Nope. I love Texas, but I'm an American first. If Texas secedes, I will leave the state....not the country.

(Secession isn't going to happen anyway though, so it's completely irrelevant.)

My city isn't on the list and our unemployment rate just went up to 7.1% so not all of TX is doing fine and dandy. We were hanging on there for awhile though and I think we'll pick back up quicker than most other places.
