If Texas were ever crzy enough to dismember itself, here is what I would recommend.

1) State of Galveston (capital Houston)
In the extreme SE corner, with the Brazos as the western border. and then proceeding from the intersection of 31N and the Brazos to that of 94W and the Sabine on the LA border

2) State of West Texas (capital Lubbock)
The panhandle, consisting of that part of Texas west of 100W and north of 32N.

3) State of Pecos (capital Pecos)
All of Texas west of the Pecos, plus that part of Texas between 30N and 32 N that is west of 100W.

The remaineder of Texas would split along 31 N between
4) State of North Texas (capital Ft. Worth)
and
5) State of South Texas (capital San Antonio)

Since the war was fought on the basis of the Union being indisolvable, it wasn't the State of Texas being readmitted, but its government being reconstructed.  The State of Texas still has that right of self-division unless it has explictly given it up at some point.
