Here’s what 4 Texas lawmakers say they’re focused on ahead of 2027 legislature

A bipartisan panel of four Texas lawmakers convened a summit in New Braunfels on March 27 to outline their key policy priorities in preparation for the 2027 legislative session. The discussions centered on critical issues such as water preservation, state education funding, and the regulation of data center operations. These policy priorities will be subject to public hearings before the state legislature officially reconvenes in January. The focus on data center operations indicates a growing attention to the industry's impact and the need for legislative frameworks in the state.
