Given that so many of the new “immigrants“ are from California, I’m a bit surprised that Austin isn’t outpacing DFW.

Austin just doesn't have the expansionability that DFW does. We're about SIX times bigger than Austin, and alot of that space has planty of room for construction. Austin has Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Georgetown, and that's about it. There's just not the huge extended area, you have Austin +5. DFW is +50. Dallas to the border is about 80 miles. Over half of that is built up and suburban land. Sure, Austin is the California of Texas, but it's just not big enough for all the Yankees to come move to.
