Texas is one of the few states, if not the only, that can actually afford to do just that.

I heard that in reality the federal government would make the actual cost prohibitive.

But if they do, I'm crossing that border and probably never leaving.

But if they did that, would they be able to still get away with not having a state income tax? That's one of the biggest draws.

A clause in the document annexing Texas to the United States allowed for Texas to be divided into five different states. There is a qualification that it would have to be approved by the U.S. Congress but can you imagine 5 "Texas" states with 10 U.S. Senators, etc.?
