Texas is the only voluntary Comp state. BUT you remain liable for the workers' injuries and should opt out correctly - according to the state rules, filing your decision with the state and posting the proper notice to employees. Employers in all states need to realize they remain liable if they don't have coverage, and that their employees and their employees' families can sue them.
