At least half of the population would try to leave. Complete social collapse. A whole lot of jobs and money in Texas come from the highways and ports. Suddenly change those from America to the Serene Republican Church of Texas without a very tightly organized diplomatic arrangement would collapse the whole thing.
Also independent Texas would immediately become a vassal state for America so why would it even matter
