AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Data Center Pause: Gov. Greg Abbott ordered Texas to freeze new data center grid connections pending audits of power, water use, subsidies, ownership, and community impacts—aimed at projects flooding ERCOT’s large-load queue. Public Safety: Abbott says Texas crime fell for a third straight year, citing Uniform Crime Reporting data and a 13% statewide drop in 2025. Back-to-School Relief: Texas’ tax-free weekend ran Friday through Sunday, with the comptroller estimating $142.5 million saved statewide; one Houston mom said she saved about $375 for five kids. Houston ISD Changes: HISD starts the school year with fewer students and less funding, projecting a 2.4% enrollment decline, consolidations, new bus routes, and an end to universal free lunch at 33 schools. Food Safety Lawsuit: Two Houston-area customers sued Popeyes for more than $1.5 million after alleging they found a “condom-like” object in fried chicken. Missing Person Update: Montgomery County authorities are working to confirm remains found near a missing New Caney woman, with identity expected via dental records. Local Business & Community: A1 Texas Gold was named Rockport-Fulton Chamber’s Business of the Month. Sports & Culture: Cam Coleman’s viral one-handed catch has Texas football buzzing, while Mattel released a Whitney Houston Barbie tied to her would-be 63rd birthday.
