I do not believe that the State of Texas conducts statewide censuses. The US federal government has a Constitutional requirement for a decennial census of the entire nation. The first was performed in 1790, and the most recent was completed in 2010.
The Census
The government must conduct a nationwide Census of citizens every ten years in The United States according to The US Constitution. The US Census, in part, helps determine the mapping for political districts and the use of Federal government monies.
The number of seats each State is apportioned in the House of Representatives is determined by the state's population as a percentage of the total US population, as recorded by the most recent decennial (every ten years) US Census.
To determine how many people and which races are present in the United States today
Department of Commerce is responsible for the census process. "Other essential operations conducted by the Commerce Department include the constitutionally mandated decennial census..." For more information visit http://www.commerce.gov/about-department-commerce

There was no US or government before 1789 when the constitution was written, so there was no impact.
The decennial (every ten years) Census is mandated by the Constitution for the purpose of apportioning Representatives to the States. The greater the population of the state, the more Representatives it will have. States that have an increase in population will have additional Representatives; states that lose population will have fewer.
