We need eight more Senators -- and having Texas insist on compliance with the 1845 admission promise of being able to split into four more states for a total of five Texas states would do that. We would have ten Senators from Texas with five Texas states -- West Texas, South Texas, East Texas, North Texas, and Central Texas.

To BuckeyeTexan, please ping your Texas list for the above suggestion of gaining eight more Senators from Texas by dividing Texas into five States.

Even Snopes agrees that it can be done.

Claim: A clause in the document annexing Texas to the United States allowed for Texas to be divided into five different states.
Status: True.
Congress on 1 March 1845, which included a provision allowing Texas to be sub-divided into up to four more states with slavery being banned in states carved out of Texas territory north of the Missouri Compromise line and left up to popular sovereignty in states formed south of the line.

No thanks on splitting Texas, personally I prefer secession.

Texas will never, ever avail itself of its right to split. If you think they will, you don’t know Texans.

South Texas would be Democrat.
