Texas air permit applications that turned up on the pending list

What this page is21,329 rows held · newest sealed read 2026-08-29

• Texas publishes the air permits heavy industry is waiting on and overwrites the page in place: each copy replaces the last, so a day nobody takes a copy is a day gone for good. On 29 Aug 2026 there were 472 applications pending; on 9 Aug 2026 there were 488.
• 39 named applications are on the 29 Aug 2026 copy and were not on the 9 Aug 2026 one. Each row names the applicant, the site, the state's own permit number and the date the applicant filed.
• We hold 44 sealed copies of this list, from 10 Jul 2026 to 29 Aug 2026, and 21,329 dated rows across them.
• Every Texas row we hold carries a link to the agency's own application paper. All 21,329 of them. Those links go in the file you buy.

Real rows out of our sealed copies

These are rows we read out of dated copies we keep ourselves. The live source shows today only, so once a row moves, what it said before is gone from the place you would go to look.

What this page cannot tell you

• This is the Texas environment agency's own list of air permit applications waiting on a decision, and nothing else. It is not every permit in Texas, and it is not a list of factories or data centres — whoever is on the agency's list is who is on this page.
• One application means one permit number. The agency lists the same permit number twice on the same day now and then, and we count it once, so our pending totals can read one or two lower than the number of lines on the agency's own page.
• An application leaving the pending list is not proof a permit was issued. It can mean the permit was granted, that the applicant withdrew it, or that the agency stopped listing it and never said why. Those look identical from outside, so we do not sell any of them as an approval.
• The series has holes. Between 9 Aug 2026 and 29 Aug 2026 there are 5 days we hold no sealed copy for at all, across 2 breaks — the longest is 4 days after 13 Aug 2026. Anything that moved and moved back inside a hole is a change we never saw.
• There is no megawatt figure anywhere in this feed. An air permit application does not carry one, so printing one would mean making it up.
• Appearing on our later copy means the agency was not showing it on the earlier one. It does not mean the application was filed that week. The date the applicant filed is its own column, and on some rows it is months older.
