To stand up to that threat, the Governor must have high US Armed Forces officers & commanders - who are the officers in the Texas National Guard - willing to disregard their oaths to the Federal Officials & willfully disobey Federal orders.

Those officers swore no oaths of loyalty to any federal officials. It depends upon their perception of the Constitutionality of the federal actions, which they DID swear an oath to.
