The governor-elect of Texas, Gina Hinojosa, has explicitly said that all currently permitted datacenters in Texas will be allowed to finish construction. This essentially covers all of the 2027 and likely well into 2028.
She is going to pass laws that ensure that all *newly* permitted datacenters going forward for delivery in 2028/2029 will pay taxes, commit to no increase in power prices for consumers, don’t impact water availability for people, be constructed with union labor and give “Texans a seat at the table.”
Sounds reasonable. She doesn’t want to lose a lot of good blue collar jobs and property taxes for small towns in rural Texas.
Datacenter commentary starts at 6:30 in this interview.
Also attaching her official campaign position from her website in the next post.
Sidenote: After watching a bunch of her speeches and interviews, I do think she is a political talent and probably has a future in national politics.

The election is over. The market called it hours ago.
Objectively, it's an undisputed Democrat "sweep" all the way across the board.
The Republicans have lost control of both the House and Senate.
Meanwhile, Texas' US Senate and Governor races are set to flip blue for the first time since 1988 and 1990, respectively.
The defining issue for voters? Affordability.
The ongoing energy crisis has further fueled the affordability crisis, renewed interest rate hikes, and accelerated the K-Shaped economy.
US oil prices have now traded above $100/barrel for 46 days in 2026.
Tonight marks a major shift in the American political landscape.
