Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has opened an investigation into land originally conveyed for public park use that is now planned for a 60MW data center in Taylor, Texas. The probe will determine if the use violates any charitable trust or legal restrictions tied to the land's historic designation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Data Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your site selection decisions face new legal risk where land designated for public use could be legally reclaimed. You must reassess your property deals in Texas with regard to historical land commitments this week.
