Donut Taco Palace I is celebrating 20 years of operating in the Oak Hill area in June.

The details: Pisey Seng, also known as Angel, opened the donut and taco shop on June 15, 2006, owner Frederick Hart said. The business later expanded to Donut Taco Palace II off Slaughter Lane in September 2009, and also previously operated a third location off North Lamar Boulevard.

The shop is known for its donut tacos and donut sandwiches, which combine fillings such as bacon, eggs, chorizo or cheese in between donut slices. The menu also includes regular breakfast tacos, glazed, iced and cake donuts, and kolaches. 

Something to note: The shop will offer customers a free donut and coffee on June 15 during its normal business hours of 5 a.m.-1 p.m. while supplies last, Hart said.

Austin ISD will increase the number of instructional days in the 2026-27 academic year from 169 to 171, the district announced in a news release.

What’s changing: The AISD board passed the addition of two instructional days during a May 21 board vote.

The days are to be added in October and February as part of what the district describes as a strategic effort to strengthen academic outcomes and expand learning opportunities for students.

Some context: The calendar update is part of a longer-term plan to gradually reach 175 instructional days in future school years, according to the district.

Once the district reaches its goal of 175 instructional days, it would become eligible for supplemental funding under the Texas Education Agency's Additional Days School Year program.

Texas must protect residential consumers from paying for the infrastructure needed to power new data centers, Gov. Greg Abbott said in a June 10 order aimed at balancing the rapid growth of data centers with the needs of residents and communities.

The big picture: The governor directed state regulators to ensure data center companies do not pass infrastructure costs on to ratepayers, urging lawmakers to tighten regulations on data centers’ water use and repeal certain tax exemptions that benefit the industry.

Abbott’s order comes as Texas grapples with how to manage the data center boom amid climbing electric demand and looming water shortages. It is the first time the Republican governor has publicly called to restrict data center growth.

The context: As communities across Texas consider new data center projects, reporting shows that some residents are pushing back, raising concerns about the large facilities’ water usage, potential strain on the electric grid and impacts on local neighborhoods.

What they're saying: In response, state agencies called protecting consumers from rising electric costs "our top priority."
