Between 2010 and 2016 Texas has had the nation’s largest annual population growth, however, this does not mean. 165 Years ago the population of Texas stood at 210,000 people, however, today is at an astounding 28 million. According to our textbook, there are three reasons for the population growth in Texas which are natural increase as a result of the differences between birth’s and death’s, international immigration particularly from Mexico and domestic immigration from other states. Currently, the population is not only growing the racial makeup is also changing. In 2050 it is predicted that the population will reach 41,311,222 and the Texan Latino population will be 54% while in 2010 the population was only 25,145,561 with 38% being Latino.
