The 2010 Census showed that non-Hispanic single-race whites were 45.3% of Texas' total population, single-race blacks were 11.8%, and Hispanics were 37.6%.

According to our most recent figures (the July 1, 2011 population estimates), non-Hispanic single-race whites comprised 44.8% of Texas' total population. Single-race blacks comprised 12.2%, while Hispanics were 38.1%.

We will not have state population projections available until sometime next year.
