The Civil War settled that. The RWers can go whenever they want, but Texas ain't goin' nowhere. It isn't theirs. It's U.S. territory. Period.
All discussion of this is fantasy. It doesn't matter who cares or doesn't care.
edit: I know the point you're making OP, but dignifying this idea as remotely doable, is a big part of the problem too.
