It didn’t take long for Dixie to be noticed outside of her immediate area.  The drug cartels of Mexico put a price on her head.  It took them a while to realize she didn’t have a head to take.  Texas offered her a commission in the Texas Guard.  She declined but accepted their next offer to cooperate with them, and sent a Sherman with supporting drones to relieve the defenders of El Paso.  Historians still argue over whether she turned the tide there or not.
