Texas lawmakers are reevaluating a tax break for data centers that was established 13 years ago. At the time, the expected loss in tax revenue was relatively small. State projections now indicate that the tax deal could result in Texas forgoing a significant amount of revenue.

The projected loss is substantially higher than initially anticipated, with potential losses exceeding $3 billion in the upcoming biennium. Further information on this development is available from Houston Public Media, including details on the tax break and its potential impact on the state's budget.
