A town hall was hosted by Tarrant County Commissioner Matt Krause, where the debate over data centers was discussed. The commissioner believes this issue goes beyond party lines and that the Texas Legislature could establish standard criteria for projects. Commissioner Krause thinks some regulations are necessary, referring to them as "guardrails".

The town hall featured 23 speakers, including some from a neighborhood near a planned data center. Some speakers accepted the need for data centers due to artificial intelligence growth, but emphasized the need for regulations, particularly on water use. Further details on the town hall discussion are available.
