No way! Texas has 261,914 square miles of land. That's equal to 167,625,000 acres. According to the United Nations, there will be 6 billion people on Earth by October of this year (and many people think that the United Nations has undercounted, perhaps by as much as one fifth). This means that there would be 36 people per acre; rather, each person would get a bit less than 0.03 acres.

0.03 acres is about equal to 120 square metres, about enough room for a small house. (But there would be no room for streets, parks, industries, schools, libraries....uggggh...)
