No need, they wouldn't last long enough to need one. First winter rolls around and 90% of the state freezes to death.

Awesome. Bye. BTW, no more federal aid, and you'll need a passport to leave in either direction now. You'll have to negotiate your own new treaties with us and Mexico for... well, everything.
We'll throw in Oklahoma for free.

I think they should. It would take care of the problem immediately since they would get curb stomped in about .2 seconds.
Isn't it cheaper and easier to buy a plane ticket and just move. Earth pretty big.
Do it lmao, let's see how it turns out.
Why is it that the crazy morons always have a louder voice than anyone else?
“The feds are staging a civil war, and Texas should stand their ground.”
That’s not a post by an anonymous user on a fringe messageboard. That was a post on X by Rep. Clay Higgins, a GOP congressman from Louisiana, who was responding to the Supreme Court’s ruling that the Biden Administration—and not Texas—has jurisdiction over border enforcement.
Stay in your lane, pal.
Texas is a big place but I don't know if it has the capabilities support itself as a sovereign country and have a full scale war against 49 other states. That being said secession is a bumper sticker cause for most who support it not to diminish the threat but I think they are obviously overplaying their hand.
it doesn't, but that doesn't mean idiots won't try to make it happen anyway.

Hahaha good fucking luck. We all saw Uvalde, we watched your government let people freeze to death at home. Go ahead and try but historically oil rich nations with authoritarian leadership get some of that sweet American™️ freedom by force.
If Texas wants to leave they can do it over the United States of America's dead body.

Who didn't see this coming? It was clear from beginning.
And it's another proof that compromise politic doesn't work.
