San Antonio

There should be a picture of San Antonio on here too. San Antonio has a larger population than Austin and Dallas. -Kylelovesyou (talk) 22:04, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, but

Dallas itself only has 1.2 million people, less than San Antonio at 1.35. But the Dallas metro area has about 6.6 million, while the San Antonio metro area is about 1/3 of that. Marzolian (talk) 23:43, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're both right, but SA should be included

However you cut it, San Antonio is larger than Austin (both in terms of metro and city population), and is one of the cities that forms the actual "triangle". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.119.153.84 (talk) 19:34, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Population figures

The population given is confusing and something is probably wrong. One place says: "The Texas Triangle ... and is home to more than 70% of all Texans (pop 13.8 million)." Later it says: "... region contains ... 17 million people, nearly 75 percent of Texas' total population." Marzolian (talk) 23:42, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Beaumont-Port Arthur MSA

The article currently says "Sometimes, Beaumont, located east of Houston, has been considered part of the Texas Triangle." Edited the article to be a little stronger based on the following. Every governmental study or university paper I have reviewed so far includes the Beaumont-Port Arthur area in the Texas Triangle. If there is something stronger that moves the boundary one county to the west, then I would support changing the wording back. I just haven't found any.

1. The Southeast Texas Regional Planning Commission is one of eleven regional councils or councils of government in the Texas Triangles Councils of Governments. ^[1]
2. The area is also included in another 2009 study by the University of Texas.^[2]
3. Another study in 2011 listed The Port of Beaumont as one of four major ports in the Texas Triangle.^[3]
4. The Beaumont area is also mentioned in another government funded study^[4] 5. The area is also depicted in a 2007 study linked to the US Department of Transportation titled Megaregions and Multi-Jurisdictional Planning.^[5]
