ANY state can secede…secession is basically telling the status quo to bugger off….Im sure it wasnt “legal” for the colonies to secede from Great Britian at the time.
The worst thing about Texas splitting (and the thing that most people forget) is that the same region would get eight new senators and, possibly, more seats in the House. They’ve got too many crackpots in congress as it is. One Louis Gomert is more than enough. I’d rather see them leave than split up.

They’d never do it. It would diminish their clout too severely.

Yeah, it already makes some people mad if you remind them that Texas is not the largest state, coming in after Alaska.

Let them secede. Help solve the budget problem as the federal government spends more in Texas then it receives in revenue.

Thanks for that correction. It is all clear now.

And Texas replied we could always split you into 50 and you would have less influence than you do now.

They were not republics. They consider themselves republics. Texas and Hawaii are the only 2.

No. Only if you flunked history and listened to the politically correct version.
