~26000 births isnt a lot though compared to the 375000 births that occur in Texas every year.

It’s about 7%. That is a lot.

The real question is, what is the overall population growth rate compared with before? I wonder how many people are leaving TX, or (more likely) deciding to not move to TX, compared with previous years.

1 in 14.4 based on your numbers, sounds pretty dang high in my opinion.
