Nope. Texas exports to Mexico include oil and gas, chemicals, nuclear reactors, iron, steel, plastics, and copper. Mexico’s exports to Texas include nuclear reactors, plastics, oil and gas, furniture, fruit, and nuts. Both are over $100 billion in each direction.
Texas’ GDP is 45% more than Mexico’s, so it’s not unreasonable for two neighbors to have so much trade.

About $3 billion total imports and exports between Mexico and Iowa. Makes sense. Iowa is smaller and further. Iowa’s GDP is 1/6th of Mexico’s.
