I'm by no means trying to incite an argument, but I have trouble believing it could sustain itself. I am curious as to what you have taken into consideration when making that statement.
First off, I will state that the whole idea is ridiculous & will never happen...it's just a pipedream.

A good read would be here: Economy of Texas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As you can see, with trade (the key), Texas could make it financially. It makes enough power, petroleum, agricultural & has enough manufacturing to get along well. Could it defend itself without the federal military bases? Good question...it is a very large defense manufacturer.

This kind of talk comes up time and again & is simply a pipedream as I mentioned before. Last time I checked, unless there is a new modification of the modification of the modification (I could go on) of the Constitution/law, I'm still allowed to dream. Who knows, I'm sure there is some law in the Patriot Act that I've broken...
