Mexico is saying they will not cooperate with Texas' attempt to make a deal directly with them.
That doesn't make Texas' overtures towards making an agreement directly with Mexico okay; that's still a potential violation of the treaty clause, which prohibits negotiation by states as well, not just the ratification of a treaty itself.
Sure, courts may not do anything about it (and given our current courts, probably won't) unless it actually gets to the point where Texas is directly interfacing with another country, but if, for instance, Texas tries its tactic of putting immigrants on flights, but does it to foreign countries, I imagine federal courts are going to be BIG MAD.
