What if part of Texas had broken away?

Most people know Texas was once an independent republic, but fewer know that during the 1800s, several Texas counties considered separating from the rest of the state during periods of political tension.

What do you think? If some Texas counties had successfully broken away to form a new territory or state, how would that have changed Texas today?
