Commissioners cited the lack of net benefit to the town, electricity use, environmental impacts and noise, and noted data centers are not a defined use in the future land use plan. The commission also unanimously denied related amendments. The project, White Rose Partners Project Tomahawk, a US$580 million data center on 37.3 acres at Parvin Road and FM 1385, was scheduled for the Town Council on Tuesday 8 September 2026, but the developer withdrew both items hours before the meeting and the town closed the application; a revised plan would need a new application and a new Planning and Zoning hearing. |

Blueprint Data Centers Taylor facility litigation Suit 2025; dismissed 8 October 2025; Attorney General investigation announced 17 September 2026 |
Blueprint Data Centers | Williamson County District Court / City of Taylor | Five Taylor residents sued to stop a 135,000 sq ft Blueprint data center, arguing a 1999 deed restriction required the land to be held as parkland. The judge had paused work during the case, but on 8 October 2025 District Judge Ryan Larson dismissed the suit for lack of standing. The residents' group said it was filing an appeal. On 17 September 2026 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced an investigation into whether the 1999 deed restriction holding the land in trust for future use as parkland was modified, released or terminated before the Taylor Economic Development Corporation sold the site to NCP Travis TPP Project, LLC for $10 million in April 2025, and said he may seek court intervention. The city said it would cooperate fully. |

Circle T Data Center (Westlake) litigation TRO issued 17 August 2026, extended twice, dissolved 25 September 2026; lawsuit hearing set for 23 October 2026 |
PowerHouse Data Centers | Town of Westlake / 342nd District Court, Tarrant County | On 17 August 2026 Judge Kimberly Fitzpatrick of the 342nd District Court issued a temporary restraining order, sought by The Lakes at Marshall Ridge Homeowners Association in Keller and two residents, blocking the Westlake Town Council from approving the Circle T Data Center development agreement. At a 26 August hearing the restraint was extended through 8 September 2026. Plaintiffs allege the site plan lacked required setbacks and that building height was raised from 45 to 80 feet without proper notice. Separately, the Keller City Council approved a motion to begin a 90-day moratorium process within its own limits. On 26 August 2026 Judge Kimberly Fitzpatrick of the 342nd District Court extended the temporary restraining order barring a Westlake vote on the data center development plans until a 10 a.m. hearing on 8 September 2026. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram describes the project as a 1.1 million-square-foot complex on 87.9 acres at 13580 Denton Highway, 506 feet from homes in Keller's Lakes at Marshall Ridge neighborhood, and reports the Keller City Council passed a resolution opposing the project and authorizing legal action. On 15 September 2026 the Westlake Town Council voted unanimously not to renew its police services agreement with Keller, which expires in 2028, amid the dispute. The Dallas Morning News describes Circle T as eight buildings on 88 acres. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported on 16 September 2026 that the judge has extended the temporary restraining order against a Westlake vote twice to allow more time to study evidence, and that the latest hearing is scheduled for 25 September 2026. On Friday 25 September 2026 Judge Kimberly Fitzpatrick dissolved the temporary restraining order that had kept Westlake from voting to approve the data center, after criticizing both sides for filing about 1,000 pages of documents the night before, and set a 23 October 2026 hearing on the Lakes at Marshall Ridge Homeowners Association lawsuit, in which the city of Keller is an intervener. Westlake said it was pleased and would continue to follow Governor Abbott's directives on data center development; Keller's mayor and an intervening resident said the suit continues. The Dallas Morning News reported on 28 September 2026 that the parties met for mediation before the 25 September hearing without reaching a settlement, and a status report said the plaintiffs' claims reached an impasse while Keller, Westlake and Circle T continue a settlement dialogue. At the 23 October 2026 hearing the judge is to decide whether the plaintiffs have standing to continue the suit. Westlake says the site has been zoned commercial and industrial since 1998, making the data center allowable by right. |

Bilateral Energy LLC | City of Granbury | Granbury annexed the roughly 2,000-acre Knox Ranch from Hood County and rezoned it for Bilateral Energy's power generation and data center plan known as Project Patriot. Four Hood County property owners sued, alleging a Texas Open Meetings Act violation through a walking quorum during a data center tour, and the suit remained unresolved as of July 2026. On 8 July 2026 residents presented a no-confidence petition with more than 800 signatures against the city manager and city attorney. On 17 August 2026 Granbury residents petitioned the Second Court of Appeals in Fort Worth for a writ of mandamus ordering the city to validate five recall petitions against the mayor, mayor pro tem and three council members, citing Project Patriot approvals. The city had verified only 26 of more than 5,000 signatures. The court set an expedited schedule that could put recalls on the November 2026 ballot. On Tuesday 6 October 2026 Mayor Jim Jarratt, Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Wadley and Councilman Skip Overdier, all subject to the recall, filed a lawsuit against the city through Houston attorney Andy Taylor alleging fraud, forgery and other defects in the recall petition; the suit put scheduling of the recall election on hold. |

Response rates were 32% of 22 surveyed data centers in 2023, 28% of 67 in 2024 and about 30% of 329 in 2025. Abbott asked the board for a compliance and enforcement update by 14 October 2026. |

Texas statewide halt on TCEQ permits for data centers pending ERCOT and TWDB audits paused Directive issued 21 September 2026; TCEQ compliance update due 19 October 2026; runs until the ERCOT and TWDB audits are complete |
n.a. | State of Texas (Office of the Governor; Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) | On 21 September 2026 Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to halt all permits sought by data centers until ERCOT completes its audit, in a letter to TCEQ Executive Director Kelly Keel. The governor's release says that because the PUCT, ERCOT and the Texas Water Development Board need the audit information to make informed decisions, no state agency shall move forward with regulatory approvals related to data center development until it is acquired. TCEQ must report on its compliance by Monday 19 October 2026. The directive follows the 3 August 2026 order for the PUCT and ERCOT to audit all data centers in ERCOT's interconnection process and the 14 September 2026 water-use reporting directive to the TWDB. Houston Public Media reported that the August pause reached only ERCOT connections of at least 75 MW, while TCEQ permits for river water use or on-site power plants now also stop, and that ERCOT and the TWDB are surveying more than 400 data centers for the audit. The governor also said he will work with the Legislature next session to eliminate financial incentives for data centers. The San Antonio Current reported on 29 September 2026 that Samuel Short, director of TCEQ's Air Permits Division, wrote in an email to Bastrop County residents that, at the direction of Governor Abbott, TCEQ has paused the issuance of all air and water permits and authorizations related to the construction or development of infrastructure directly supporting data centers while ERCOT completes its audit, that the Pacifico Energy campus near Cedar Creek (row 823) is on hold, and that TCEQ will give the Governor's Office a full compliance update by 19 October 2026. Public Citizen's Texas office told the outlet that TCEQ has previously said it lacks authority to halt all permits for an entire industry. At a stop in Hemphill reported on 29 September 2026, Abbott said new data centers must provide their own power and that local communities should have authority to decide whether to allow them; KTRE reported that state permits for two proposed Angelina County projects, AmpZ and Hyper Data Grid, remain on hold. |

Vantage Westover Hills data center campuses (Rogers Road and Omicron Drive) and VoltaGrid on-site gas plants litigation Suit and preliminary injunction motion filed 21 September 2026; defendants' opposed motions for extension of time filed 29 September 2026; notice of intent sent July 2026 |
Vantage Data Centers; VoltaGrid (power supplier) | Federal court in San Antonio | On Monday 21 September 2026 the Environmental Integrity Project, the Sierra Club and Public Citizen filed a federal Clean Air Act lawsuit in San Antonio against Vantage and VoltaGrid over two Vantage data center campuses and the co-located gas-fueled power plants VoltaGrid built and manages. The groups allege the facilities should have obtained major source permits, with best available control technology, monitoring and public participation, before construction, instead of minor source permits, in an area that fails federal smog standards. The groups sent a notice of intent to sue in July 2026. The Rogers Road facility was partly operational before the first public hearing. The case is Public Citizen, Inc. and Sierra Club, Inc. v. Vantage Data Centers Management Company, LLC, Vantage Data Centers TX11, LLC, Vantage Data Centers TX21, LLC and VoltaGrid LLC, No. 5:26-cv-06032 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division (Judge Jason K. Pulliam, referred to Magistrate Judge Elizabeth S. Chestney), filed under the Clean Air Act citizen suit provision. With the complaint the plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. On 29 September 2026 the Vantage entities and VoltaGrid each filed opposed motions for more time to respond to the preliminary injunction motion, and Vantage also sought more time to answer the complaint; answers had been due 14 and 15 October 2026. The TX11 entity named in the suit is a San Antonio registration, not the Vantage Frontier campus in Shackelford County. |

Every state, one page each
Figures beside each state are named sites and blocked, delayed or restricted projects.
Seven references, one system
Capital, delay, policy, water, grid, permits and scarcity are one system seen from seven sides. Each reference is primary-sourced, refreshed on a schedule, and links into the others, so a project can be followed from the money committed to the docket that stopped it.
