I looked it up. This is but one reason why Texas will not secede.

 

Which states received the most money from the federal government?

The federal government provides funds through various overlapping programs. As a result, the proportion of federal aid in state revenues is determined by the combined funding received by both state and local governments.

In terms of overall aid, the five states which received the most federal aid were:

 

However, this report goes on to say that Texas is not all that depended on FedGov as are other states.

Thanks-I’ve read that gov Abbott is sort of selective about what he takes fed aid for as well-there is apparently a method to that-but he is an attorney, I’m sure he has legal reasons...

I don’t know if you were born here, or how many generations before you were Texans-but a lot of Native Texans-of any ethnic group-believe that secession/separation has been simmering for nearly 200 years in the depths-just the right series of incidents can bring it to the surface with little or no warning, but those things probably vary somewhat from year to year. I’m one of those Tejanos who would not be upset at all to see that happen if the path of the US does not change next year-in fact, I’ll be delighted and assist in any way I can...
