Why Texas Has Already Become Three Different States (Without Anyone Noticing)

Описание: This documentary explores how the Texas Triangle has quietly become three different states living inside one border. Nearly 23 million people now live within the Dallas Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin San Antonio regions, generating about 77 percent of all economic output in Texas. The distances between these metros create separate identities, cultures, and industries, with most residents rarely crossing from one region to another.

Houston functions as a global port and energy hub with a metro economy over 700 billion dollars. Dallas Fort Worth operates as the state's corporate and logistics center with more than 20 Fortune 500 headquarters. Along Interstate 35, the Austin San Antonio corridor blends technology, military power, and rapid suburban growth, forming a new mega region that could double in size by mid century.

These divides shape everything from infrastructure to politics. The 2021 grid failure exposed how each region faces different vulnerabilities. Companies choosing where to expand weigh the triangle cities almost like separate states, competing for talent, investment, and resources. As the triangle grows, Texas must reconcile three distinct economic engines pulling in different directions.
