Many will go on about the natural resources of Texas, current budget, etc. However, it may be a fools proposition to think the other 49 states will take so kindly to succession and the additional burdens they would be subject to. There are tremendous federal dollars and benefits that the residents of a new independent state would no longer have access to, or would have to pay for very dearly. Not to mention new requirements for treaties, tariffs, and other infrastructure currently funded by or provided by a federal government.
Not saying it's a bad idea, but the devil is in the details and it does not appear to be well thought out prior to the push for execution.
The bottom line is that this bill will never get out of the legislature.
Texas is a Net Payer state: Texas pays more to the federal government than it gets back.

Texas also has no state personal income tax, so it is easy to simply discontinue taxpayer federal returns and begin Texas state returns to keep their own money in-state.
Every state should have an emergency plan to go it alone or in a regional group of states anyway. To not have a Texit type plan is a measure of gross neglect and incompetence by governors and state lawmakers.
Gee little Israel can figure national sovereignty out but Texes couldn’t? LOL. Your post is complete hogwash.
This bill is only asking for a vote on whether a plan for succession be created. It could prove to be too complex or otherwise undesirable or maybe not. I think there should be a plan in place. I would vote for that.
