Have you heard of the concept of research? For instance maybe the legal definition of cities and towns may vary depending on the overall government, such as the state government, and therefore what defines a city may vary depending on the state. No. Because you read a single article.

"Except I guess you didnt read Wikipedia"

Show me where that article says that anywhere.

What part of 'research' dont you get? Wait, you're the guy that didn't know what 'period' meant so this makes sense. Dont worry, I'll do your research for you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town

Since the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution largely leaves local-government organization to the individual U.S. states, the definition (if any) of "town" varies widely from state to state. In some states, the term "town" refers to an area of population distinct from others in some meaningful dimension, typically population or type of government. The characteristic that distinguishes a town from another type of populated place a city, borough, village, or township, for example differs from state to state. In some states, a town is an incorporated municipality; that is, one with a charter received from the state, similar to a city (see incorporated town), while in others, a town is unincorporated. In some instances, the term "town" refers to a small incorporated municipality of less than a population threshold specified by state statute, while in others a town can be significantly larger. Some states do not use the term "town" at all, while in others the term has no official meaning and is used informally to refer to a populated place, of any size, whether incorporated or unincorporated. In still other states, the words "town" and "city" are legally interchangeable.

For Texas:

In Texas, although some municipalities refer to themselves as "towns" or "villages" (to market themselves as an attractive place to live), these names have no specific designation in Texas law; legally all incorporated places are considered cities.

So no, it's not Wiki making a mistake, it's you not looking shit up.
