"It was only 12 years ago that Texas had a deadly stand-off with those urging secession"

Are they refering to Waco?

If they are, they have their facts wrong: It wasn’t Texas LAWE that conducted that operation; it was the feds.

No, I think he's refering to a small group of anarchists who believed the government had no right to tax them. They held their own families hostage and had an armed standoff with state police for a couple of weeks. To call them secessionists is intentionally misleading.
