Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta's company entered into an agreement, made public in March, to purchase the Women's National Basketball Association's Connecticut Suns, an American professional basketball team that finished 11-33 in the Eastern Conference in 2025.

What we know: The agreement, which was announced on the Houston Rockets' social media page March 30, involves relocating the franchise to Houston and rebranding the team as the Houston Comets, a historic title tied to the former WNBA team that was based in Houston from 1997 to 2008.

Pending league approval, the franchise is expected to begin playing at the Toyota Center for the start of the 2027 WNBA season, per the post.

The history: The Comets were one of the WNBA's original eight franchises, and during their reign, won four consecutive championships from 1997 to 2000 with top names like Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes and Tina Thompson.

Before you go: The Connecticut Suns will play its final season at Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut in 2026 before relocating to Houston.

In the nine months until Texas’ 90th legislative session begins in January, state lawmakers are expected to hold information-gathering hearings on hundreds of topics that will lay the groundwork for next year’s policymaking.

During a March 27 legislative summit in New Braunfels, four longtime lawmakers shared some of their top priorities for next year.

What they're saying: The legislators said they were focused on furthering some projects from previous legislative cycles, including water preservation initiatives and a new education savings account program.

More details: They said they also intend to study data center operations and how the large facilities impact local water supplies, noting that the legislature will work with local officials to determine how much data center regulation should happen locally and when the state should step in. 

“Does the state need to be involved? Yes,” Rep. Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, said. “Does local government need to have a say? Yes. But we’ve also got to remember, so does the private taxpayer. So we need to get a combination of all three.”
