I would love to see them try, first off they can't it is illegal to secede from the U.S. Texas is not a self sustaining state , they couldn't survive as a country. when they did try to cut themselves of from the rest of country , like the energy grid that worked out well. what are they gonna do when they get hit with another natural disaster? They just had a massive heat wave. They had areas of the state that didn't have water. When you had triple digit temperatures, winter storms that knocked power out, where did all the aid for that come from, it came from the federal government. When they get hurricanes, which happens pretty much every year. they are not gonna have FEMA to come bail them out. They are not gonna have your neighboring states sending their convoys from the power companies to reinstall their power lines, This just proves that some of dumbest people on the planet are running the state of Texas
