I am getting a bit tired of Texas leaving the C.S.A. after the win the Civil War (unless it happens decades afterwards), so could Texas have seceded from the Union along with the Confederacy? I’m not sure.
1. I don’t know how they would start of separate at the beginning. They would have wanted to work collectively against the Yankees.
2. My idea is to have Texas leave during the Civil War so early as to seem that they were never a part of the Confederacy. Basically, either there’s a different Confed president or Jefferson Davis is less receptive to the State’s Righters. Texas and rump Arizona feels left out all the way in the West for some reason, and leave the Confederacy as the reborn Republic of Texas (not Lone Star, since Houston fled and is the leader of the rump pro-Union Army of Texas composed mainly of antislaveryites and German immigrants). Davis might not like it, but the Confeds are eager to let them and prove that their nation allows secession peacefully after signing treaties with the Texans to cooperate and coordinate in their war of independence and a five to ten year alliance plus other concessions.
You can basically make up any sort of “Southrons Win!” solution to the Confederate/Texan victory, but I guess it’ll be the Yankees losing their nerve after a string of brutal losses, and demoralization after hints that France might get involved (they don’t, but Napoleon and Maxmilian cut deals with the Texans regarding Mexico). It’s not like Lincoln or anyone really cares that there are “two” “countries” rebelling, but the final defeat will be really humiliating.
I don’t know if the Texans having more autonomy will do anything towards the war. The Confeds will probably have to send them any aid they did in OTL.

I still really like the idea of Sam Houston fighting against his former Lone Star Revolutionaries because he loves the Union more.
