    Isn’t the principle of the Union sort of that every state is distinct within the United States.

    That’s a good point, although I would argue that (a) Texas has a unique political history that distinguishes it from the other states (with one or two possible exceptions), and (b) Texas is distinct culturally and socially, even if not politically.
