Under the Texas Constitution, there's not a lot the Governor can do (about anything, ever).

You’re right. The TX Governor is the weakest in the country.

ARTICLE 4. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
Sec. 7. COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF MILITARY FORCES; CALLING FORTH MILITIA.
He shall be Commander-in-Chief of the military forces of the State, except when they are called into actual service of the United States. He shall have power to call forth the militia to execute the laws of the State, to suppress insurrections, and to repel invasions.

By my definition, this counts as repelling an invasion. It's a threat of deadly force against Texas Law Enforcement. It cannot be allowed to go unanswered - and by unanswered I mean the absence of a full-out assault.
