Herbert Ong(@herbertong):Texas has a built-in brake on rapid, sweeping data-center restrictions: its Legislature only meets in regular session every two years. That gives current projects more continuity than campaign rhetoric suggests. @TeslaBoomerMama explains that regular lawmaking runs from January into May, with roughly a year and a half between sessions. Special sessions can be called, but they're usually narrow and last no more than 30 days. New legislation also needs both chambers, and Republicans retain the Senate. A new governor can shape the debate, but turning it into a broad new regime takes legislative agreement and time. $SPCX
