Texas runs like a small country but this wouldn't play out like like this representative and others think.
A lot people would move around not protected by the constitution of the USA and the government regulations would be different and that would probably make businesses move around too.
Texas is a big nice state...... Well the eastern portion of it, but they get a bit arrogant with it. It's their time now but that ish seems to go in cycles. Decades ago it was Detroit, Cleveland, and places like that with those blue collar manufacturing jobs that paid well for there day.
Due to the lax tax laws including no state income tax make Texas more favorable for businesses, but just like other places their time will come and go to more than likely as well.
