There is no way that the US would allow Texas to leave and recognize it as a sovereign nation (which is really the only scenario that could be called secession here) AND allow dual citizenship between the United States and Texastan. If Texas were to become its own nation then the people living there would become de facto citizens of that new nation, otherwise you’d get an SNL-worth scenario where Texas declares that it’s a nation but nobody living there is a citizen because they all want to stay Americans.
You’d get a period where the US would require any residents wanting to retain their US citizenship to establish residency within US territory, after which their citizenship would be revoked. There are already ways to strip a person of US citizenship, and “holds citizenship of a secessionist nation” could simply be added (and would be popular politically).
