In a class this week, I was introduced to the term “Texaplex”. (…and no, it is NOT an oversized duplex in Texas.) Texaplex is what economists are calling the triangle between the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. In 2009, the population of the entire state of Texas was approx. 24 million people. Over the next 14 years, just the Texaplex alone is estimated to be the home of 22.5 million folks!
