paused, pending applications are being screened, and claimed authorizations are suspended where possible (TCEQ letter). The Texas Tribune reported Oct. 20 that TCEQ says stormwater permits flagged by Public Citizen were suspended (Texas Tribune). On Oct. 21 TCEQ posted that its STEERS e-filing system for automatic authorizations is temporarily shut down so staff can check whether applications relate to data centers (TCEQ STEERS notice); the Texas Tribune reports a spokesman said applications must be physically provided (Texas Tribune, Oct. 21). The tracker doesn't show whether any project in Briscoe County has a pending TCEQ permit.
