It's the reverse of what's happened here in the Rust Belt. As manufacturing moved south, so with it went the spinoff. Chevy moving it's manufacturing, for example, closed about about a quarter of the light manufacturing in my rural area, which was huge. None of those were cars, but one was a molded plastics place (emblems, door handles, etc). It employed about 60 people in a town with a population of 500ish. When it went, plans for a grocery store we're put on hold (nice way to say abandoned), the only year round restaurant closed (a marina serves burgers in the summer). 

Texas' property values and economy will level off as industries stop fleeing the us. And, unlike new York, the economy there will end up like Missouri's or Michigan's or other places if those manufacturers leave Mexico for somewhere even cheaper 

I've also read that Texas is fast becoming the most popular destination for companies fleeing the taxes of California.
