No, Texas could divide itself into as many as 5 states but there is no provision for secession from the union.
OK--maybe I'm just dense when it comes to this, but I have what I think is a very basic question.
Once a state like Texas declares it is seceding, then laws of the existing Union immediately have no effect in Texas. Thus, the argument about whether it is "legal" to secede is non-existent, as the laws "being broken" will be existing in a different country and have no bearing at all in the new state.
How am I incorrect here?
Other than the Constitution of course. The truth is of course rights like land belongs to those that can defend them, Russia is showing that to Ukraine as we speak. Biden may do the same in Texas, we shall see I guess. I once foolishly believed the American Army would never turn on the people again, now with the military we have, not so sure.
