How many data centers are in Texas?
This page counts the major projects the Census has researched and sourced: 14 as of Sep 22, 2026. It does not yet include every smaller colocation or enterprise facility, so the total number of buildings in Texas is higher. We add projects as they are announced or found in public filings.
