Good question, what would happen if a state wanted to secede from the union?
We know our civil war history. Military force was used to keep the union together back then. Would military force be used today, if a state voted to secede? Would a peaceable agreement be worked out, to allow a state to leave the union?
What about the American citizenship of Texas residents? Would that citizenship be revoked?
Just some questions I wonder about. Nobody knows what would happen nowadays if states wanted to leave the union.
Texas was a Republic - a separate country.
When admitted to the Union they reserved the right to Texit.
So we can go when we want.

Wish I could get some of my family to leave the left coast...
“Military force was used to keep the union together back then.”
Back then. Magic 2 words. with a woke military whose latest policy is gender pronouns and low morale, I have more than an idea who wins this time..
They will need to raise their OWN taxes, their OWN army, their OWN currency, create their OWN foreign diplomacy, develop their OWN allies, and appoint their OWN diplomats....and do everything a nation does to protect it's citizens ... they will have to support and defend themselves, on their OWN, without US involvement.
Among MANY other questions, yours are the most basic that, first of all, Require answers BEFORE filling any state Republican Party “plank” with hayseed and chicken feathers thinking.
Typically, even an 5 year old contemplates whether there’s water in the pool, before jumping.
