I agree with you. I sometimes think there ae some who do not take into consideration the cities of Dallas, Houston and San Antonio...and Austin. We would never get the votes to secede. You make an excellent point.
Yep. Out of staters especially don’t realize that the Texas population is more than 4/5 urban. Hell, I even have a friend in East Texas recently call me out when I said that 6 million people life in the metroplex, so it’s not just out of staters. Turns out I was wrong, 2012 is projected to be much closer to 7 million.
