Overview
Texas Data Center Watch tracks five data center projects in Tarrant County, including the Circle T Data Center (Circle T Ranch DAL130 Campus) in Westlake at 13572 N. Main St. It is listed as Registered (TDLR); litigation pending.
Dallas News reports four buildings on about 88 acres. A PowerHouse presentation to Westlake P&Z (Aug. 4, 2026) cites 94 net developable acres and 300 MW / Oncor (company figure) (Westlake P&Z presentation; Dallas News).
On Aug. 4, 2026, Westlake Planning and Zoning recommended the data center. On Aug. 17 a judge issued a TRO forcing the Town Council to table a related vote; on Sept. 25 the TRO was dissolved and a hearing was set for Oct. 23, 2026 on whether plaintiffs have standing (Dallas News; CBS Texas). Plaintiffs (a Keller HOA, two individuals and the City of Keller) allege zoning and notice violations, including an omitted 150-ft setback/buffer (CBS Texas).
On Oct. 2, 2026, three DAL130 buildings were registered with TDLR (data center 224,152 sq ft / $83M; auxiliary water 5,000 sq ft / $45M; access control 1,500 sq ft / $15M; owner Circle T Owner LP, which TDLR lists without naming PowerHouse; start Dec. 1, 2026, completion June 1, 2027) (TDLR). Westlake says the land has been zoned commercial/industrial since 1998 (Dallas News).
Fort Worth: The City of Fort Worth's data centers page lists a Nov. 10, 2026 special called council work session at 4 p.m., where the Fort Worth Data Center & Infrastructure Commission's report is to be presented, and the first public hearing on a 90-day moratorium on data center development at the 6 p.m. council meeting (City of Fort Worth).

The Texas Tribune reported Oct. 20 that TCEQ says stormwater permits flagged by Public Citizen were suspended (Texas Tribune).
