If Texas became it's own nation, it would probably become a cross between Russia and Switzerland. It would quickly develop a highly centralized oligarchy, basically operating off of oil and gas exports, while still having good relationships with it's larger neighbors and have beneficial tax policies.
It would become a great safe place for super rich people to hide money while it's actual population declines economically.

I don't know much about Texas. Is this meaningfully different from how it is now?

“Texas” is not a monolith. It’s like five different states staple-gunned together.

They're already trying to annex counties from New Mexico
