The same can be said for the 2000 census data. The Census data also indicates 30 cities with over 10,000 residents and several over 100,000. The module does say "there are no cities as we know them". This is hard to reconcile with a population of 5,000,000 in an area half the size of the original state of Texas (maybe even less) and the lack of any urban centers. It can be looked at one or two ways. Maybe the population is much lower or perhaps the level of urbanization and industrialization is higher. I personally chose to increase their technology. They have trains (come on there were trains in Texas before the Civil War).

5,000,000 people is enough to support a lot of industry and technology.
