Collapse Compass Scan — Texas (2025)

Texas stretches wide, but the cracks run just as far. Drive it north to south and you’ll see almost every version of America’s unraveling: booming suburbs outside Austin where rent rises faster than wages, ghosted oil towns in the Panhandle, and Gulf Coast cities rebuilding for the third time in a decade after storms tear through. Power grids hum until they don’t, the winter freeze a few years back still fresh in people’s minds every time the temperature swings. Water tables are dropping, fields in West Texas turn to dust, and ranchers haul tanks by truck just to keep cattle alive. In Houston, dollar stores replace old grocers; in El Paso, families split between pesos, dollars, and crypto to get by. Texas still projects toughness—flags, slogans, independence—but beneath it runs a quiet scramble: for backup generators, side hustles, and ways to keep the lights on when Austin or Washington can’t. Let’s chart the state.
