The governor-elect of Texas, Gina Hinojosa, has explicitly said that all currently permitted datacenters in Texas will be allowed to finish construction. This essentially covers all of the 2027 and likely well into 2028.
She is going to pass laws that ensure that all *newly* permitted datacenters going forward for delivery in 2028/2029 will pay taxes, commit to no increase in power prices for consumers, don’t impact water availability for people, be constructed with union labor and give “Texans a seat at the table.”
Sounds reasonable. She doesn’t want to lose a lot of good blue collar jobs and property taxes for small towns in rural Texas.
Datacenter commentary starts at 6:30 in this interview.
Also attaching her official campaign position from her website in the next post.
Sidenote: After watching a bunch of her speeches and interviews, I do think she is a political talent and probably has a future in national politics.

We started Hyperbolic to make the world’s compute unified, productive and liquid.
Today, we’re announcing our new $30M round to keep building toward that.
Grateful to our team, customers, and investors for believing in us. There’s a lot more to build.
We’ve raised an oversubscribed $30M Series A1 led by @walden_catalyst to build the Global Compute Grid.
We’re turning fragmented GPU capacity into one unified platform where AI teams can access, manage, sell, and orchestrate compute.
Our mission: make the world’s compute unified, productive and liquid.
Announced Dec 2025, Launched April 2026, more banks launched since then and some absolutely insane announcements coming soon.
I'd say we did it a bit sooner :)

Introducing the Compute Labs Financing Platform.
Financing your GPU cluster shouldn't feel impossible. Capital is ready, but most neocloud operators with customer demand have no capital markets team to turn it into a deal funders can confidently evaluate.
Our platform turns a neocloud's deal documents into a standardized package, with every figure verified by its source.
Neoclouds receive support from intake to close and beyond. Funders get deals they can evaluate with confidence.

Hyperliquid should be the primary venue for price discovery of the most important risk assets in the world, including US equities.
We’re building EQX to help make that happen. Share-backed spot equities, a structure you can verify, and zero issuer fees.
Trading goes live soon.
Live is the one thing AI can’t replace. But you can’t fix live until you fix where its money comes from.
Ticketing companies aren't banks. Venues and artists should be unbanked.
This all changes with the Bank of Live where we enter the new age of AI Finance x Live Events
