ansell is right.
There is nothing concrete in the annexation agreement that permits Texas to secede. We did, however, reserve the right to separate into as many as four additional states.
We also kept possession of all our public lands — they were not ceded to the Union.
There’s another issue that some have debated, and that is whether the annexation agreement of 1845 was nullified after secession and readmission after the Civil War. It is possible that the post-war readmission agreement would override the previous agreement of 1845.
I noted the poll that Drudge posted that 75% of Texans would vote against secession. I think that is true, myself included — as of TODAY.
The question is how far Big O will try to push us in the future and what the breaking point might be.
I think Texas could become a haven for the conservatives of the U.S., and if allowed to be done peacefully would be a great place to avoid the Obama communist revolution which is being implemented at warp speed.
Will it happen?...No since the other 75% don't mind having socialism force fed down their throat.

Right. I have read about this too.
