Do I need a 2nd brood chamber?

How many bees can survive in a single brood with 9 frames?
Can I just add a super, or should I put a 2nd brood chamber?

I live in East Texas. We have mild winters here. I think my bees can make it on one deep and one medium. I plan to give it a try anyway. I caught EIGHT huge swarms this spring and flat ran out of deeps......so they got medium supers. If they get light in late winter or early spring I can always feed them (which I have to do anyway even with two deeps)
