The story so far

The record starts in Corsicana, 9 September 2024. Since then 5 Texas towns have put the topic on a meeting record, the newest of them Friendswood on 25 August 2025.

A snapshot of a moving record

Everything above is frozen at 31 August 2026; the topic is not. 87 more events on this topic carry no usable date and are counted, never dated. The counts follow where we read most: a town or a state absent here was not read at depth, and absence is not evidence the topic is absent there. A lighter-read state is not a ceiling; where you care about a region, pointing the system there is the first thing an account changes. How coverage is built, and its known limits: municipalalpha.com/methodology.

How we can tell you about it ongoing

We track this topic continuously; this page is one cut of it, taken 31 August 2026. An account turns the snapshot into a working view: every town and every document behind these counts, the thread on each matter as it develops, word of new meetings as they land on the record, your own states and topics side by side, and the data itself when you want it in a table. The towns above are the taste; what each is actually deciding, funding or stalling is the read an account carries.

Also at this scope: Property tax and fees across the country. Counts and dates are computed from the documents on the record; the topic and its definition are ours. This page carries no subscriber content.
