From 2010 to 2020 "fast-growing Austin" metro area added about 570,000 people. Houston metro added twice that many - almost 1.2 million. Between 2000 and 2020, Houston metro added well more than the entire current population of Austin metro. As between Houston and Austin, it's pretty clear which metro area might need a new campus (and it's not Austin), and of course UT wasn't proposing a new campus anyway...
570k for Austin is much bigger than 1.2 million for Houston since the latter is over 3x Austin's size. Houston is slowing down a bit.
