You are probably right, but Fort Worth has been tagging right along with Austin for the past two decades. It's interesting that both cities are almost the exact same size in terms of area, roughly 300 square miles. FW appears to have slightly more undeveloped land available both in the booming northern part of the metro and also in the thriving and affluent SW quadrant. The latter area is served by a new toll road, the Chisolm Parkway. Hopefully the graph in this link will work, even though it stops with 2016. It tracks Dallas, Fort Worth, and Austin growth rather well.
