Tens of millions of people would flock to Texas in just a few weeks. The number would probably be around 100 mil US citizens in short order. With that many people seeking liberty, there would be no shortage of homes because a lot of homes could be built that many people very quickly, even if they have no previous experience.

I also don't think the petroleum companies would be lacking for physical security, because the people there would protect them as if those companies are their own family. It would also add more strain on the FEDgov once shipments of oil from those companies stop going around the country, because every other state would be pressuring the government to stop going after TX, if they go after them in any way. The one could easily lead the other 49, albeit in a crude (no pun intended) manner.

I'm all for it.

You are joking right? Texan National Guard protecting ExxonMobile’s contracts in Qatar? And ATT left out of serving rest of the 49 States? It would be those corporations who move OUT of Texas.
