| contents | Motivated by the first oscillation results from JUNO, we study the phenomenological viability of texture zeros in the Dirac neutrino mass matrix. The improved precision on the solar mixing angle $\sin^2{θ_{12}}$ and the solar mass-squared difference $Δm_{21}^2$ provide a stringent probe for scrutinizing predictive texture zero frameworks. We perform a systematic scan of the allowed parameter space for two-zero textures, identifying sharp correlations among oscillation observables arising from the reduced parameter space. Our analysis reveals that current JUNO measurements impose stringent constraints on the viable texture structures. In particular, although textures $C$, $A_2$, and $A_1$ were previously viable, current JUNO data strongly disfavor $C$, leaving only textures $A_2$ and $A_1$ compatible with the data. These findings underscore the remarkable sensitivity of Dirac texture zero scenarios to the solar sector. |
