semiconductors
The story concerns TSMC's reported plan to add another semiconductor plant in Texas, which would extend its U.S. manufacturing footprint beyond Arizona. For other semiconductor projects in Texas, the relevant change is a potential new fab site rather than a completed permit, contract, or opening; the excerpt does not say which Texas location is involved or give project timing.

aerospace
The story is about a proposed Texas shipyard project and the political attention around it. For other facilities in the same industrial lane, the issue is how a large site plan can shape permitting, incentives, land use, and future hiring, but the excerpt does not say whether construction has started or what approvals remain.
Austin American-Statesman
automotive
The story is about a presidential visit to the Peterbilt truck plant in Denton. For systems that track industrial coverage, the plant is the relevant unit; the excerpt does not say whether the visit changes operations, hiring, permits, or investment at the facility.
Dallas News
Markets
The story is about a Dallas Fed survey showing a rebound in Texas manufacturing output, which points to broader conditions across plants in the region rather than a single facility change. It does not identify a specific factory, project, closure, or permit action, so it is more of a sector snapshot than a plant-level development.
