No major combat arms units are stationed there. Texas you have combat units at Ft Bliss and Ft Hood and in California there is the Marine Corps I MEF just north of San Diego.

of which there are plenty in Texas...2 armored and / or cavalry divisions and couple of same type brigades and regiments. In California there is the Marine Corps I Marine Expeditionary Force at camp Pendleton.

That means the 1848 Mexican cession will be up for grabs. I think other Latin and Central American countries will come to their aid...possibly the Chinese as well.
