Texas is smaller than the state of Western Australia, while the USA is only slightly bigger than Australia.

The state of Western Australia is 3.6 times larger than Texas, making it larger than Alaska.

In fact, Australia has five states/territories larger than Texas, and only has two states that are smaller. It is just a large country with relatively few divisions of its land.

Earth is a ball, maps are flat. It’s hard to show the curvature on a flat map. Something like that
