The modern development in Progressive era Texas that did not contribute to the Klan's reemergence in the 1920s is:
• **increasing Asian immigration.**
While the Klan was predominantly focused on issues surrounding the perceived threats posed by African Americans, immigrants from Europe, and cultural changes related to urbanization, the specific concerns surrounding Asian immigration were less central to the Klan's agenda during that era.
