I didn't say they wouldn't have to claim bankruptcy and the housing market crumble to nothing, but they have everything they need to survive otherwise. If they seceeded millions would move back to the continental US leaving all sorts of open jobs and the money problems fade away. Not saying it's a reality, but just saying Texas is a joke if they think they can survive on their own. Texans always think they are better than everyone else, and what exactly about Texas would we (the USA) miss? West Texas is COMPLETELY useless, and the coast is one of the ugliest in America (minus a few spots). The Dallas area and San Antonio area are nice, but other than that, there is nothing really concrete they offer the US. Oil you say? Well, they are not the #1 producing state of oil in the USA. Cotton would likely be our biggest hit as a nation.
