Like I said, unless if the other states give consent or Texas can successfully revolt against the United States (doubt it) then it will not secede.Originally Posted by LeoVlaming
You're right to an extent in regards to perpetuity. Things have the ability to not be perpetual if action is taken but in the absence of action, some things are indeed perpetual if only legally.

Should have thought about it before joining the USA.
Not really that stupid of an idea, Texas has a balanced budget, and just about every natural resource a nation could be blessed with.
If Texas were to become independent it would have to assume its part of the Federal debt and service that debt at probably substantially higher intrest rates.
I have seen some polls that put it at about 60/40 for or against. Unless you've lived here, you wouldn't really get it.
Texans are an independent bunch. We think of ourselves as Texans first. We have s proud history. We fought our own war of independence against the Mexicans in 1835, the only U.S. Territory that can say that.
Texas is not just "any other state," and it's entirely within the realm of possibility that we go our own way in the future
"Can't" is an awful strong word. Many Texans would disagree with you.
It would not, just would require the will of the people of Texas
Oh Dear Lord no.
We'd be conquered by Mexico within the first month. You have to remember that all of the US Armed Forces in our state would be moving out.
The most unpardonable sin in society is independence of thought. - Emma Goldman
Both points are disputable
Your faith in the military prowess of the Mexican armed forces is touching but mildly irrealistic.
