Texas lawmakers are reevaluating a tax break for data centers that was created 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 details on the tax break and its potential impact are available from Houston Public Media, which has reported on the issue.
