I think that Corpus Christi has a nice system.

Lubbock to me seems overbuilt for the city's need.

Midland/Odessa is the opposite of Lubbock, not nearly enough highways to accommodate oil field traffic safely.

CC has a great highway system in and around the city with IH 37, IH 69/77, US 181, SH 358, SH 286, SH 44, and SH 35. For a city and metro area as small as it is, the highways are placed well.

Yeah, I lived in Lubbock while I was going to Texas Tech and it's a great city but it is indeed overbuilt with highways.

Midland-Odessa is certainly in bad need of a better highway/freeway system.

Abilene 120,000 McAllen 136,000, Killen 137,000, Denton 123,000, Frisco 136,000, McKinney 148,000, Brownsville 181,000, sorta could go in the mid-cites, if Beaumont, Waco, Wichita Falls, are in mid-cities, maybe split too many times just larger, and all the rest might work better. Large list is very clear.

Mesquite,Plano,Arlington,Garland,Irving, belong anywhere?

Abilene, Killeen, Brownsville, McAllen not suburbs, I meant large city category is obvious, then all the cities, in an ALL THE REST category, lol, I guess I just don't care for small and mid-cities categories, which cities go where, oh, well.
