UTMB at Galveston already had a Level 4 lab so they probably were already set up with a bed. Notice the list doesn’t show a bed count. Parkland and UT Soutwestern didn’t have such a head start.
Look at the designated hospitals’ locations in relationship with the border. The ones in CA are in northern CA, not near the border. There are zero in Arizona and New Mexico. In TX, the closest to the border would be Galveston. It’s also interesting that if you’re in a politically red state, you’re pretty much on your own.
I guess FL (God’s waiting room) doesn’t need one.
