An investigation into data centers has prompted questions about lawmakers' stances on the issue. All 181 Texas representatives and senators were asked four questions, with 45 responding, about 25% of the total. Every respondent expressed support for limiting water usage by data centers.

Most also backed requiring data centers to generate their own power, although one lawmaker raised concerns about potential pollution and emissions. Some lawmakers plan to introduce bills to regulate data centers in various ways.

Further details on the lawmakers' responses and plans are available, including specific proposals from individual representatives, such as regulating nondisclosure agreements for data centers.
