Texas supported the Confederate cause due to strong states rights support provided by the US Constitution (for every state to run their own government with only limited federal govt. interference). The federal government was only given power to coin money and to provide for the common defense against foreign threats.

Overall, a combination of military assistance and logistical support was essential for the Texans to succeed in their revolutionary efforts.
