As the rest of the nation has dealt with an economic downturn over the last several years, Texas has skirted by relatively untouched, prompting growth in the population and economy. The influx of people and capital, however, brings its share of change to the legal community.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the Texas population increased 4.2 million between 2000 and 2010 (around 20 percent), at twice the national rate. As of May 2014, the U.S. Census Bureau puts seven Texas cities in the top 15 fastest growing cities in the country including: San Marcos, Frisco, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Odessa, McKinney and Pearland. As of Feb. 1, the Texas Comptroller’s office has calculated a projected state population of 26 million. Urban areas are credited with most of that increase; however, certain rural counties are experiencing a more recent influx of workers and families swelling their small-town populations.
