Dallas and Houston are very transient. They're still similar cities.

IMO Waco should annex Beverly Hills, Hewitt and Robinson. That alone would boost Wacos population by 25 or 30 thousand!
The battle is over and Killeen Won.

You can't annex cities unless they ask you to or want you too. That is very unusal but could happen. Whitehouse officals, 8,000 pop. just outside Tyler, asked Tyler about 3 months ago to consider annexing them because Tyler has a city property tax rate of about .20 per hundred dollars evaluation, lowest in Texas of any city over 15,000 and lower than most any city except the cities that sit on a gas or oil reserve.Tyler said no thanks. You see you have to look at the cost. Whitehouse had to much debt and Tyler is into debt reduction or as it is now, has no I repeat no city debt.

Also Tyler is smaller than area than many cities near it's size because of the same reason, will not annex unless asked and likely not annex on their own ambition unless it pays well, which is not consistent with keeping taxes down to about 1/3 of what other cites tax rates are, at approximately .60-.80 per hundred evalutation.

Nothing besides the race for population, except for maybe most cheap new houses on small lots. Wait a minute, most pawn shops, most used car lots, most payday loan locations per population. yes, Killeen is a real winner.
