What it says on the tin. What would it take for Texas to secede from the Union, but to refuse to join the Confederacy (which was declared/formed shortly afterward), and instead declares a "2nd. Republic of Texas"? Is this even possible?

If Texas did decide to "go it alone", what effect would this have on the CSA (at this point only consisting of Lousiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina)? Would other seceding states (if there were any more) declare themselves independent republics, rather than join the CSA? How does this affect the Union's military strategy?
