Can Texas Legally Secede From the United States?

    by Aneri Pattani June 24, 2016

Hey, Texplainer: Britain voted to leave the European Union. Can Texas secede from the United States?

In the wake of Britain’s historic vote to leave the European Union — nicknamed the "Brexit" — speculation of a Texit on the horizon has cropped up once again. The secessionist movement has a long history in the Lone Star State. Delegates for the Texas Republican Party even recently debated adding secessionist language to the party's platform. But is it actually legal for Texas to leave the United States?

Only if a sufficient number of the other states, and Congress, agree.

Yes we can. The Texas Nationalist Movement is working towards this end. I support them fully.

This country did not legally separate from Great Britain, so why should Texas behave any differently?
