Those were conditions set by the Republic of Texas, so obviously the US Congress accepted them. I don't know where the secession clause is, but I will try to find it. Maybe in another document.

Actually no. Those were the conditions outlined in the treaty of annexation passed in April. Texas was actually accepting the conditions as passed by Congress.
