Remember, the date the death is reported and the date of death isn't the same. Once a death has been confirmed to be due to COVID-19 it is added to the dashboard as a new reported fatality. The new death is then added to provisional data and is counted on the actual date of death.
According to the provisional data, of the 16 new deaths reported in the month of September 5 occurred in September, 10 occurred in August, and 1 of the deaths occurred back in September 2020.

Texas COVID-19 Data Definition for Fatalities - Deaths for which COVID-19 is listed as a direct cause of death on the death certificate. A medical certifier, usually a doctor, determines the cause(s) of death. DSHS does not include deaths of people who had COVID-19 but died of an unrelated cause. Fatalities are reported by where the person lived as listed on the death certificate.
