Annual Rainfall per square inch seems like a relevant factor though.

Really? That does not comport with my experience growing up there.

Where is "there"? Texas is a fairly large state, spanning ~11 degrees of latitude.

The climate in Houston differs from that in Arlington, for example.

"Averages" is doing heavy lifting in GP's statement. It's a vast state, after all, and how meaningful is an average between the climates of Houston and El Paso?

Climate trends change over the years. How long ago did you grow up there?
