Here you are, a white boy virgin without a clue. Texas is one of the only states that can actually survive on its own. A lot of you other states are dependent on Texas. Texas currently sits on one-quarter of the nation’s oil reserves and one-third of the nation’s natural gas reserves. Even more, fully 95% of the country receives its oil and gas courtesy of pipelines that originate within Texas. 
Texas is the only state with its own power grid. Developed over the course of the last 100 years, the Texas grid covers the majority of the state and is fully state controlled. 
You need Texas more than it needs you.
