TDLR · TABS registrations filed Sept 30 to Oct 2, 2026
Big builds registered in Texas

What these filings are. A TDLR registration is an accessibility filing. It doesn't authorize construction, and its dates can change. A Part 70 renewal can be paperwork, so read the modification before you spend time on it. A draft permit isn't a final permit, and a pending application can be changed or withdrawn. FERC schedule dates are staff targets and can move. The "What you could sell" line is our judgment, not a bid list.
See you next Friday.
