Over 26K rapes in 16 months?... Uh, Texas, WTF?

For reference, Texas has a population of about 29M, Spain has a population of 47M... and we find 3K rapes in 12 months to be a high enough number to do something about it.

The Texas government actually hates Texans, but more specifically Texan women.
