The right to secede predates the US Constitution. Heck, the US was created by an act of secession.
I'd like nothing better than to say that Texas has the right to secede. But no treaty with the US government ever acknowledged that right, and the court decisions in this country basically say states have no right to secede. And I'll point out that the US was created by an act of secession and a war.

Whether it’s a war or not is entirely up to the Feds. However, Fed public sentiment and the current leadership seems to be of the opinion ‘just let them go, we don’t want them here’.
Now would be a great time to leave.

With logic like yours we still be subjects of the King of England.
Nothing in the Constitution forbids secession, and court decisions mean nothing if you can't or aren't willing to enforce them.
The day some communist scumbag in DC orders an attack on Texas is the day this Republic falls.
