The biggest problem Texas has are illegal aliens. You'd have an uprising a week after Texas left. Not to mention the likely military incursions from Mexico. The would be a white exodus out of the state and basically you'd be handing over first world buildings to the beaners who will trash it in 10 years.
I never understood the concept of Texas conservatism. They tried seceding once 200 years ago, and they will simply not STFU about it since then. Meanwhile some of the states in question weren't even states before Texas joined (Montana and South Dakota joined in 1889, Texas in 1845) 50 years prior! How can you even claim to be le based state, when some of the states next to you took 50 more years to join the damn union?!
