Data Center Projects in Kent County, Texas
Last verified: October 27, 2026 · 1 tracked project · 2 tracked records
Overview
Texas Data Center Watch tracks one data center project in Kent County: Project Hyper – Spur Buildings 1–2 near Jayton (CR 233 and P2390). It is listed as Registered (TDLR).
On Oct. 1, 2026, two single-story data center buildings were registered with TDLR (759,262 sq ft and an estimated $2.4B each; owners Spur DC Owner 1 LLC and Spur DC Owner 2 LLC). Starts are listed as Jan. 31 and Jan. 13, 2027, with completions June 7 and May 25, 2029 (TDLR 1; TDLR 2).
The filings list the same owner contact and phone as the Project Hyper – Childress filings. DCD calls the Jayton site likely a satellite of Crusoe's Childress development (DCD).
For the Childress campus these buildings are linked to, capacity reports conflict: Crusoe cites 1.0 GW (company) (Crusoe), while DCD describes 1.4GW (news) (DCD). The Kent County TDLR filings don't list a capacity.
Note: "registered" means a state accessibility (TDLR) building registration, not an environmental permit.

What's next
These dates come from the tracker. Texas Data Center Watch has no recorded upcoming Kent County hearings or votes on data centers.
- Through June 2029: Scheduled completions for Spur Buildings 1–2, per their TDLR registrations (TDLR).
- 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 Kent County has a pending TCEQ permit.
