This has nothing to do with any translation of any language, it's a US English expression.

    It is a joke.

    They are intimating that texas makes so many mistakes that "Don't mess with texas" may be a blowhard boast to texans, but to everyone else it means "just let the idiots wreck themselves"

    Still has nothing to do with translating anything from any other language.
