What is the size and background of our PC's? Mine have historically really liked when I tailor an adventure to their strengths and/or weaknesses.
At any rate, going after any sort of fossil fuel resource always seems a good bet. In college I ran a game that started with Kalisz but ended up with the PCs (both American and non-American) accepting membership in the German military. One of their favorite missions was covertly seizing an old but functioning North Sea oil rig that the French had "appropriated". The mission involved both a maritime element and a quasi-spec ops feel that they really enjoyed. Given the plethora of options described by other posters and the innate desire of Texas to be the world's leader in petrochemical production it would be a good mission.
Another possible (although not maritime) mission for Texas based characters could be escorting a "diplomatic team" from the Lone Star State into Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, or even Kansas to seek out like minded communities who have been abandoned by MilGov/CivGov that may be interested in trade, mutual protection, or even incorporation into a potential "Lone Star Republic". If the PC's from my current campaign ever end up in TX that is going to be one of my missions, especially given their familiarity with those areas IRL.
