Texas has always inspired strong opinions about where the country is headed. So when someone declares that the state is falling, it is worth asking what that actually means for Texans.

Here is the situation

Texas faces consequential debates over energy reliability, housing costs, water supplies, property taxes, border policy and the state’s economic competitiveness. A sweeping claim that Texas has fallen is an opinion, not a measurable finding. Different communities may experience the same policies very differently.

The bigger picture

TNS focuses on the practical indicators that would substantiate or challenge an argument about the state’s direction.

What happens next

Jobs, taxes, housing and public services tell us more about the future of Texas than any single slogan ever could. Tex will keep you updated on this story right here at Texas News Studio.
