Harris County, reported in the 2020s

202 of the 4,460 LPST cases in Harris County — 4.5% — were reported during the 2020s.

How this group compares

Harris County holds 16.0% of the 1,266 Texas cases reported in the 2020s, while holding 15.0% of all Texas cases — so it is over-represented in this decade.

The 2020s were the most recent cases on the file.

91 of the 202 cases from this decade in Harris County are still open — 45.0%. The oldest of them was reported in 2020, and 91 were reported in 2015 or later.

That spread matters more than the count. An open case from the 1990s usually means a long remediation that was never formally closed; one from last year means something recent. The file records the two dates and nothing else — not the substance, not the extent, not what is left to do. How to read an open case.
