In the short term yes.
I believe 2015 California has a small advantage over Texas of 3.8% to 4.1% as the oil sector collapsed.

But looking at previous years.

2013 Texas has 3.7% Growth in GSP Cali only has 2.0%.
2010 to 2013 Texas is 4.5% Growth and California is 1.8%.
California growing .3% faster after years of growing 1.5%~ slower is pretty underwhelming.
