Mormons in Texas

Supposedly, before he died, Joseph Smith was looking at bringing his Mormon flock to Texas. Instead, Smith ended up dead and the Mormons went to the Salt Lake Valley.

What if Brigham Young and died with Smith and Joseph Smith's son Joseph Smith III lead the Mormons to Texas?
 
Considering that the main reason for the exodus was to avoid the rampant abuse the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints were receiving, they'd be pretty leery of heading towards Texas since Texas had more people.

Before Joseph Smith died the abuse wasn't as bad. Afterwards they kinda just wanted to get away from everyone. If you wanted Texas you might need to have Joseph Smith and Brigham Young to die of natural causes.
