Overview
Texas Data Center Watch tracks one data center project in Wharton County: Project Eagle in Boling, from Amazon Data Services. State building registrations (TDLR TABS) list seven data center buildings of 189,060 sq ft each, at an estimated $300M apiece:
- Building A, registered June 25, 2026: Aug. 1, 2026 start, Jan. 1, 2027 completion (TDLR A).
- Buildings E, F, G, H, J and K, registered Aug. 5, 2026: Sept. 1, 2026 start, Sept. 1, 2027 completion (E; F; G; H; J; K).
An auxiliary water building (4,067 sq ft, $2M) was registered Aug. 4, 2026 under the TDLR project name "Project Eagle Building M" (facility "Auxiliary Water Building," 248 Eaglewod Rd, Boling) (TDLR). It is not the same record as Horizon Junction Building M in Floydada (TABS2026027106), which happens to list the same size and cost (Horizon Junction Building M).
On Sept. 8, 2026, the Coastal Bend Groundwater Conservation District issued groundwater permits for restrooms, construction and fire protection, not cooling (Houston Chronicle via GovTech, which also describes a nearly 3,000-acre, $10B campus with 13 data center buildings) (GovTech).
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 Wharton County hearings or votes on data centers.
- Jan. 1, 2027: Scheduled completion of Project Eagle Building A, per its TDLR registration (TDLR).
- Sept. 1, 2027: Scheduled completion of Buildings E, F, G, H, J and K, per their TDLR registrations (TDLR E; TDLR K).
- 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 Wharton County has a pending TCEQ permit.
