Texas
The second-most-populous U.S. state; an energy, aerospace, and technology heavyweight.
Coverage of Texas is holding steady : 23 signals on the latest tracked day, down 8% from its three-week baseline of 25, across 18 domains (down from 21 a week ago). That makes it the #126 most-covered of the 348 concerns we track.
Texas is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 25 signals a day across 18 domains (2 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 32+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 18. That is the move that would push it up the Wire.
