Didn't the Texas Republic join the Union with a condition that they could later subdivide into, if memory serves, five smaller states, if they so voted?

That agreement with the Texas Republic was signed before Texas was admitted as a state. Now that Texas is a State, I don't think they could legally split into five states.
