I think the fed govt would put up a fight. A big one, and there would be a lot of bloodshed.

If Texas were to attempt secession (and I don’t think they will) they woouldn’t be the only state. OK would surely follow and then probably a couple western states.
Also, IIRC Texas supplies more soldiers than any other state in the union. The front line military is pretty much made up of rural southern white boys many of whom would refuse. It would truly be a mess.

That goes without saying. Will probably take at least 10 years to achieve.
1st step would be for Texas to sue for return of Fed confiscated land.

This raises interesting questions. People have emigrated to the US for freedom so now that freedom and liberty are being lost in the communist takeover by the Democratic Party, where will those in the US who want freedom be able to emigrate?
Will restoring the Republic of Texas provide that place of freedom and liberty being lost in the other 49 states? Will Texans be brave enough to take that step and stand up to the Federal Government? Will federal military troops actually shoot at Texans? Will Texas have to stand alone or would other Red States join them and create a new Confederation of States of America?
One major consideration about Texans is that the state has been integrated with many latin american illegals and Blue State transfers that don't really have the heritage of independence, freedom and the pursuit of liberty.
Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!
