Source: U.S. Senate Office of Public Records, Lobbying Disclosure Act filings via the LDA API. Latest observation 2025 filings, fetched 2026-11-01. A contract is one client and one lobbying registrant with a filing in the year; a company lobbying in-house counts as one. A filing count is the number of quarterly reports and registrations, not lobbyists or dollars. Amounts are the income registrants reported for the client plus expenses self-filers reported. Client names open the Senate filing search; the network icon opens the client's donor and PAC network on purchasingpolicy.org where a match exists

Rates are as the Comptroller publishes them in its annual rates and levies files; the change is from the first to the last year each unit reports. A school district marked split reaches into more than one county; the rate is the same in each. TEA's adopted school rates, which run on the school year, are loaded beside these for the Step 9 comparison.

The statewide data center sales tax exemption, by fiscal year

FY 2025FY 2026FY 2027FY 2028FY 2029FY 2030
$1,015.6M$1,305.1M$1,598.0M$1,600.9M$1,692.9M$1,753.3M

The Comptroller's estimate of state revenue not collected under Tax Code Section 151.359, in millions of dollars, from its January 2025 Tax Exemptions and Tax Incidence report. The large data center exemption is included in these figures. Statewide; no county share is published.

When the Legislature created the exemption in 2013, lawmakers were told it would reduce state revenue by about $14.6 million for the 2014-15 biennium, the exemption's first two years, KUT reported in July 2026. The same report put the current projection at roughly $3.3 billion for the 2028-29 budget cycle. KUT.

The grid and your bill

The delivery company for Harris County from EIA's Form 861 service territories, its delivery charges from the PUC's rate reports, today's retail offers from Power to Choose for that company, EIA's statewide residential averages, and what the state has on record for the grid. Retail offers and delivery charges are by company, EIA and ERCOT figures are statewide.

Who delivers your power

CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric delivers power in Harris County: EIA-861 lists CenterPoint Energy as serving the county, with 2,485,470 residential customers statewide in 2024, the most of the delivery companies listed for the county.

CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric's residential delivery charges as of September 1, 2026: a customer charge of $2.11 and a metering charge of $2.79 per month, and 0.06413 dollars per kilowatt-hour, which the PUC's report puts at $69.03 for a 1,000 kilowatt-hour month before the retail provider's energy charge. PUC of Texas, CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric rates report.

What retailers are offering today

On November 1, 2026, Power to Choose listed 148 fixed-rate offers for homes on CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric (175 offers in all). At 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month the lowest was 6.20 cents per kilowatt-hour and the median 13.05 cents per kilowatt-hour, delivery included, as the site prices them.

The statewide average, by the same month

EIA's statewide residential average was 15.91 cents per kilowatt-hour in August 2026, against 15.40 cents per kilowatt-hour in August 2025, the same month a year earlier: up 0.51 cents. EIA table 5.6.A.

Five years earlier, in August 2021, the same statewide average was 11.94 cents per kilowatt-hour, so August 2026 stands 33.2 percent higher than the same month five years before.

EIA's annual statewide residential average for Texas was 11.71 cents per kilowatt-hour in 2020, the latest year in its annual file. EIA annual file.

Statewide figures: no county average is published. A month is compared only with the same month of an earlier year, since summer and winter prices differ.

What the state has on record for the grid

  1. August 3, 2026
    statewide (ERCOT region)
    As of the Governor's August 3, 2026 audit directive, ERCOT was tracking more than 1,800 projects in its interconnection queue representing over 474 gigawatts, more than five times the grid's record peak demand, with approximately 90 percent of the new power requests being data centers, as the Texas Tribune and the Governor's office reported. Source, Detail.The Part E brief gives 474.7 gigawatts and 90.2 percent as of June 2026; the Tribune and the Governor's release say "over 474 gigawatts" and "approximately 90 percent". The rounded figures are recorded because those are what the cited sources print; the decimals go in when an ERCOT document stating them is added as a source.
  2. August 3, 2026
    Statewide
    On August 3, 2026 Governor Abbott directed the PUC and ERCOT to conduct a comprehensive verification and audit of every data center advancing through ERCOT's interconnection queue, with any project that fails to comply denied connection to the grid, as the Texas Tribune reported. Source, Detail.
  3. June 10, 2026
    Statewide
    On June 10, 2026 Governor Abbott directed the PUC to take action so that data center interconnections result in reduced residential bills and to require data centers to pay all of their electric infrastructure costs, and directed the PUC and ERCOT to review their authorities and report by July 17, 2026, with the PUC to begin action on residential transmission costs by July 31, 2026. Source.
  4. June 20, 2025
    Statewide
    Senate Bill 6 of the 89th Legislature, by King, was signed by the Governor on June 20, 2025 and took effect immediately; it gives ERCOT oversight of transactions between generators and large loads such as data centers and authority to cut and redistribute their power in an emergency, as the Texas Tribune described it. Source, Detail.

ERCOT's queue figures are statewide or by load zone and are never broken down by county.

The water line

Water figures reported for proposed facilities in Harris County, beside the county's own water use as the Texas Water Development Board estimates it, and the groundwater conservation district for the county's center point. Claims are as reported, not measured.

No facility-level dataset of data center water use exists in Texas. No state agency publishes how much water any data center takes, and the Texas Tribune reports that the state does not holistically track water use by the industry, there being no uniform way for reporting or tracking it. Figures for a proposed facility come only from what a developer, an official or residents have said in public, with the source named.

What has been said about proposed facilities here

No water figure for a proposed data center in Harris County has been reported in the sources WalletShock tracks.

Pages checked with no published figure

On September 24, 2026, WalletShock opened 98 pages across Texas looking for a water figure tied to a specific data center. The pages below mention facilities in Harris County and give no such figure; each is linked so a reader can look for themselves. Where a page could not be read in full (a paywall, an unreadable document), its title says so.

No page opened on September 24, 2026 mentioned a facility in Harris County.

Searched, with nothing published found

  • Houston-area hyperscale or AI campuses (Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Waller, Liberty, Chambers and Galveston counties): no facility-specific water figure found; coverage was limited to local rules in Conroe, Missouri City and Brazoria County.

A list of pages opened is a record of what was looked at, not proof that no figure exists. When a figure for a facility is published, it belongs in the reported figures above, with its source.

What the county uses

Harris County's municipal water use in 2024 was 869,741 acre-feet (227,580 from groundwater, 638,705 from surface water, 3,456 reuse), serving an estimated population of 5,009,302, in the Water Development Board's historical water use estimates. TWDB.

1. Does the court intend to act on data center applications in Harris County, and if so, on what schedule?

2. Hood County asked the Attorney General on February 23, 2026 whether a county may declare a moratorium on industrial development, and that request still reads "Pending" on the Attorney General's website. What does this court need from the Attorney General to decide its own course, and has it asked?

I would be grateful for a reply in writing. Every figure above is from the source named beside it, and the page I used is public at walletshock.org/tx.

Respectfully,

[your name]
Harris County, Texas
