Texas has its own army? That's news to me.

Several states do. People forget that the States' have always been allowed to form their own militaries by both the 2nd Amendment and Article 1 of the constitution.

The Texas National Guard isn't the Texas Army, however. That is the Texas State Gaurd. These militaries are wholly administered, run, and led by the state government; and are not part of the US military; and can not be pulled into the US military in the event of an emergency.

Yes, you can have your own navy too.
