the united states is a union that you voluntary join but has no exit clause! Texas has always toyed with that idea but - it's not even possible.
Besides the ani-Clinton talk which could be sarcasm, after Brexit, folk from Texas want to renew their efforts to be an independent country via whatever avenue.

The matter of Texas has bubbled up from time to time since the Civil War, in part due to the state’s unique history. Texas declared independence from Mexico in 1836 and was a sovereign country for a decade before becoming annexed by the United States.
But despite the popular belief that the current Texas constitution gives the state the right to pull out of the United States at will, the Supreme Court has said otherwise, ruling in 1869 that states can’t unilaterally secede from the union, as the Texas Tribune noted.
Still, that same news outlet conceded in April that the secession debate is “getting kind of real,” while the Texas Nationalist Movement points out that no actual law exists that expressly forbids secession. As our friends across the pond proved Thursday, anything is possible.

They have been talking about seceding forever.Rick Perry told them it's impossible because Texas depends more on the government kitty more than it can pump to the Treasury . Should they seceded they will cash strapped . Iv heard Texans are a bunch of racist living there . When Obama became president the were talking of migrating to canada. They were the first state through their lower district court to challenge Obama executive order on immigration. They are a bunch of embiceles,primitive and over blown egos. Mcheeew
