Any state can leave if the feds violate the Constitution that the states joined under. I’m a lifelong resident of Texas, and we’d just like to be first!!

Contrary to popular belief, Governments derive their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, and it is quite possible for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which connect them to another. Such action is justified whenever any Form of Government is destructive to the Ends of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

At this time in history, it is arguable that the Government of the United States of America is indeed destructive of these Ends.

Despite what any piece of parchment declares, a people have a God given right of association - or disassociation, as the case may be.

That being said, I don't advocate dissolution of the union. I'd rather see the states stand up to the federal government and put them back in their rightful (limited gov't) place.

The right to secede predates the formation of Texas; indeed, it predates the United States itself.

Texas can certainly secede from the Union. Any state can.
