entergy texas restoration is done in an orderly and deliberate manner. power is first restored to critical community infrastructure and essential services such as hospitals, water treatment plants, police and fire stations, and communication systems. next, lines serving large areas of customers, then neighborhoods are restored. this process returns power to the largest number of customers in the shortest amount of time. some homes and businesses take longer, as individual customer homes or businesses with damage are often the most time-consuming repairs.
