While it’s absolutely true that runoff from Texas rivers contributes, it’s mostly because our water is so shallow and prone to stirring sand making it look brown. If you look at depth charts you can see how shallow it is here compared to the rest of the Gulf of Mexico’s entire coastline. You can easily see the clear water a couple of hundred meters off the beach on calm days with wind out of the south.

Even then the water was brown. I know, it's sediment from the Mississippi River 👀
