David de la Mora, chef and co-owner of Nahui Seafood, said he opened the restaurant in August 2023 to offer his community quality seafood that would be accessible to the average consumer.

Quote of note: “We focus on offering Mexican seafood dishes focusing on our hardworking Mexican-American locals that work in landscaping, construction and in the kitchen and struggle to attain luxuries like seafood and yearn for their homeland’s seafood Mexican staples,” restaurant administrator David Valle said.

What's special about it: The family-owned restaurant is operated by The Woodlands area residents, husband and wife duo de la Mora and Ana Valle alongside their son, David Valle. Formerly located in Spring, David Valle said the eatery relocated to The Woodlands to better serve their community.

On the menu: With ingredients imported from Mexico and seafood sourced from the Pacific Ocean, de la Mora creates authentic Mexican seafood dishes. The Chargrilled Aguachile is amongst the eateries most popular dishes and is made with shrimp cured in lime juice, grilled peppers and housemade black sauce.

Shipley Donuts is celebrating its 90th anniversary–nearly a century after its opening in 1936–with a 10-week-long promotion running until Oct. 18, according to a news release.

The special began Aug. 10 and is set to rotate through various value deals, in addition to debuting limited-time birthday-themed donuts.

The history: Shipley’s story began nine decades ago in the oven of its original bakery located at 1417 Crockett St., Houston. The bakery’s founder, Lawrence Shipley Sr., sold his handcrafted, pillowy donuts dipped in a warm glaze wholesale for just five cents a dozen, per the release.

Flash forward to the present: the Houston-based donut parlor still serves that same hexagon-cut treat fresh every morning, now from nearly 400 locations across 13 states.

What to expect: At participating locations, customers can get a taste of the all-new Birthday Bullseye, a festive spin on Shipley’s classic Strawberry Bullseye.

The donut is available individually and as part of the limited-time 1936 Shipley Favorites Box, a nostalgic dozen consisting of other beloved flavors.

Texas senators indicated Sept. 1 that they intend to tighten regulations on data centers during next year’s legislative session, which begins in January.

What they're saying: “I think every member's district has had an impact from a data center conversation, so there will be plenty of bills trying to put things in place that are reasonable, responsible regulatory frameworks for data centers,” state Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, said.

The big picture: With some Texas residents and conservation groups sounding the alarm about water-intensive technologies used by some data centers, state agencies have warned that limited information is available on how much water the industry actually uses. Officials said they have also had trouble determining exactly how many data centers are operating in the state today, as there is no “comprehensive statewide list” of existing and planned facilities.

Estimates from state agencies and the University of Texas at Austin suggest that roughly 370 data centers are currently operating in Texas, with about 100 facilities under construction and another 180 being proposed.
