First,
Texas (unlike any other state) can divide itself into 5 states if so inclined.

Read the actual Bill passed by the US house here. https://www.tsl.texas.gov/ref/abouttx/annexation/march1845.html
Second,
As mentioned in the above article, a treaty was signed by the US senate with the Republic of Texas, that allows Texas to leave the Union. I will post that here when I find a link to the Treaty.
If you google, you will find a lot of recent lib posts on how Texas cannot do this or that, and it’s like every other state. But it’s not, it entered as it’s own country NOT a territory or possession of the US.
So did the original 13 states.
The states created the union. The states are the parents; the union is the child.
The reason our nation is failing is because this concept has been stood on its head.
Let your state legislature try to regulate the size of mudflaps on trucks traveling state-owned highways and you will learn the power of majority of bayonets.

Good post. I very much look forward to you providing any further information on this topic.
Thank you.
