Texas retained the Right to Secede
No, they didn’t. They did retain the right to divide into more than one state.
Quite frankly, there is still some question about whether or not we were re-admitted back into the Union properly after the Civil War, so whether or not we “retained the right to secede” may be a moot point. It really won’t matter when Texas decides it has had enough. We will just say, “We’re leaving. Too bad. So sad.” Texas was once a Republic and because of that has a reputation for being independence-minded. This attitude attracts those of like mind, especially out in farm & ranch country.
Our Attorney General has filed 23 or 24 (can’t remember the exact number) lawsuits gainst the feral govt. So, believe me when I say that at some point enough will be enough.
