Even another perspective, if you divide Texas in half, the Eastern half (where most of Texas population) is roughly the size of Georgia and the Carolinas - with both Eastern Texas and GA/NC/SC having similar population.

Florida is growing, but I'm not sure how it's lesser growth could be considered more impressive than the growth in Texas.
Virtually all of Texas' growth is in it's four major metros. DFW added 150,000 on it's own, and is now racing toward 10,000,000 megacity status. Houston is not too far behind. Austin and San Antonio both continue to be among the nation's fastest growing as well.
