Aside from the political issues, and even absent the use of force by the US Government, I don't think Texas could stand on its own economically, not at the level we would like.
Now if we could take some states with us, like Oklahoma and Arkansas for buffers, and the old southern states, then we might have a chance, as long as we avoid an all-out war with the north again. We might even take Utah and Arizona along in terms of political amity, which would mean New Mexico too, altho they wouldn't like it much, I think.
