From your link.....

In September, the U.S. State Department announced it would accept 10,000 Syrian refugees next year. Thousands have fled war-stricken Syria, mostly to Europe, Turkey and Jordan, as the terrorist group ISIS has taken over much of the nation’s territory.

It is unclear how many of those refugees would have ended up in Texas, but in recent years, the Lone Star State has accepted about 10 percent of the 70,000 refugees admitted into the country annually.

The annual refugee count went up by 10,000 for this fiscal yr, goes up another 15,000 next fiscal yr
and then to 100,000 the following fiscal yr. It had been at 60,000 annually for some time.
