What we specifically told them was that anyone could participate in any chapter. In other words, if the Arizona / New Mexico chapter is closer, then feel free to hang out with them, instead. I don't think we specifically talked about them officially "annexing" part of the RRC, though.
That said, I don't have any specific issues with the west texas region becoming part of a "SouthWest" chapter. I consider the chapter lines to be pretty fluid, so anyone in any chapter is welcome to participate in our events. I think it's probably one of those things we should simply let the folks in that region decide. If they all want to be part of SWC, then more power to 'em.
Don't worry, you Republic of Texas, types...it's just a chapter, not secession.
Oh, on a related note, we do plan to have events out that direction at some point. Specifically, I think all of us would like to hit Katemcy Rocks at some point. Also, it's not illegal for folks in the same region to get together on their own, either.
