There is the answer...there is no way the U.S. govt. is going to allow any state to secede ever.
As for people saying that Texas uses more federal money than it brings in...on MotherJones (the liberal bible of the internet) it says that Texas is one of the LOWEST in that category. It puts in far more than it gets back.

And one other thing...talking about Texas having a military. They already have a state militia. And it will only ever be used for emergencies like hurricanes. Texas will never have to defend itself in a war. lol
Nobody is going to invade Texas. And if they did, the U.S. would defend it...just like we would if China attacked Mexico for some crazy ass reason.
Texas could definitely go out on it's own. It's oil rich, has a huge ocean front. Plenty of agriculture.
But again...they will not be allowed to leave the Union. Texas is far too valuable to the U.S.
