A lot more to it than that. How many countries and in what time frame would recognize Texas as an independent nation? What currency system would they use? Would they try to join in on NAFTA? They have a decent enough infrastructure, sure, but there are a lot of things that would have to be considered that would be unknown variables and would make it difficult to really guess how things would go.
