Editorial standards
How Texas Growth Watch selects projects, evaluates sources, labels uncertainty, handles corrections and updates the public record.
Our mission
Texas Growth Watch helps Texans understand major development through verified public records and clear, plain-English context. The goal is to make public information easier to find, understand, and follow over time.
What we track
Data centers, manufacturing, energy, water, transportation, ports, industrial development and utility infrastructure.
Permits, hearings, moratoriums, incentive agreements, infrastructure commitments and significant litigation.
How built projects affect housing, roads, utilities, public services, schools, workforce and local governance.
How projects are selected
Source designations
Supported directly by permits, agendas, filings, court records, environmental notices or public agreements.
Supported by established news organizations or company announcements, but not yet fully reflected in public records.
Early information that appears credible but requires additional public confirmation. These entries are clearly labeled and updated as records emerge.
Update and correction policy
The tracker is reviewed weekly, with priority updates when major permits, hearings, incentive agreements, lawsuits, moratoriums or infrastructure impacts become public.
Correction requests are reviewed against the underlying public record. Entries may be updated, relabeled, archived or removed as better evidence becomes available.
Email esantos@martinezlawtx.com with the record, source link and proposed correction.
Transparency and independence
Every project links to underlying sources whenever possible. When public records and news reports differ, official records control. Inclusion does not imply support for or opposition to any project.
