I think all are more than 20 stories. The two under construction are 46 and 42 stories. Three more just outside Downtown in Midtown. I'm sure Dallas also has a number of high rise residential buildings in its downtown. It's very easy to not stay up-to-date with what is going on in other cities.
I'm not saying this to put Austin down, just pointing out that it's hard to notice the new high rises in Houston's downtown when they're surrounded by taller buildings. As for high rises outside of downtown, there is a lot to be said for having a 30th floor view OF downtown out your window.

Oh I'd never put down any of the Texas Titans. I love them all. I just made that comment because if Austin built more of it's current buildings outside of downtown it'd take away from how impressive it is. Houston's skylines, especially downtown, uptown and TMC, are all impressive by themselves. Could you imagine the view of all 3 were joined together?
