BREAKING: Hill County just proved Texans aren’t powerless. When local people stood up, they hit pause on a 300-acre data center, joining Athens, Killeen, San Marcos, and Wichita Falls in pushing back. If Hill County can fight back, the rest of Texas can too.
Black news graphic from The Texas Tribune with the headline: “Texas county pauses data center construction in rural areas for a year.”

Below, smaller text reads: “Hill County commissioners’ split vote to issue a moratorium appears to be a first in Texas. Residents and local officials had aired concerns about how a proposed 300-acre development in north Hillsboro could impact the quality of life in the rural county through noise pollution and consuming large amounts of water and electricity.”

The date at the bottom reads: “May 13, 2026.” The graphic highlights Hill County’s decision to temporarily halt rural data center construction over concerns about water use, electricity demand, and quality of life.

What I think is interesting, here...and I mean beyond the explicit witness tampering, extortion, etc. is that 'clemency' is not without it's costs. Once clemency is granted, if she's subpoenaed she HAS to testify, and HAS to do so truthfully. If she lies, she can go to jail for contempt, etc.
