Texas is planning to annex parts of New Mexico, as stated by the Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives.

Recent reports indicate that the Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives has directed a legislative committee to study the possibility of annexing certain counties from New Mexico, particularly those rich in oil resources such as Lea and Roosevelt counties. While multiple sources confirm that such a study or consideration is underway, all emphasize that any actual annexation would require approval not only from both state legislatures but also from the U.S. Congress, making the prospect highly complex and uncertain. The initiative appears exploratory and political rather than a concrete plan to annex territory imminently. Historical and constitutional realities, as well as local skepticism, suggest that this remains a preliminary inquiry rather than an active policy to annex parts of New Mexico.
