Velvet Taco: local figures for Texas.
FigureValueWhat it measuresTexas only
Locations in Texas38Records the US location index holds for Velvet Taco inside Texas right now — a snapshot at the Q3 2026 release, not a change over time.
Rank among Velvet Taco's states1st of 6By location count, among the states where this brand clears the publication floor.
States with a published Velvet Taco page6States where the brand has at least 3 locations. Smaller states exist in the index and are not published.
Locations across those states57The sum of the state table below. Lower than the national count, which includes states under the floor.
Texas's share of that footprint66.7%A share of the published states only. Both halves are the same measure, so this is not a growth rate.
Verified openings in Texas5A DIFFERENT measure from the count above: openings detected inside the tracked window, not stores standing today.

  • The two counts above are measured differently and are both correct. Locations in Texas is a presence snapshot of what operates there now; verified openings counts what opened inside the tracked window. A chain that already had 40 locations in Texas and opened none reads 0 openings.
  • It is a count of OPENINGS, not of stores. Openings are diffs against the previous release, so a mature operator that finished its Texas buildout before the window opened shows a large location count and no openings at all.
Where Velvet Taco has opened in Texas

Cities with verified openings recorded for Velvet Taco in Texas. The count beside each city is its openings — not its total Velvet Taco locations.

  • 5 cities with verified openings in Texas.
  • Spellings are folded the same way the city URLs are built, so "St. Louis" and "St Louis" are one city rather than two. The most frequent raw spelling wins the label; "Spellings folded" is how many the index actually holds.
  • Cities are NOT linked: a city page is published only where at least three brands clear the floor, so a link from here would frequently point at a page that does not exist.

  • A state appears here only with at least 3 locations. States below the floor are in the index but have no page, so this total is smaller than the national count.

  • Every figure in this block is NATIONAL. It is identical on all 6 of Velvet Taco's state pages and is not apportioned to Texas — dividing a national percentage into a state is not a fact about anything, which is why no Texas growth rate is published anywhere on this page.
  • Openings are individually dated records new to the index; net new is the difference between two count snapshots. The two answer different questions and rarely match.
  • This brand's index coverage is still maturing, so growth percentages are withheld — the counts shown are individually verified store openings.

  • Steps are irregular, so a pace is openings divided by the step's real length and multiplied by 91 days rather than a raw quarterly count.
  • A batch-suspect share above half means the records were created on an index-wide vendor ingest day or bunched into a few days of the step; it impeaches the timing, not the existence of the stores.
  • National figures. Not apportioned to any state.
