How about...Guantanamo?

There's precedent for these sort of foreign enclaves that would still be a part of the host country but fall within the geographical borders of another. Mexico could be open to some sort of agreement.

France keeps French Guiana and the ESA gets to launch rockets there. It's strategically valuable.

Logistically that would be a nightmare, everything by boat. Not to mention its surrounded by Cuba.

Guantanamo was more just an example of a foreign presence that avoids the challenges of actually working in a foreign country. A "rocket embassy" in Mexico would probably just have some of the same challenges of getting stuff to Texas.
