Importance to the nation, manufacturing base, energy production. The fact that Texas would whip every other state's arse in a war.
California has a case on importance to the nation and manufacturing base. But their politics and taxes takes them out of the running, in my opinion.
From a purely numerical standpoint:
Texas, while #2 in GDP among states, is pretty far behind California - New York, at #3, and Florida, at #4, are closer to Texas than Texas is to California.
When you measure it per capita, Texas is 15th. States above them include some with low populations (like Alaska) but several higher population states as well (like Illinois and New Jersey).
In terms of GDP growth, Texas ranks 7th - this puts them second among SEC states (congrats to Tennessee, #5 in the country).
When you measure Real GDP growth, Texas is 18th (the country as a whole, if measured, would be 18th and Texas would be 19th, putting it just below the country as a whole). Tennessee, interestingly enough, is #1. Florida is 4th, South Carolina 13th, and Georgia 14th.
In adjusted per capita income, Texas is 28th (26th is gross per capita income).
While you definitely out perform California in some metrics, the fact is that - financially - the country would suffer more from losing California than Texas (but both would be taking away a huge chunk of GDP if they left).
As far as "whipping every other state's arse in a war" - is this some fan fiction you've read? In what scenario do you envision two states going to war while everyone else just sits back and watches?
Any state trying to leave the union through force isn't going to be fighting other states, it's going to be fighting the entire US military - and Texas would get roflstomped, just like any other state, in that scenario.

Well Texas is stepping up and trying to defend our southern border while our federal govt does nothing.

Educate Yourself About Who Actually Sent The Redcoats Packing
I never posted that backwoods mountain men were the largest contributors from Virginia. I have studied American History a lot more than you have and I am a direct descendant of a member of South Carolina's Spartan Brigade.
The actual truth, not that written by New England Professors is that with few exceptions the English ran roughshod over the northern colonies for most of the war.
When England shifted the war south and instituted brutal policies such as routinely burning people's house's, they kicked a hornet's nest and got their own arse kicked.

Just in the southern theatre:
Nathaniel Green - Yankee
Henry Lincoln - Yankee
Horatio Gates - Yankee via GB
Daniel Morgan - From Virginia
Thomas Sumter - From Virginia
Gates, Morgan, and Lincoln were all at Saratoga as well.

Dude i listed Virginia. I never said that there weren't generals from the north.
What I very factually stated was is that it was the citizens of South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia who were the ones who rose up and sent the redcoats home.
At the very end George Washington led his army which had been lurking outside New York City for most of the war south to Jamestown to bottle up Cornwallis.
This was after the British had been cut to pieces in the backwoods of the 3 states that I cited.

Thanks for your service? Not sure being a survivor of the Alamo is brag material considering it was surrounded and surrender or treason was the only way, but still being alive in 2024 is impressive.

I get what you're saying but this misses the point. Texans didn't magically appear in Texas one day. The Tennesseeians, Virginians, South Carolinians, left for opportunity. It is not too dissimilar from when some of the English left for America. Southerners left for Texas. Texas is the shite. We took your best and created a nation. Now we're the best state in the best country in the world.

The Carolinas wernt even really colonies. They were nothing more than a glorified crew.

I will reduce this to a level you may be able to understand.
The trade in agricultural commodities berween Britain and the southern colonies was very important to the empire and made trade with the north look like a pimple on the King's arse.
Both sides were making fortunes. If the British had adopted a conciliatory attitude with the south rather than being assholes, they may have won the war.
With few exceptions whenever there was a battle in the north, the colonists got their shite pushed in.

I will agree that Californication is way too beautiful (weather etc.) for the pathetic blue people that currently inhibit/inhabit it.
