The city of Houston may be in a financial bind by June if something doesn't change. Recently, the city controller, Chris Hollins, sounded the alarm about the city's financial future. He said that the city's coffers will be empty by then without some course correction.

"We are rapidly approaching a point where, without significant budget cuts or new revenue, certifying the budget may no longer be feasible," Hollins said.

Unless Houston leaders are able to secure new revenue or cut spending, Controller Chris Hollins said he may not be able to certify the 2026 budget.
