What say you, Texans?

The really elegant part of the solution is that a 49-star U.S. flag is already legal-eagle. After Alaska joined the Union, our flag had 49 stars (I just got my example by express package delivery about a month ago) for about eight months, until Hawaii came in.

Seven rows of seven stars, offset. Looks very similar to the 50-star flag.

Does Texas have the right to secede?

This heavily popularized bit of Texas folklore finds no corroboration where it counts: No such provision is found in the current Texas Constitution[1] (adopted in 1876) or the terms of annexation.[2] However, it does state (in Article 1, Section 1) that “Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States...” (note that it does not state “...subject to the President of the United States...” or “...subject to the Congress of the United States...” or “...subject to the collective will of one or more of the other States...”)

“Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible.”

And the ‘..under God..” part was NOT a mistake, will NOT be change, and were proud of it.
