Well yes. Dallas and Fort worth were able to dictate that the TTC 35 would connect to the DFW Donut. However, that didn't help Desoto, or numerous others along 35, 20, and 635, who were also in the ROT group.
You also shouldn't underestimate the influence that Houston had on the I 69 route.
BTW, Little Rock and Memphis also joined ROT.
