The entire population of earth could fit into Texas at a density far less than the current density in New York City. We have plenty of room.

From wiki, the earth's population is about 6.6 billion, NYC's population density is 66,941 people/mi^2, and Texas is 268,601 mi^2. This works out to a pop. density of 24,572 people/mi^2, almost a third of the density of NYC.

And I have no doubt that the Texas desert could support such a population density. This statistic is nothing more than a curiousity.
