Are you kidding? As long as the oil holds out in the Permian Basin, Texas can meet its bills. West Texas (ranching and the oil patch) should become a state, North Texas (D/FW) another, Houston another, and South Texas (the Valley) can decide if they want to become independent or become part of Mexico. That would leave the weirdos in Austin on their own island to smoke weed and go broke.
