No, we don't. Texas was the last CSA state to be readmitted on March 30, 1870 mainly because it insisted on keeping the right to seceded. (Georgia thinks it was, but they were readmitted in 1865, then given a time-out for bad behavior during reconstruction).

Look at our constitution - no where do the words 'secede' pr secession' appear. It's a great idea and many believe it's true, but as we learned in our (mandatory) Texas History class- it's (sigh) no longer true.

We also gave up the right to split into 5 separate states. That's too bad as it would have protected the rest of Texas from Austin long ago.

“Look at our constitution”

What Constitution? do you mean the one that our so called Supreme Court just walked all over?
