TX is one of the few, if not the only red federal tax donor states, so they should obviously continue to fund the many southern red tax recipient states until or if they join, as well as take control over the WOT since many RWers who live there that I have read online, wish to wipe Islam from the face of the earth. They also love their guns, so the new nation of TX could also help Mexico in the fight against the drug lords there that threaten to overrun TX' southern border.
