You have a good point there. Of course the obvious connection is the hispanic population, which is big in both states. That could be a uniting factor. Also, Austin is fairly liberal, and has a large computer geek population. There wouldn't be much friction between Austin and San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose. On the other hand, you have the rest of the Texas population which has much more in common with Arkansas and Louisiana. Maybe Texas splits on its own and California asks to join it in an economic union that is made more permanent later on. I can't see Texas asking to join up with California. Texas will stay in the union or go it alone.
