CoreWeave Seeks Texas Cooperation After Governor-Elect Moratorium Pledge
CoreWeave Inc. has sent a letter to Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa seeking to collaborate on current and future data center projects in the state.

CoreWeave is asking the incoming administration to coordinate on clear and durable standards for data centers while attempting to secure protections for its existing permitted developments.
Why it matters

Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa campaigned on instituting a data center moratorium and enacting laws to shield citizens from infrastructure impacts. This political shift has created significant regulatory uncertainty for companies operating in the region.
