" Should Texas lead the way to the exits, I predict that at least half a dozen other states will follow in rapid succession, joining Texas in a new American Union."

How long before they get sick of being "under the maw" of Texas?

You obviously don't know what Texas is about, if you think it would attempt to lord over the other secessionist states.

At least one of our worst presidents was a Texan, which leads me to think that maybe other states wouldn't be very happy in a new country organized around Texas. Maybe Texas wouldn't be altogether happy without some big project that people elsewhere wouldn't be too keen on.

But regardless of what Texas does or doesn't do, other states wouldn't want to be just an appendage of somebody else's new country, so unless Texas itself is split up into smaller states, I can't see Oklahoma or Kansas or Louisiana wanting to be the tail of a very large dog.
