the federal government....would bring massive firepower to bear against Texas.....And Texas alone would not be able to defend itself successfully.

Do you have any idea how many Army Posts, Air Force Bases and Coast Guard Bases we have in Texas?
Many, don’t have the number at hand.
Most all are federal troops, and if the federal government (president) nationalizes the Guard and Reserve, they would all be federal troops.
And the logistics, support and supply-train that is necessary to field a modern army/air force is enormous and if interrupted, the troops would be slowed, if not stopped, within days.
