They split if they get too much water!
Shade them
Inconsistent watering usually is the culprit. Living in Texas, it is pretty hot in the summer. You may have to water more than once a day to keep them happy all the time, not just when you water. I live in SE Minnesota and when it is hot, like it has been for quite a bit of the spring and summer this year, I have to water my potted tomato more than once a day and it is in a huge pot. On really hot days it is up to three gallons a day over the day or it wilts. It is over six feet high now, with a heavy yield, but not far enough along to start splitting.
Sounds like they might be getting too much sun , good luck ;)
