  • Recommended on March 23, 2026 that Lampasas County officials get legal advice on how the county could regulate data centers and battery energy storage sites. He made the point after a local lawyer told the court other Texas counties had used moratoriums and lawsuits, and he noted Lampasas County has less money than Hays County.
