Would Texas Survive Post-Secession?

We've got oil, wind, and natural gas, and we're not afraid to use 'em.
We've got farms & ranches
We've got clean water
We've got warm-water sea ports
We've got guns . . . boy howdy we've got guns. And pert' near everyone can shoot

But would we stand against the drug wars in the South? Would we stand against the US Federal military? Would we stand against whatever tin-pot dictator wanted to try and take us over? International trade disputes?

We'd have a go at it. But would we survive?

    I doubt there would be shooting civil war if Texas secedes in the 21st century. However, if Texas refuses to assume its share of the nation debt upon leaving, as is likely, then Texas would probably suffer trade sanctions from the rest of the United States.

    Given its location, the trade sanctions, and the social disruption secession would cause it is probable that the drug lords would be able to make Texas a Narco-Republic.

    Nope. Not until all of us threepers were murdered for going on a narco-terrorist killing spree.
