If it was a nessesity for the kids, would you move to another state?

Little confused, as you don't actually say who has the kids - are you asking whether you should move to Texas so that you can be closer to the kids, who are with the X? Or that you would be willing to move the kids down to Texas with you, to be closer to him? I will assume the former, but it's actually not clear from your question.
You have a right to be in contact with your kids (barring legal remedies preventing it, which you don't mention). So if you want to be with your kids and you don't have any problems with relocating, then why not? It doesn't have to mean that you want to rekindle the relationship with your X, and he shouldn't use that to guilt you into keeping a distance from your kids that you are not happy with.
I don't know your story. You have to ask yourself whether you being in the Texas picture is good for them. It may not be (sorry). Perhaps they are settled in the life that they have, and going into a world of shuttling back and forth between houses several days a week to split time between parents would be very disruptive. Is it necessary for the kids, or necessary for you?
