Better question: why are the other so low?
Not all states have had their first wave. Ones that have yet to experience widespread incidence will obviously be lower. Over time this will change as other states "catch up"
Texas does not count "probable". Other stats may or may not count that. Texas actual rate of the death will be at least twice what its report official tally is for that reason.
This isn't difficult. Over time most states will see rates fall closer and closer to the mean, which will go up as states experience their initial outbreaks. We are getting better at treating, so one would expect the follow ons to have lower incidence of fatalities, all things equal.
