I drove from Houston to San Diego once. It was 26 hours and a ton of it was within Texas. You can drive for 8 or more hours and easily still be in Texas.
Also, out-of-state license whilst residing in Texas is illegal. You only have so many days (14, IIRC) to change your address on your Texas license if moving within Texas. I got hit with that at a traffic stop.
It’s not too surprising given that Texas was founded as a slave republic.
I suppose things might be mitigated:
women who need abortions can go to New Mexico for such (that and more regular use of pregnancy tests).
maybe get a driver’s license out of state and use it in Texas—I also wonder if one can use fake fingerprints.
maybe have open-carry marijuana protests on Hitler’s Birthday.

30 days to change address if you move within the state, 90 if from outside. 521.054, 521.029
30 days for car registration - 502.040
