State lawmakers in Texas are reassessing a tax break for data centers that was established thirteen years ago. At the time, the expected loss in tax revenue was relatively small. The original projection was a loss of no more than $14 million over a two-year budget cycle.

However, current state projections indicate a much larger loss. Further information on this issue is available from Houston Public Media, including details on the current projected loss of over $3 billion in the 2028-29 biennium.
