History of Roosevelt County

In March 2026, the Republican House Speaker of Texas, Dan Burrows, filed interim charges to create a Texas state committee to study the legal and economic implications of a legal Texan annexation of Roosevelt County and neighboring Lea County. This followed an effort by two Republicans in the New Mexico Legislature to create a state amendment that would allow New Mexico's counties to vote on legal secession from the state. There is some support for this within the counties; such an annexation would transfer the Republican-majority counties from a Democratic-leaning state to a Republican-leaning one.
