The major cites are blue but we have several hundreds of counties, that are really small towns some so small, less than a hundred people living there

and since the electoral college is by county it why we always lose
Not quite. What you're thinking about is Gerrymandering. That's done for the districts for the House. For the Presidential vote, it's a straight up vote throughout the state.

For example in 2020
Trump Biden
Electoral vote 38 0
Popular vote 5,890,347 5,259,126
Percentage 52.06% 46.48%

About 1/2 million people move into Texas per year and they move into blue cities mostly, though that probably holds true for those that move out. Probably not enough to make up 600k for this election but in 8 years it might be.
