When there is actual population growth in that county and we see actual increases in the number of people who commute into Travis County (note that is has to be Travis County, not Williamson, because of the way that the census bureau defines our metropolitan area) I might reconsider, but there is no indication that that will happen.

I said I wouldn't be surprised in the future, I didn't say it was happening now. I also didn't say Williamson would be defined by the metro area, I said Williamson is projected to reach a million people. Your talking about what is going on in Milam County right now but when you consider 20 to 30 years into the future, its a pretty good bet to assume Milam will be growing just by the fact that it will border a county with a million people and will be influenced by the Austin metro as a whole.
