AT&T is planning to relocate its global headquarters to a new 54-acre campus in Plano’s Legacy District, according to a Jan. 5 announcement shared with employees by CEO John Stankey.

What you need to know: The new headquarters will be located at 5400 Legacy Drive, which is part of the former Ross Perot Electronic Data Systems campus at the intersection of Parkwood Boulevard and Legacy Drive. The city of Plano was in the process of redeveloping the site as the Texas Research Quarter, a planned life sciences and innovation district, as previously reported by Community Impact.

What’s next?: Stankey said in the statement AT&T is targeting partial occupancy in the new space “as early as the second half of 2028.” According to the city’s zoning website, the EDS campus is proposed for a zoning change from a planned development to commercial employment. The rezoning request covers 99 acres at the southeast corner of the intersection of Parkwood Boulevard and Legacy Drive, and will go before the Planning and Zoning Commission Feb. 2.

A new U.S. Postal Service rule could impact when time-sensitive mail, such as tax forms and mail-in ballots, is considered officially sent.

The overview: Effective Dec. 24, mailed items are postmarked when the USPS processes them, rather than the date items are dropped in a mailbox. A postmark refers to the date and location stamped or printed on most mailed items, indicating when and where the USPS “accepted custody” of a mailpiece, per the federal agency.

Zooming in: According to the Texas comptroller’s office, the updated USPS guidance means items could be postmarked “several days” after they are dropped in a mailbox. This includes date-sensitive items sent by Texas residents and businesses, such as property tax payments, federal tax returns, mail-in ballots and required business reports.

To ensure that mail is postmarked on the day it is sent, customers can take mail into their local post office and request that the item be hand-stamped for free, according to the USPS. Texans can also pay property taxes and submit ballots in-person at county offices.
