According to the published agenda, the data center lawsuit update is scheduled to be discussed in a closed, or executive, session, meaning the deliberations themselves will not be open to the public. Texas open meetings law allows governmental bodies to discuss pending litigation privately under attorney consultation provisions. Any formal action resulting from the discussion would need to occur in open session, per standard open meetings procedures, though the agenda does not detail what, if any, action is contemplated.
Residents wishing to engage with the council on this or other agenda items may attend the Oct. 20, 2026 meeting in person. The full agenda, including procedures for public comment, is available through the CivicClerk portal linked in the official meeting file.
