A 6 hundred word article is blown up to 6 thousand words to fill more pages and sell more ads. It's not for the benefit of the reader.

Texas Monthly has a long, storied history as a well-regarded print magazine. A content farm it is not.

My overloaded uBlock says otherwise...

There were exactly 0 ads in that piece (unless you consider the 1 pitch to subscribe to that same magazine an ad).

Did you have an adblocker on? It definitely has ads -- I see a few within and a Frost ad to the side. uBlock reports 13 things blocked ... and updates.

I count 7: 4 third-party ad spots on desktop, and 3 subscription pitches (in-house ads) in the article copy.
