Tom Luce: Texas in 2036

Preston Hollow neighbor Tom Luce is leading a movement to ensure Texas is still the “best place to live and do business” in 2036, when the state celebrates its 200th birthday. Luce, an SMU alum, is the founder and chairman of Texas 2036, a nonprofit created in 2016 that interprets state data and creates a plan. “My life experiences tell me that you can really deal with things if you take the longterm view — if you’ll act before you have a crisis.”
