Seven Texas Cities Tank In A New Worst Run List

A massive amount of Texas cities are on a new list for worst run in the USA.

As an enormous amount of people continue to immigrate to Texas from across the country, the major cities of the Lone Star State like Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth are absorbing the bulk of the new residents. As more and more people and refugees stake their claim it becomes paramount that these cities work as efficiently as possible because if they slip to a point of no return it can end up bad for all of Texas.

El Paso, TX was determined to be the 48th best run city, and Corpus Christi, TX landed at exactly 50.

Only one other major city in Texas landed in the top half of best run in America.
