Without any numbers I can find by Googling, I would hazard a rough guess that this would add about 150k to the population? ~1.15 million.
How easy is it to annex out there in Texas? Can cities just take what they want, or does it have to go through a vote and tax-sharing schemes? CA cities have to include the areas they want to annex in the Sphere of Influence and an area can fight to not be included in that. It has to go through the Local Agency Formation Commission too.
