If Texas refuses to obey federal law, and then refuses to pay federal taxes... At that point it would no longer be part of the United States. We had similar discussions before about stats wanting to leave the United States, but good luck to Texas trying to defend it's borders with federal money and resources. States are financially strapped as it is so I don't imagine them walking away from federal tax dollars any time soon.

I would love to see Texas do this really, mostly because I'm bored with what's currently in the news.
