Electro-Mech's own sales and shipping records place Texas seventh among all 50 states, with 785 records across 279 cities and towns - 649 scoreboards and 136 accessory display records that, when accessories are counted at their actual paired-unit total, represent 869 displays shipped into the state since 1999. Despite that national ranking, the Texas data looks different from the dense southeastern markets where Electro-Mech ships most heavily. No city exceeds 33 records. Houston holds that number; Tyler, a far smaller East Texas city, sits one record behind at 30, and Lufkin - another East Texas city well under 100,000 in population - follows at 24. Baseball leads the sport breakdown at 304 records, ahead of basketball at 287 and football at 143. The LX2655 indoor basketball scoreboard leads all model counts at 70 records, one of 117 distinct models in the Texas data. Among the largest recurring named buyers, the organizations at the top of the list are not schools or school districts - they are fitness operations and other commercial buyers. This article reports what the record shows and notes plainly where the record is silent.

How Many Electro-Mech Records Does Texas Have?

Texas holds 785 records in Electro-Mech's own sales and shipping history - 649 scoreboards and 136 accessory displays spread across 279 cities and towns from the Gulf Coast to the Panhandle.

Those 785 records rank Texas seventh among all 50 states in the nationwide Electro-Mech record, which covers 24,786 entries from Maine to Hawaii. Seventh is a real position, and it reflects more than two decades of sustained activity across a genuinely wide geographic area. What it also reflects is a state so large that 785 records translate to a thin presence per city. There are 279 different cities and towns in this data - more than most states in the record - but the volume rarely concentrates. That is the defining characteristic of Texas in this data, and it separates the state from the dense southeastern clusters where Electro-Mech has its deepest roots, as of August 2026.

The 649 scoreboard entries are one count. The 136 accessory display entries are a separate one, and they carry a different unit meaning because those displays ship in pairs. Shot clock sets, a pair of LX2160 units per order; practice segment timer sets; locker room clock sets; player stat panels - all arrive as paired units. Counting the accessory records at their actual unit total, Texas accounts for 869 displays in all: 649 scoreboard units plus the full unit count of the 136 paired accessory records.

Records in the Texas data run from 1999 through 2025, a 26-year span. The earliest entries reflect Electro-Mech's pre-LX lineup; the most recent are LX-series scoreboards with LED technology. The data identifies the primary sport in most cases: baseball leads with 304 records, basketball follows at 287, football comes third at 143, and other sports account for 51 more. That sport distribution is itself notable - baseball edging basketball, and football finishing third despite Texas's well-known football culture.

No city in the Texas record approaches the concentration seen in Electro-Mech's strongest southeastern markets. Houston, the largest city in Texas and the city with the most records in this data, holds 33 entries. For a metro that ranks among the four largest in the country, 33 records is a modest number. Tyler, a much smaller East Texas city, sits one record behind at 30. The disparity between Houston's scale and its record count - and between Tyler's scale and its record count - is part of what makes Texas different from Georgia or Tennessee in the Electro-Mech data.

Which Texas Cities Hold the Most Records?

Houston leads the Texas city count at 33 records - and that single figure captures the defining characteristic of Electro-Mech's Texas data: even the largest city carries a modest total.

Below Houston, Tyler follows at 30 records and Lufkin at 24. Both are East Texas cities with populations well under 100,000. Their position near the top of the Texas city ranking, ahead of Austin and ahead of Dallas, is one of the more unusual features of this data. The record documents what was sold and shipped to each city's addresses; it does not explain the relationships or conditions behind individual orders.

Austin, the state capital with a metropolitan area of more than two million people, holds 23 records. Dallas, third-largest city in the state, holds 22. El Paso, at the far western edge of Texas near the New Mexico border, carries 19. Together those six cities account for 151 records - roughly 19 percent of the Texas total of 785.

The remaining 634 records are distributed across the other 273 cities and towns in the data. Most appear once or twice. That distribution - many cities, few records per city - is what "spread thin" means in practice. A state with 785 records concentrated in 50 cities would look very different from one with those same 785 records spread across 279. Texas falls into the second category, and by a considerable margin.

Texas does not have a dominant metropolitan hub in the Electro-Mech record the way Georgia's data concentrates in and around certain county school systems or the way Tennessee has a strong cluster along the I-75 corridor. Instead, the Texas record is genuinely dispersed. East Texas - Tyler, Lufkin, and surrounding communities - is the closest thing to an identifiable cluster, but even there the record does not say whether that reflects a regional dealer relationship, independent purchasing decisions across multiple organizations, or some combination of the two.

In my experience with buyers across the country, a city's position in the record is often less about the city itself and more about the buying patterns of a few key organizations or a distribution point nearby. Where the record is silent on the reason, I tend to leave it there.

Who Are the Largest Buyers in the Texas Record?

The largest recurring buyers in the Texas Electro-Mech record are not school districts or athletic departments - a pattern that separates Texas from states like Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama, where educational institutions account for most of the repeat volume.

Four organizations appear in the record with multiple entries and are named exactly as the record spells them: Lifetime Fitness, Ad Fab and Ad Fab Signs, Irbis Fitness, and IFW Importaciones. The record shows what was ordered and where it was shipped. It does not show why those organizations bought a scoreboard or accessory display, what sport or activity the displays serve, whether displays were installed at the shipping address or redistributed elsewhere, or any detail about the buyers' internal operations. Those questions are outside what a sales and shipping record can answer, and I do not try to answer them here.

Lifetime Fitness appears as a named buyer with multiple records. Ad Fab and Ad Fab Signs appears as a buyer - the record preserves both names; whether they represent one entity filing under two names or two related operations, the record does not say. Irbis Fitness and IFW Importaciones are each named buyers in the record. Beyond their names and the fact of their orders, the record offers nothing further, and I am not going to infer anything further.

The presence of fitness organizations and other non-school buyers among the largest recurring accounts is worth noting for what it says about the range of applications Electro-Mech's scoreboards serve. Schools and recreation departments make up the majority of the 785 Texas records by count - the overall volume is not driven by fitness operators. However, the organizations with the most repeat entries in the Texas data specifically are not the educational institutions that typically lead the count in Georgia or Tennessee. That is a real and documentable distinction in the Texas profile.

For Texas schools, districts, colleges, and recreation departments considering a scoreboard: the majority of the 785 records do come from buyers in those categories. The distinction between Texas and the Southeast is about which organizations appear at the top of the repeat-buyer list, not about whether schools are present in the data. They are well represented. The record simply happens to show a different set of organizations at the top of its multi-entry count.

Texas Sales and Shipping Record: Key Numbers at a Glance

What Does the Brownsville Record Tell Us About Shipping Addresses?

Brownsville carries 18 records in the Texas data, with 89 percent of those entries filed under a single postal code - a concentration that reads as a dealer or distributor shipping address rather than a cluster of local buyers.

The pattern is not unique to Brownsville. In Electro-Mech's nationwide data, certain cities accumulate a high volume of records because a dealer, distributor, or fulfillment operation uses that city's ZIP code as a receiving address. The records pile up at one location while the displays themselves may move on to final destinations that do not appear in the Electro-Mech data. Comparable concentrations appear elsewhere in the nationwide record: certain Alabama and Florida cities carry 98 and 100 percent of their respective city totals under a single ZIP code, a signature of the same pattern.

Brownsville at 89 percent fits that profile. Eighteen records across multiple years, nearly all at one postal code, does not describe 18 different buyers in Brownsville purchasing scoreboards and displays for local fields and gymnasiums. It describes shipments addressed to one location. Where those scoreboards and accessory displays ultimately went, who ordered them for what final use, and whether they remain in service today - those are questions the record does not answer, because the record ends at the point of shipment from Wrightsville, Georgia.

This distinction matters to anyone reading city counts in the Texas data as a proxy for local market activity. A city with 18 records might suggest a hub of scoreboard buying, or it might suggest one active shipping address. The difference is visible in the ZIP code concentration: at 89 percent, Brownsville's count should be read as a single logistics destination, not 18 separate Texas organizations. The record shows what was shipped and where it was addressed at the time of the order. It does not confirm what stands in Brownsville today or who ultimately received the displays.

Readers researching a specific Texas city in the Electro-Mech data should apply the same check: look at the ZIP code spread across that city's entries. A wide spread across multiple ZIP codes is a stronger signal of genuine local buying activity. A tight concentration on one code - especially in a border or port city - may indicate logistics more than local demand. Brownsville, at the southern tip of Texas near the Mexican border, fits the second profile more than the first.

Which Models Lead the Texas Record, and How Does Sport Break Down?

The LX2655 leads the Texas model count at 70 records, followed by the LX2350 at 68 - and together those two models account for roughly 18 percent of all 785 Texas entries.

These totals follow Electro-Mech's standard counting rule: model variants are grouped under one model name. The LX2655 count of 70 includes any earlier or related variant names filed under that model family in the record. The same applies to the LX2350 and every other model in the data. After that grouping, 117 distinct models appear in the Texas record - a breadth that spans compact indoor scoreboards to large outdoor football displays, over a 26-year record window.

The LX1030 at 58 records and the LX1050 at 52 records reflect demand for baseball and softball scoreboards, which is consistent with the sport-level breakdown. By sport, baseball leads all categories in Texas with 304 records. Basketball follows at 287 records. Football comes third at 143 records. Other sports account for 51. Baseball narrowly edging basketball is a notable result for a state often associated above all else with football culture. The record documents the outcome; it does not explain why baseball places ahead of basketball across the full 26-year data set.

Football at 143 records is a real number, and it represents outdoor scoreboard orders including large-format displays for stadium programs. For Texas programs looking at football scoreboard options, the LX3785 is worth understanding. According to our spec sheets, the LX3785 is an outdoor football scoreboard measuring 32 feet wide by 10 feet tall, weighing 800 pounds, and drawing 3.2 amps at 120 VAC. Score and clock digits on the LX3785 run 30 inches tall; time-outs-left digits run 18 inches; other display rows use 24-inch digits. That is the kind of fixed-digit scoreboard that serves a high school varsity stadium with seating extending several hundred feet from the display.

The 117 distinct models across the Texas record also reflect how broadly the Electro-Mech catalog is represented in the state. No single model drives a majority of the volume. The LX2655 leads at 70, but 70 out of 785 is less than 10 percent. The remaining 90 percent of records are spread across 116 other models - a distribution consistent with the geographic spread across 279 cities. Texas is a wide market, and the record reflects width rather than depth.
