There's many causes of the poor attendances at Texas.
In 2021, the Nascar All-Star Race was moved to Texas, and was held in early June (the old IndyCar date). Nascar's Austin race was held in late May. As a result, IndyCar visited Texas in early May.
This year, Nascar's ALl-Star Race at texas was moved to late May. Therefore, both IndyCar's Texas race and Nascar's Austin race were moved to late March (in different weeks), which makes no sense. So yes, scheduling is a major conflict.
Then we can argue about Texas' lack of promotion of the race. But then we can also argue that IndyCar has made no favors to Texas either. Americans don't tolerate annual date changes.
