Texas would not be a terribly important ally. What do they offer in return? Nothing. They ironically would be offer more to China and Russia. So much for escaping the socialists.
The whole conversation is silly anyways but it's fun to talk about and speculate I guess.

What would the state government be able to do that they can't already do?
You are acting like with the snap of a finger's suddenly all of the people in Texas turn into lizards... I don't see Johnny in this thread yet, so let's try to keep the lizards out of it.
Plus, Texas has a lot of resources, has a great bit of control over the energy industry, and a massive connection to Mexico. Despite what people like to think about Mexico, a lot of money flows through that border every day in trade. Without the large border, trucks will be forced to go around, increasing shipping costs dramatically and causing quite the headache for New Mexico.
