On Texas's terms of Union, the regnant document should be the congressional resolution that recognized Texas annexation (not Statehood -- Texas was a State before she was in the Union: a good example of a State not "created by" or a "creature of" Congress according to the favorite formulation of Union triumphalists and statists -- who share that political theory with Adolf Hitler) and laid out its terms.

Texas does most certainly have the right to subdivide into as many as five States of the Union by preclearance from the Congress.
