If Texas did leave the union, we would at least have one ally we could trust on our southern border.

The problem for Texas is they'd have no allies they could trust on any of their borders.

I am a native Texan, but lived in OK for 7 years and loved it. Also feel confident they would joint us.

Sam Houston went to live with the Indians in OK at one point, Except for football we have a lot in common. (My daughter is an OU grad)

How long do you think it would be before OK. & LA. would want to join them?

“no allies they could trust on any of their borders.”

What about Oklahoma and Arkansas - 2 fairly conservative states? As a Arkansan, I can tell you they would have a lot of sympathy, even if Arkansas didn’t join them. Although I view Texas secession as unlikely at this point, if it gets to that point it will set many of the Red states on fire. You could see a good chunk of the south and mid-west joining them.
