I was just in Harlingen, Texas. Definitely lots of palm trees especially at the interchange of the 69E and the 2 (also known as HWY 83 and HWY 77).

Oddly, on the Houston board, some people seem to hate palm trees and just want more live oaks. I like palms, but I also enjoy seeing more variety. But ... most new development (e.g., the Boulevard project along Post Oak Blvd) involve planting only live oaks. They do provide more shade, but it gets kinda boring.

Default RGV Has the Most

The Mcallen-Harlingen-Brownsville metro area in the Rio Grande Valley as some have already pointed out has the most palm trees. I have been in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio and they have less.

This is basically spot on.

If talking major metros, I would put Houston first, San Antonio second, and Austin 3rd (I can't speak to El Paso, it's the only metro in Texas I haven't personally been to). Austin actually has a lot of mature palm trees.

If talking all metros in Texas, then RGV far and away #1, Corpus #2, Houston 3, SA 4, Austin 5, El Paso 6 (I guess, could be 5 and Austin 6), and Dallas 7.

Coming down I35, Austin, or just north of Austin, is the first place where palm trees are actually prominent in the landscape.

All of the big triangle metros have palm trees.

Houston: Huge prevalance of palm trees, supported by the hot and humid climate.
San Antonio: Also a huge prevalence.
Dallas-Fort Worth: Not as much of a prevalence.
Austin: There are palm trees here and there around the city, not as much prevalence as Houston or San Antonio though.
El Paso: Palm trees are more easily visible here due to the lack of other trees. Mostly desert palms though.
Corpus Christi: HUGE Prevalence
Rio Grande Valley: The most palm trees of any metro in Texas.
