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.

That is assuming that social conservatives would run it. Which could definitely happen. But I don't think for one second there would be an Apartheid type govt. in any shape or form. I know plenty of people from Texas, and that just ain't gonna happen.
Even if it did, I would assume that people living there would still have dual citizenship. I don't even think there would be a national "border" between us.
As for what does Texas have to offer...OIL! And giant access to the Gulf Of Mexico, gas refineries, and ocean oil rigs.
