I am hearing stories out of Texas with similar inability to treat or transfer leading to death. 

Very tragic.

Texas is a large state;  I mostly only track Houston.   Texas Medical Center (a number of hospitals in Houston) is reporting 100% of phase 1 ICU capacity filled = 83% of phase 2 ICU capacity = 64% of phase 3 ICU capacity.  359 COVID in ICU of 1412 in ICU.

Your posts are usually very enlightening and very on point, but in this case, I'm not sure what the point of your post was.  I'll assume I'm just missing the intent and followup by adding that the story that I heard was from North Texas. (sorry, don't have the exact location).  Regardless where it's from, assuming it's true (which I would put confidence at > seemingly true, but unverified twitter post, and < personal experience) it's bad out there. =(
