Texas is much more sustainable than many sovereign nations today.
Illegal immigration is a problem in Texas, but Texans can be very creative when they need to be.
Apart from outright secession, which I'm not advocating (yet), Texas is probably the only state with the political will, the resources, and the cajones to stand up to Obama's thugocracy.
Except how many of the businesses headquartered or running out of texas will pull up once texas pulls a move like that? Me thinks their resources will be much less then.
I hope not. I'd miss CFS with mashed potatoes and pan gravy, puffy tacos and number 1 plates in general, central Texas BBQ (City Market in Luling holla!), Dallas show ponies (and I don't mean horses), border runs for booze, vanilla extract, and general carousing, the Marfa Lights, the chewable air along the Houston Ship Channel.... Obviously I could go on. It's my home. I'd miss the goosebumps I feel when I enter the Alamo. I don't share the politics of most of my fellow Texans, but the United States would be a smaller, sadder place without my home state. It's a big enough place to accommodate freethinkers like Sam Houston (who was staunchly against secession), Molly Ivins (my neighbor for a few months in Austin), and Ted Poe (who sat behind me in our high school band).

I don't think Texas legally can secede. I'm a native born Texan. I will be honest. I'm not patriotic in anyway. I just happened to be born in the USA. I'm a Texan first and American second (that's if I mention I'm an American at all). Tell someone you're from Texas and you're nationality is pretty much a given.
